&lt;P&gt;Your efforts to provoke and distract seem rote; they're half-hearted at best.  And you don't even bother to make a case for the questions about Ralph7 being unreasonable.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why are you unwilling to admit that you are responsible for Ralph7?

&lt;P&gt;It makes me smile :-) because honest true rational ideas hurt leftwing crazies like holy water, crosses and sunlight burns vampires.  I feel all warm, happy and tingly….&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why are Obamamaniacs and leftwing kooks so afraid of free speech? Do you all need the “Fairness Doctrine” to spread racial oppression/victimization hatred, Marxist class warfare, economic envy/destruction and Priuses?  &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I'm not feeding him; I'm calling attention to his essential dishonesty (which is why I rated his OP "recommended" and replied to his posts on other threads by linking to this one).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm asking him simple reasonable questions that he can't answer directly without diminishing his credibility, so he's acting a fool, wishfully playing for time.

Bananas have potassium, increase sexual function like watermelon, and are found on Carrabin islands, but I would never use a fruit pseudonym, but I do like boats. However, I have considered scones; ‘Sailor Scone’ combines food and seamen. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ralph is something one involuntarily does after eating too many bad bananas or when voluntarily purging too many calories thereby keeping my slim figure. If I don’t watch my figure, then you surely will not. Besides Raphael was my favorite Ninja Turtle; therefore, Ralph Super Seven is another crusader fighting for truth justice and the American way, like Island Muffin. Raphael Turtle Seven is a good name. You can use it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Black Widow would be a racist appropriation of a spider: Why do The Man call a poisonous spider black and not white? How did The Man insert AIDS into the Black Community as Obama’s belief claims? Spiders carry AIDS!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obama’s Black Liberation Theology church, have you checked out this conspiracy theory?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Because women live longer than men, are women sexist in oppressing men? Is testicular or breast cancer more sexist? &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Degs stay away; you oppress me with your racist ignorance. However, I am ambivalent because you are not interesting to me except when talking about your repressed peoples: Yes, you are all victims of racism, sexism and leftwing stupidism. Who do you hate more, trust-fund white men or corporations? Do you hate rednecks (who do not see all women as victims of male oppression), like Palin too? Whom do you oppress with your viscous stereotypes and your ethnic class warfare hatred?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Adrasateai – who are you?  Do you support Obama’s racial Marxism? If you were in room full of white men, and you wanted to run away, who would be holding you down? Do you expect to live longer or shorter than me, or to oppress or be oppressed by me?&lt;/P&gt;

I guess you don't want to confirm you are Ralph7 and invite the question of why you changed your name but neither do you want to lie (again) and say (again) that you are not responsible for perpetrating Ralph7, because you know that this lie would be easily exposed by comparing Island Muffin's posts to Ralph7's.&lt;/P&gt;
