No shit, Sherlock. But what is critical is you keep telling us the right is
that of some group OTHER than the people. The language doesn't support your

I did, and the right is still stated to be that of the people....not the
militia, not the state, not the State militia, but the people.

Sure.
I'm happy to take you back to grade school, since apparently you didn't
learn anything there.
A nominative absolute is a noun phrase that begins or ends a sentence. The
phrase has no grammatical connection with the rest of the sentence. Most
nominative absolutes contain a participle or participial phrase which
modifies the noun or pronoun.
http://www.englishplus.com/grammar/00000390.htm
The Nominative Absolute Construction is a construction in which the
participle stands in predicative relation to a noun in the Common Case or a
pronoun in the Nominative Case; the noun or pronoun is not the subject of
the sentence.
http://englishstandarts.blogspot.com/2013/10/nominative-absolute-construction.html
So, no grammatical connection and the noun or pronoun of the nominative
absolute is not the subject of the sentence.
Therefore, neither the well regulated militia nor the free state is the
subject of the 2nd Amendment, and lacking a grammatical connection can not
impose any conditions, limitations, restrictions, or such upon the main
clause, since the nominative absolute is a free standing clause.
In this case what the nominative absolute does is to convey an opinion which
explains one reason for why the main clause is important.
For one can not have a well regulated militia with which to defend the free
state without a generally armed populous from which to form such a militia
in times of need. Therefore, to insure that such a militia can be formed in
times of need the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed.

I'm regularly backing up what I say, you on the other hand seem to have a
single solitary to a flawed opinion piece which makes many assertions but
fails to provide any support for those assertions.
But luckily your opinion doesn't really matter because virtually everyone
else, including SCOTUS, can see the protected right of individuals to keep
and bear arms.
So, if you expect to make a change, you're going to need to do a lot better
than the mistaken opinion you keep citing. Heck, you might even take time to
read the DC vs Heller decision since SCOTUS took quite a lot of time to
explain exactly how the Court reached it's conclusions and includes a
multitude of supporting citations for the material presented. Indeed, your
entire argument has been addressed and refute by the Court.
Indeed let's pull a few phrases out from that decision for your
enlightenment and education....which you will probably ignore.
*************************************************************************************
"This contrasts markedly with the phrase βthe militiaβ in the prefatory
clause. As we will describe below, the βmilitiaβ in colonial America
consisted of a subset of βthe peopleββthose who were male, able bodied, and
within a certain age range. Reading the Second Amendment as protecting only
the right to βkeep and bear Armsβ in an organized militia therefore fits
poorly with the operative clauseβs description of the holder of that right
as βthe people.β"
***********************************************************************************
"Before addressing the verbs βkeepβ and βbear,β we interpret their object:
βArms.β The 18th-century meaning is no different from the meaning today. The
1773 edition of Samuel Johnsonβs dictionary defined βarmsβ as βweapons of
offence, or armour of defence.β 1 Dictionary of the English Language 107
(4th ed.) (hereinafter Johnson). Timothy Cunninghamβs important 1771 legal
dictionary defined βarmsβ as βany thing that a man wears for his defence, or
takes into his hands, or useth in wrath to cast at or strike another.β 1 A
New and Complete Law Dictionary (1771); see also N. Webster, American
Dictionary of the English Language (1828) (reprinted 1989) (hereinafter
Webster) (similar).
The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically
designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity. For
instance, Cunninghamβs legal dictionary gave as an example of usage:
βServants and labourers shall use bows and arrows on Sundays, &c. and not
bear other arms.β See also, e.g., An Act for the trial of Negroes, 1797 Del.
Laws ch. XLIII, Β§6, p. 104, in 1 First Laws of the State of Delaware 102,
104 (J. Cushing ed. 1981 (pt. 1)); see generally State v. Duke, 42Tex. 455,
458 (1874) (citing decisions of state courts construing βarmsβ). Although
one founding-era thesaurus limited βarmsβ (as opposed to βweaponsβ) to
βinstruments of offence generally made use of in war,β even that source
stated that all firearms constituted βarms.β 1 J. Trusler, The Distinction
Between Words Esteemed Synonymous in the English Language37 (1794) (emphasis
added).
Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those
arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment
. We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First
Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American
Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997) , and the Fourth Amendment
applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S.
27, 35β36 (2001) , the Second Amendment extends, prima facie,to all
instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in
existence at the time of the founding.
We turn to the phrases βkeep armsβ and βbear arms.β Johnson defined
βkeepβ as, most relevantly, β[t]o retain; not to lose,β and β[t]o have in
custody.β Johnson 1095. Webster defined it as β[t]o hold; to retain in oneβs
power or possession.β No party has apprised us of an idiomatic meaning of
βkeep Arms.β Thus, the most natural reading of βkeep Armsβ in the Second
Amendment is to βhave weapons.β
The phrase βkeep armsβ was not prevalent in the written documents of the
founding period that we have found, but there are a few examples, all of
which favor viewing the right to βkeep Armsβ as an individual right
unconnected with militia service. William Blackstone, for example, wrote
that Catholics convicted of not attending service in the Church of England
suffered certain penalties, one of which was that they were not permitted to
βkeep arms in their houses.β 4 Commentaries on the Laws of England 55 (1769)
(hereinafter Blackstone); see also 1 W. & M., c. 15, Β§4, in 3 Eng. Stat. at
Large 422 (1689) (β[N]o Papist β¦ shall or may have or keep in his House β¦
any Arms β¦ β); 1 Hawkins, Treatise on the Pleas of the Crown 26 (1771)
(similar). Petitioners point to militia laws of the founding period that
required militia members to βkeepβ arms in connection with militia service,
and they conclude from this that the phrase βkeep Armsβ has a
militia-related connotation. See Brief for Petitioners 16β17 (citing laws of
Delaware, New Jersey, and Virginia). This is rather like saying that, since
there are many statutes that authorize aggrieved employees to βfile
complaintsβ with federal agencies, the phrase βfile complaintsβ has an
employment-related connotation. βKeep armsβ was simply a common way of
referring to possessing arms, for militiamen and everyone else.7
At the time of the founding, as now, to βbearβ meant to βcarry.β See Johnson
161; Webster; T. Sheridan, A Complete Dictionary of the English Language
(1796); 2 Oxford English Dictionary 20 (2d ed. 1989) (hereinafter Oxford).
When used with βarms,β however, the term has a meaning that refers to
carrying for a particular purposeβconfrontation. In Muscarello v. United
States, 524 U. S. 125 (1998) , in the course of analyzing the meaning of
βcarries a firearmβ in a federal criminal statute, Justice Ginsburg wrote
that β[s]urely a most familiar meaning is, as the Constitutionβs Second
Amendment β¦ indicate[s]: βwear, bear, or carry β¦ upon the person or in the
clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose β¦ of being armed and ready for
offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person.β β
Id., at 143 (dissenting opinion) (quoting Blackβs Law Dictionary 214 (6th
ed. 1998)). We think that Justice Ginsburg accurately captured the natural
meaning of βbear arms.β Although the phrase implies that the carrying of the
weapon is for the purpose of βoffensive or defensive action,β it in no way
connotes participation in a structured military organization."

