> Right, coming from someone whose debating skills amount to putting words into another person's mouth (or writing)

I called it as I read it. You pointed it out as something commendable that he preyed on the strong rather than the weak. I responded that preying is never commendable, and that he prayed on plenty of weak people. So far you've done nothing to explain your position to me, except to throw profanities.

> Now, just where did you read about "the police bust into his home .." Seriously, where did you get that?

I didn't, but extrapolated it from the the way Dan was apprehended (by a SWAT team one time, though at no point is it mentioned that anyone considered him even remotely dangerous). I should have added "it's likely that ..". Fantasy? Perhaps - but what do you think happens to a security-systems-installer who's named as the perpetrator behind a multi-$100.000 hoist?

I used profanity?

What?

Serious question: are you drinking right now?

> I used profanity? What?

You called my post "a slew of crap". If that doesn't qualify as profanity, you still did nothing to rectify my apparent misrepresentation of your original post.

> Serious question: are you drinking right now?

No.

crap is a slang word, not profanity. There is a difference.

My initial post is clear, and I elaborated upon it once already. If you can't understand it, that is your problem.
