    What personal attacks?

    This one:

    I’d say that’s a slippery slope, but you’re already basically at the bottom.

    As for my position, I supported it very well. If a public menace is allowed on the streets, then I have no problem with people taking the law into their own hands.

    Sorry, I’m not a legal absolutist. I don’t believe that every law should be followed no matter what the situation or circumstance. And there are some laws which I refuse to follow entirely. Like the one here in Indiana which says that I can’t use cannabis.

    These cars are a public menace. They block traffic for no reason, they drive into people, they keep getting into accidents.

    Bay area first responders also think they’re a menace. So yes, people should listen to ambulance drivers and firefighters when they are telling them that the city is giving its blessings to something inherently unsafe and I do not have an issue when they take care of the problem themselves.

    Maybe you would sit back and let the government-sanctioned orphan crusher keep crushing orphans and stand in the way of anyone who would pull the off switch because that would be lawlessness, but I would turn it off.

      I was describing your position on the slope. If you think that’s an attack, perhaps your position isn’t very good.

        Is that really all you had to say to what I responded to you with? You wanted me to clarify my position, I clarified it, and you have nothing to say about that? Really?

            I don’t know, maybe respond to any of the five other paragraphs I wrote? You know, since you specifically wanted me to clarify my position?

            For fuck’s sake, at least thank me for clarifying my position like you wanted me to. You can’t even do that?
