DAILY SMEAR

Unfortunately, the DAILY PILOT is still allowing posters to smear others anonymously.

I can understand wanting to allow people to post anonymously, but since the PILOT's forums are moderated, posts that smear others should be edited out or the poster should be told to give his full and complete real name with such a post.

My guess is that the day may come when someone is smeared to the point of taking legal action. And, one of the first things that will happen in such legal action is that a subpoena duces tecum will be served demanding the full registration information on the anonymous poster(s) in question.

Here are a few more posts from the Daily Pilot with my responses in blue. I've edited out all the surplusage from the following posts. If you want to read the full posts, here's the LINK to the Daily Pilot.

"SOUNDING OFF:
Writer propagates intolerance"

" …There’s a great chasm between an avowed racist and an avowed critic.

I RESPOND: Upton, you should define what you mean by "avowed racist." It seems you don't have any idea of what words mean and you just use them to smear. Let me help you.

"Avowed" means to acknowledge openly , boldly and unashamedly.*

And, here's yet another definition of that all purpose smear word "racism"--a word that is used by lefty creeps all the time:

"Racism" is a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.*

So, putting the two definitions together, we have this: An avowed racist is someone who acknowledges openly, boldly and unashamedly that he has a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

That doesn't describe me. I've never avowed that.

I imagine, Upton, that in an earlier time and in a different place, you'd be trying to smear others by calling them witches. It's too bad that in every age we continue to have your kind of small minded bigotry with us.

Next time you try to smear someone, put your real and full name on posts. Tell everyone who you really are and why you want Costa Mesa to continue to be an illegal alien sanctuary city. Tell everyone how much money you're making off your "compassion."

Now see if you can understand what I actually do avow: DNA and those segments of DNA called genes and the chromosomes that carry them are, as far as science now knows, the primary determinants of all life that we know about and no race is inherently superior to any other race.

Is that clear enough?

To equate Millard’s well documented racial obsessions in a country that knows well the evil effects of racism....

I RESPOND: Upton, if I have an obsession it is with looking for the big answers of existence and it should be no surprise that when a human being goes looking for such answers, it will involve human beings.

Given his widely publicized racial views (his core values), Millard’s influence should be carefully watched for the sake of minorities in the community. "

I RESPOND: Upton, your ignorance is appalling and you're little more than a one trick pony. My "widely publicized racial views," in simplest terms, are that evolution is a reality and that humans are part of the process but that we aren't necessarily trapped on a conveyor belt of blind evolution as are most other living things that we are aware of. My views also include strong stands against genocide.

From what I see Millard is an intelligent man with sick views of humanity....

I RESPOND: Nope. Nothing sick about them. My views are based on science and reasonable speculation based on what we now know. My views are completely in tune with science and are always open to modification and change as science learns more.
