Is this what Ironworks has become? *sigh*

I didn't call Australians two-faced. I merely mentioned how Australians I know use typically sunny-dispositioned mannerisms as insults. It would be like me saying have a nice day while flipping you off, except more subtle.
I wasn't baiting with the breakdown of his posts. If he doesn't like the heat of serious debate, he can stay out of the kitchen at his liesure.
Besides, you have at least once attacked my character on a nonsense claim that I was 'covering my tracks' with my massive, multi-layered responses (I prefer the term bloated though, as I should have bottled the answer at least twice in that discussion) needing multiple edits. That you attack my character now like this, well it doesn't surprise me a bit.
Memnoch, I understand. The owner makes the rules, and you enforce them. I'm not apologizing to anyone though.
Davros, Hardy doesn't make any overtly pro-gun statements, nor does he contend that Moore is in favor of gun control, or make that an issue on the site, actually, he brings up a rarely repeated but very interesting insight, based on something Moore himself said: It
was a strongly anti-gun movie, but after September 11, Moore changed his mind (apparently, realizing that people are responsible for violence, and not weapons, which is exactly what I've been contending, was enough to frost his cookies well enough that he decided to go for a second bake) about the whole issue, and decided to make a different film.
For whatever reason though, he didn't change most of the existing film.
Laziness? Doubtful...
Time constraints? Possible...
Financial limitations? Just maybe...
Emotional attachment? Also possible, it is a lot of work to flush down the toilet, he might have seen it as sort of his baby and he didn't want to cast it to the other side of the wind.
Hardy did criticize stating raw numbers, not rates, which lends a false impression.
