But I do wonder why you're bringing this guy into the conversation. Isn't the topic about some guy named Ackerman allegedly sending a letter to Bob Iger, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, who owns the ABC television network. What does this Penn guy have to do with it? - Peter

My bad. Here is what I was responding to (post #26175 by hclasvegas) and I attached it to the wrong thread.

We are witnessing a complete failure of both American diplomacy and deterrence in the Mideast.
The Houthis just launched a hypersonic missile against Tel Aviv.
Hamas, emboldened by US waffling, refused to accept any US deals. Hezbollah refused to stop sending what is now 100 rockets a day from Lebanon.
And Israel is left to fight a three front war directed by an oil-enriched Iran.

Finally, there is this,

If you want to earn my respect, you will use the name I use for myself. And that is Peter, not Pete. I will afford you the same courtesy going forward, using Mike unless you say otherwise.

I find it amusing that you care so much about what some irrelevant, unknown poster on some obscure platform in the backwater of the internet uses as your name. It not like I was using pejorative terms like others on your side reliably do. When you went through your mikey phase, I noticed but complaining about it never occurred to me. I guess I am secure enough to not care.

I am dismissive of others calling me a cultist or enjoy being laughed at, etc just as I am dismissive of your use the endearing term, "mikey". It really just does not matter. I suggest you trying to adopt a little tolerance and chill, be like mikey.

All that aside, I enjoy bantering with you and many of the other board liberals, the banter is usually entertaining and sometimes it exposes me to new information or of alternate analyses of events of the day.

So Peter, I will try to do better because that is just the type of guy I am, not because I am making a futile attempt to gain your respect. Peace.
