Yes I do. It's just that I don't consider namecalling and
accusations to be convincing arguments, and I tend to ignore
the rest of any post that contains namecalling and accusations,
based on long experience of such posts rarely having any actual
content.

Perhaps, but repeating the same argument again and again and
ignoring repeated responses to it is an ineffective way to prove
it. You might try reasoning and evidence; I predict better results.

Case in point. Another post or two from you that contains personal
attacks rather than rational arguments will result in you being
killfiled for being boring. Please note that personal attacks are
boring whether they are true or false.

out why no one else sees their actions as heroic."
