Never read the thread. I've had several computer issues of late, as well as the whole "moving to college" thing. I don't even know what thread you're referring to, sorry.

I am the proud starter of said thread...
It was about public schools and segregation based on sexual orientation...
It "blossomed" into a lot of other things.

Well, I hope he sticks around long enough at least to let me know where I can get a copy of his book.

I'll stick around until the end of time. I'm not going anywhere. In fact, I was planning to decrease the number of visits I pay, since I just started my 3rd year at the university (changed my major back to where it should have been from the beginning: psychology and philosophy)...but, knowing that the sole fact of my existence can become the antithesis, the contradiction, the refutation and attack towards some of the finer folks in here - as Ferret and TomP - I cannot resist the temptation of postponing my vacation.

Bah. Duke and I have had it out for...god, I forget how long.
Duke sees us as inferior people...even non-people...because of where we are from.
I see Duke as a pompous, bigoted windbag, with the occasional valid truth to share, and without a hundredth of the tact necessary to say it in a way that anyone will be willing to hear.
Please believe me, as a seasoned veteran in Dealing With Duke, that the best...no, the ONLY...way to shut him up is to ignore him. Duke thrives on your attentions, whether positive or negative - they are what draws him here. Or haven't any of the long-timers noticed how, when people stop paying attention to him, he wanders away and does something else?
This will be my one and only post on the topic. I encourage others to follow suit.

Almost hit the nail. But missed.
Please, guys - if you're not going to hit the nail on the head the first time, or are not sure - don't hit at all.
Of course I thrive on attention. I thought everyone knew that by now. Nevertheless, it's not just "attention" that I lust for - it's actually something each and everyone in the world wants: someone says something stupid, you reply to him, and you get an entire discussion or investigation about the matter. Period. It would be stupid, now, to assert that because Istanbul posted here, he merely wants attention, and is getting because I'm actually replying to him. Most of my posts in the CPA are in the Political Forum - in their I don't start many threads, I merely reply. I sometimes don't bother replying to intelligent posts. Only to pieces of naiveté. When there's a good handful of worthless members in the CPA, who do in fact post in the Political Forum, I kind of feel enraged. So I reply. They couldn't believe that their stupidity is that thin, so they become defensive, turn away, or attempt to justify their position (which is the best way to reply)...
...and that would be the story behind my crave for attention. Which is, at bottom, a crave to annihilate the stupid.
Now we all want the stupid crushed - we appear to disagree on what constitues stupid...
I could do a name-by-name analysis of some of the "intelligent" members of the CPA...give them attention...but wait, these members don't want attention brought into them! they fear attention, because once there are one eye to many to look at them, their ugliness becomes clear...
