Global thermonuclear war, my ass. That was pathetically overdone. Plus, what he said about Gunnar was a complete lie.
Well, his version of global thermonuclear war. I didn’t to imply it was effective. And I agree with you about his post to Gunnar. But when Doc lashes out like this, I don’t think he cares.

In this case, I don't think he cares if he looks like a raving hypocrite either and that gives me exactly no pleasure to say.
This right here from his post to Gunnar for example: If you criticize a woman you're a sexist.
He's saying this after he attacked Kevin's wife. Blatant displays of hypocrisy, lies and attacking a person's family member and not only that, a family member who is fighting for her life. Where I come from, that's some pretty screwed up crap. It makes him look weak and I'm afraid that's on him now.

I'm not trying to settle a squabble between people who can't keep their crap together. Someone got the second comment removed. They can easily get that one removed as well. That doesn't give him or anyone else carte blanche to lie about people or attack a family member on this board and many or most of us won't let that go without challenge, including me.

I’m not trying to, either. I posted only when I saw Gunnar in the crossfire and wanted to inform him (or remind him) of Doc’s own description of his posting tactics in this kind of situation. I’m not taking sides or approving of anyone’s behavior.

Oh. So when he described his own posting tactics did he mention making obscene remarks about family members who are fighting for their lives?
Did he likewise mention how bf stupid it makes him look?

Done!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Oh thank you! Few things unnerve me like seeing a typo in my own posts that I can't fix!

As far as I can recall, not specifically.

And here is the other thing, RI, because I've got to wrap this up. Kevin's words attacked Cam. Prior to that, Cam had attacked Kevin. God this is like: He started it! No he started it! I'm right in second grade.
Back to my point. The link you supplied shows Kevin attacking Cam. So what does Cam do? He ends up attacking Kevin's family member. Someone who isn't here to defend themselves. Kind of like Trump attacking McCain.
That's not hitting below the belt. That's grasping at straws. If he thinks that makes him look like he's got the upper hand or whatever, he should probably re-think that tactic because it makes him look like he's running scared.
There. I'm done. Screw this.
