I don't blame him for blocking, or wanting to block, you. If I am to be perfectly candid. I think you offer nothing of value to this site. Clearly, all you want to do is constantly push your anti-Bush agenda (so much so that I think you even embarrass those who are philosophically on your side), and berate and belittle those who have the audacity to disagree with Mr. College Professor with a Master's Degree. Hopefully, as the season rolls around you will remember why this site primarily exists; to discuss the Washington Redskins. But I find it curious that you've started nearly 40 threads on multiple Redskins message boards and only two had anything to do with the Redskins.
Admittedly, I am a Republican (Moderate Republican I suppose) but I can respect healthy debate with the Mattyk's, SGG's, Dmek's, and 12thMan's of the world. Sure it can get heated and I get annoyed by what they say sometimes. A lot of times in Dmek's case (no offense D) but at least I know they want to discuss, not preach. I can't say the same for you. But this has nothing to do with your views. It's the arrogance behind the views. You're like a liberal Ann Coulter
I don't know you personally obviously, nor do I care to quite frankly. Of course, many others here feel the same I'm sure. Just as I'm sure there are those who feel that way about me. I'd like to think though that if I stopped posting on this site, something of value would be lost. I understand that I do post a lot of nonsensical stuff (and especially in the off-season) but I think that's balanced by compelling posts and threads (not to toot my own horn too loudly). Again, I can't say the same for you.
What's worse is that, as a professor you're seemingly influencing the minds of tomorrow. I can only hope that those students are smart enough to challenge you (whether to confirm you're right or prove that you're wrong), and that you're enough of a professor to allow them to challenge you.

I have higher degrees than Master's Degrees and teach graduate students. Most of them already have Master's Degrees and are too smart for me to challenge most of the time. I'm 63 and have written a number of books and have over a thousand other publications, all of which I have had to research. I basically guide others in researching and writing their own books and take matters of the mind very seriously.
I'm not writing about football now because there's nothing new going on in football, Right now, we have the untimely deaths of my ex-students and could-be students and others in Iraq, for all the wrong reasons. My method of trying to combat this is to challenge ignorance, propaganda, assumptions, phony data, and expose the lies and myths that currently infect our culture and cause death, as well as endanger our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
This particular thead has been littered by data that is not only utterly garbage but dangerous. It's my duty to challenge it.
