    Bull ****. And you know it. You have never shown a single instance of me doing that, you have only continued to say it. Your fake ass offense is on behalf of a freaking politician's kid, whom I'm pretty sure I didn't even mention until after your false allegations started. My sensitivity is due to a family member. So **** you again.

    Report away, troll.

    The only one that has a problem with Batman being here is you. The rest of us can debate with him rationally.

    Really? Where? Did I miss it?

    This is really uncalled for. You need to provide one...just ONE example of anything he has said that indicates that he has disdain for special needs children. I cannot recall any. He has disdain for people that use their special needs children for a photo op for political gain. That is FAR from having disdain for a special needs child.

    As I have reported yours.

    Good bye...ciao...adios and aloha.

    This thread has been added to the list of threads where people present evidence backed arguments to basso and he runs away.

    basso any substance on the values or lack there of regarding tort reform came from other people in the thread, and none from you.

    here is the list which is admittedly only partial. It includes the post from the thread that shows you have yet to provide one example of batman making fun of special needs children.

    The urls in your links are broken (missing middle ".php?p=..."s), but really, the 404s are about as informative as the intended posts. No real need to fix them. I'm pretty sure everyone understands the point.

    If Texas with tort reform isn't seeing its health care prices lowered compared to states with similar demographics without tort reform I would say that is fairly compelling evidence that tort reform hasn't lowered prices.

    Wrong. Tort reform was enacted. Ask any med mal defense attorney that is worried about their job because very few people can find a lawyer to take their case even if it is meritorious. The fees generated by a settlement no longer justify the time expenditure required to obtain the settlement.

    Besides, the provisions of Prop 12 are on the books and enforced. Can you provide evidence that Prop 12 was passed and not enacted?

    Tort reform has been enacted in a number of places, and hasn't worked in any of them at lowering health care prices.

    Lousy dyslexia. I meant 'evidence that tort reform hasn't lowered prices.'

    Oh...sorry about that. I agree. The beneficiary of tort reform (more accurately tort deform) is the insurance industry.

    I went to a CLE right after tort reform was passed through the legislature. I wish I still had those materials from that seminar, because the speaker showed how the insurance industry KNEW that litigation was a tiny, tiny part of your health insurance bill...and how they knew it wouldn't drive down costs...but they sold it that way, and people bought it hook, line and sinker.

    I can't imagine anyone in Texas arguing FOR tort reform in the wake of all that....unless they just had no clue about it at all.

    Batman Jones flies off the handle more than he should. He gets emotionally involved in things that probably aren't worth getting worked up about. However, I consider what basso and Trader Jorge do to be 100 times worse.

    They goad people into getting angry by saying some of the most ridiculous and idiotic things imaginable. When people confront them about it they cry wolf and say, "That's not what I meant!" or "I didn't do anything wrong."

    These are the guys who start a fight in a football game but then point out the guy who retaliates to the ref so that guy gets flagged. They are the guys in a bar who mess with some guy until he snaps and takes a swing at them only for them to scream for the bouncers who toss the guy on the street.

    In the case of the BBS, they poke and they prod and they subtly insult - digging into some really ugly places to do it like including stabbing open wounds the know are sensitive to the other person - and then when the person loses it, they go crying to the moderator as per usual.

    I, personally, will not punish someone for letting his emotions get the best of him in a situation where shutting off the computer is probably the wiser thing to do.

    Conversely, I will not reward sniveling whiners who can't take the heat when they are the one's that turned on the oven.

    Is this where Basso disappears?

    It appears so. Not surprising. It is right on time.

    Of course that statement also applies to at least half of us.

    You're too kind. I'm sure I'm the worst offender in that way. I will try to do better.

    Let's all look and decide who the real little baby is.
    exchange summary:

    In my opinion this is sniveling cowardice at it's finest.

    basso accuses batman of something that he has been shown to not be guilty of, and basso never shows evidence to back up his accusation, and does nothing to counter the evidence to the contrary.

    batman slams basso for making the same false accusation. Rather than finally show one piece of evidence that shows batman made fun of special needs children basso turns tattle tell and runs away.

    Grow a pair and handle your own problems, son.

    Ref, if there wasn't a requirement to spread enough rep, before giving you more, you'd have a million points. I try and rep almost every post you make.
