Maybe it's not for you to understand. Deal with it. Can your ego take 
the whacks? With a bat, or with an axe? Or even face brass tacks? You 
can do it, if you try!

You seem to be already on a crusade, like Mike Weaver, to eliminate 
unacceptable politics - based on your past comments.

Thus the above to me looks like justification, not explanation.

Then why are you focusing on Joyce? ;)

There's hierarchy everywhere. I got "ganged up on" because I offended 
some community standards of complacency.

Here comes the threat!

What anti-Semitic web pages have been posted?

These categories... so absolute, so binding!

I come to discuss politics, but only with those with the maturity to 
handle disagreement.

Where did I say that? 

Read again:
"And consistent with what I've said all along."

Territorialism, and impotent threats of violence. You really do know 
how to boot it, don't you?
