Interesting that you should make so many unsourced claims – the very thing for which you criticized someone on these boards just a few days ago.

Regarding this incident, I mourn for the victims and their families, and I’d like to know more about the adequacy of the training given to the first responders. No, I’m not surprised that a fertilizer plant might have been storing a lot of fertilizer. And yes, I’m disappointed that the facility was in such close proximity to schools, residences, and a nursing home, and I want to know more about how that happened.

While I may have my own opinions about whether or not what happened here is the result of problems unique to Texas, I want a full investigation to be conducted to truly answer that and other pertinent questions. I believe that’s what you do if you’re sincerely interested in solving problems. Until then, I’ll resist jumping to conclusions or pointing fingers.

Like Chilcoot, you seem to feel that you already know all the answers here. And, like Chilcoot’s original post in this thread, your last few posts seem especially bitter. You and he leave the unmistakable impression that you REALLY hate Texas and Texans. I can’t image why. It’s almost as if Texas stands in the way of some dream you have about fundamentally transforming America. Or something.

Anyway, I don’t see much point in discussing this further with you. I’m not going to change your mind, and you’re not going to change mine. Fortunately, since you and Chilcoot are pretty well known here, I don’t think you’re going to change anyone else’s either. So there’s that.

In the meantime, you can continue to remind the rest of us how smart you are, lest we forget. Have a nice night.
clcjim, I see what you did.

When you're cornered you resort to ad hominem insults, when you've got nothing you have to attack someone else (Chilcoot) THREE times, and when you're evasive you won't even answer some simple, civil, questions.

I'm glad I don't act like that.

You almost seem to be taking joy in all this, ala the westboro church sort of way pcketing soldiers funerals. The only purpose you and pthers seem to think this way is to prove how righteous you can by making inane arguements. I remember saying something after sandy hook about it wasn't time to be bickering and all you were concerned about was my penis size and an imaginary man card or some shit.

Just as a reminder, forkush, this is you on page 5 of the Boston Marathon Bombing thread:

Trying my best? Hah! I participate on this board because I DON'T have to try my best. In other forums, I might run into some real competition.

Now that, right there, is you telling us how smart you are, isn’t it? Yeah, I thought so.


So, when I say this:

. . . you can continue to remind the rest of us how smart you are.

I’m really just referring to something you posted, aren’t I? And, since my comment is directed at your post, then by definition, it’s not an ad hominem attack, is it?

Just wanted to clear that up. You’re welcome.


By the way, that's some ego you've got there. I'm glad I don't act like that.

Actually, I was referring to your claim that I have some kind of pathological hatred for Texas. I don't.

To recap, I have been critical of Texas zoning, regulation, politicians, and the electorate that enables the above. Notice, NO personal insults from me. Meanwhile, you try to insult me by accusing me of hating about 26 million of my fellow (Texas) Americans, your BFF accuses me of acting like the Westboro Church, and your other BFF claims I live in my mother's basement. I talk issues; you guys respond with insults.

You guys really do belong together. And yeah, all three of you should be insulted by that last sentence.
For Forkie:



I looked and I couldn't find clcjim's ad hominem attack against you. Of course in your usual method, you distorted what he said for your little soap box agenda.

The thing about your mother's basement was dead on. It wasn't a shot against your mother, it spoke directly about you and your immaturity (I guess you better cut and paste this link for your extensive library).

I guess cities that have Democratic majorities and place chemical plants near populations are exempt from your criticism, right?

And you couldn't find the utter absurdities in Ashley Todd's story. I'm noticing a trend...
