One of the few issues you really delved into was one on sound money or the gold standard.

No, I dont have you confused with somebody else. You were absolutely certain it could not work, but you were woefully unarmed with any sort of factual information or even a basic conceptual understanding of monetary systems past or present. Your passion on the subject despite the ignorance you demonstrated would suggest to me that is the source of your fear, and would explain everything you've said/done since re: Paul.

<<And, fwiw, I doubt you would cop to "annoyance" as a motivation for anything unless it was an act of misdirection on your part. >>

Why? You don't know me, or you would know that I do a lot of things in order to reduce annoyance, because lots of things annoy me. This subject isn't particularly special in that regard.

<<One of the few issues you really delved into was one on sound money or the gold standard.>>

Oh, that. Yeah, I think the gold standard is quite overrated. That's an unrelated subject however.

<<You were absolutely certain it could not work>>

I never once claimed that a gold standard "could not work," ever.

<<but you were woefully unarmed with any sort of factual information or even a basic conceptual understanding of monetary systems>>

At least I read what I was responding to, which seems more than one can say of you. Maybe in your mind you came across as informed and intelligent though, I dunno, you obviously get something out of these silly ad homs.

<<Your passion on the subject despite the ignorance you demonstrated would suggest to me that is the source of your fear, and would explain everything you've said/done since re: Paul.>>

Yes yes, I'm a neocon capitalist shill. How'd you guess? damn, you're like an investigative journalist, always getting to the heart of every issue. This couldn't possibly be about racism! That's just what THEY want you to believe!
