Here's a mastodon bone, with a mastodon bone fragment spear-tip embedded in it: found near where I live. Got ANY reasons, or explanations, otherwise? I thought, NOT: but thanks for your kind considerations... 

(Edit note: I thought this was going to be posted under: http://www.acalltopaul.com/comment/3542#comment-3542 , not the top comment. Don't know how I got here, but, oh well...)

Thanks for posting!

Nah

So glad I was able to just listening to the podcast and skip watching this debate. A GOP debate w/out a Paul has to be unbearable.

Check out Randall Carlson.  Go to about 50 mins in this video to get his take on the woolly mammoth.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G0Cp7DrvNLQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There's nothing about you in my memory that sticks out as negative. Nothing. So I was really surprised to see you comment as you did.

From my point of view this thread has nothing to do with Fishy. That video has nothing to do with Fishy. But you bring her into it. Bring in something from another thread that bothered you somehow. It was not courteous to bring her up in this thread, and it wasn't courteous to link to her post.

What's wrong? (please don't read that as a challenge... it's an honest question) Why didn't your comments on that other thread satisfy whatever it was that bugged you? Why do you need to continue going after Fishy here in this post... is it because that post isn't active anymore?

Look at it this way.... someone brand new, someone who never was at the DP or PL comes happens upon this site and reads this post. Then they read the comments. They click on your link.... what are they going to read? An obviously enraged Fishy and some comments rebuking her.

How does any of that contribute to the spread of Liberty?

So what she went off. It happens to all of us. We have a fit and rant. Sometimes the ranter returns and apologizes; sometimes s/he doesn't. So what?

Like Fight Club, what happened in that thread should have remained in that thread. Continuing the fight in other threads just prolongs whatever ill feelings, frustrations, whatever were had. We shouldn't let such feeling fester at all.

As for you suggesting that I don't support Rand.... where does that come from?

'If' is the middle word in LIFE... I always think of that line when I see that word.

If I don't support Rand? Kinda assumes I don't and you know what happens when you assume.

Why do you make it sound as if it's a requirement to get angry when anyone says anything negative about Rand? What others think or feel about Rand can't touch me. I know what I think and feel and I'm confident he's the best candidate for the job. And b/c I am confident I'm not going to waste my energy on negative feelings. I'm not going to be hurt or cry or get angry about what anybody says about him. My goodness, how thin-skinned do ya gotta be to get upset about what someone says about Rand? I learned to let go of that with Ron. Neither Ron nor Rand hold pity parties for every negative comment against them, why would I engage in such behavior?

I didn't write what I did because I'm a fan. LOL I'm not that kind of person. I don't have fans and I especially don't make fans outta anyone I only know through a blog. That's too weird for me to even entertain.

I wrote what I did because, even though you strongly disagree... it was unnecessary and therfore, IMO, unkind. Fishy has absolutely nothing to do with this post. After reading your comment 601 (and all the comments in that thread) I don't see how you cannot see that there was no reason to pull Fishy in here. What she said in that other thread isn't related. It's as if you're saying that because Fishy put a medal on Santilli's chest, every thread from her comment forward that mentions Santilli will now warrant a mention of Fishy.

If you say it wasn't your intention to raise animosity towards Fishy, then I accept that. That you thought it... ironic?... that this video pops up after Fishy's so-called "gospel truth" comment about Santilli, still doesn't offer me a sound reason to bring her up and link to that other thread. Could just be me.

As you wrote in your 601:

"...we all do, have an opportunity to start with a clean slate here and it's up to us to turn it into something wonderful (and dare I say better than DP), or to fuck it up."

I want this place to be something wonderful, too. A place where compassion and forgiveness are given freely, without asking for anything in return. When a cornered dog growls and bares its teeth, why feel the need to attack? Sometimes it takes more courage to let go than to continue grabbing at someone you feel crossed the line.

That's the point I'm trying to make. If you don't see it, you don't see it. Won't make me think less of you. I harbor no ill-will towards you. I still see you as a friend of Liberty. This just may be something we can't see eye to eye on. It happens. Let's not do each other harm.