I doubt it. So back to the topic: * The meaning / usage of "bear arms" (pretty much exclusively for "war, soldiering or organized, armed action". * Their were laws restricting firearms at the start of the country which were never, as far as I can find, challenged on second amendment grounds. This makes it a hard sale to say they were against the second amendment. * Most (though not all) relevant scholars have supported the states rights view. * We should not allow the NRA, a group that benefits from mass shootings and terrorism, to largely control our gun laws. * We clearly do have, have had, and should have, limits on arms... what one could call "infringements". * We should do more research on gun deaths and injuries, as we do with vehicles, pools, food, and pretty much everything else that is tied to death and injuries. * I back evidence-based policies. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

Ah, you mean like with this guy:

That thing won't even acknowledge that virtual desktops are a very
nice feature. It claims that they require "too much configuration".
You see, they require that you decide how to organize things on the
desktops.
In other words, in order to enjoy the benefit of a tool, you must
actually use the tool.
Sheesh.

A simple "no" would have done.
Seriously, you are merely pretending that if you say A and then I
explain why I think A is incorrect, and offer evidence, that repeating A
will somehow show support for your view.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.
They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

That's exactly what you're doing. Scout offered a stinging rebuttal to your claims, and all you can do is pretend you've already covered it and restate your claims. You're a fraud.

I have found that the O.P. is unreliable in quoting. A few years ago,
he edited one of my postings making significant semantic changes and
then replied to the edited version. The least he could do is to write
his own stuff.
The NRA's quotes are all taken completely out of context. For
example, here is an article I wrote on Federalist #46 (fed-46). Now,
fed-46 just isn't that long of a document and they really shouldn't
take one sentence out of the middle.
**** Previously published material
One reads the Federalist today to gain an insight into the motivations
of the men most instrumental in drafting the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights. In the Federalist, the authors are arguing in favor of the
ratification of the Constitution of 1787; the essays were written
between the writing of the constitution and the first ten amendments
primarily as the collaborative effort of James Madison and Alexander
Hamilton. Federalist 46 is important in that its author is discussing
the militia explicitly as defined in article six of the United States
Document of Confederation. Federalist 35 had recently been published
wherein Mr. Hamilton used the exact words: "well regulated militia".
(When the Federalist was bound and published as a book, #35 was
renumbered as #29.)
Dominating the debate was the locus of power. Would this be with the
states or the federal government? Did the federal government have the
power to levy taxes? And, not least, would the armed forces be
controlled by the states or by the federal government? The latter is
the topic of the second amendment. No place in the discussion is the
individual right to self defense even mentioned; no place is it ever
suggested that "the people" have some right to rise up and overthrow
the constitutional government... as if one would need constitutional
authority to take up arms against the constitution! The idea of
"bearing arms" was never mentioned in any context except the militia.
For your reading pleasure, here is the full text of Federalist No. 46
with some paragraph breaks added.
Federalist No. 46 (James Madison writing; published 1/ 29/1788)
The only refuge left for those who prophesy the downfall
of the State governments is the visionary supposition that the federal
government may previously accumulate a military force for the projects
of ambition. The reasonings contained in these papers must have been
employed to little purpose indeed, if it could be necessary now to
disprove the reality of this danger. That the people and the States
should, for a sufficient period of time, elect an uninterrupted
succession of men ready to betray both; that the traitors should,
throughout this period, uniformly and systematically pursue some fixed
plan for the extension of the military establishment; that the
governments and the people of the States should silently and patiently
behold the gathering storm, and continue to supply the materials,
until it should be prepared to burst on their own heads, must appear
to every one more like the incoherent dreams of a delirious jealousy,
or the misjudged exaggerations of a counterfeit zeal, than like the
sober apprehensions of genuine patriotism.
Extravagant as the supposition is, let it however be
made. Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the
country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the
federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that
the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to
repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best
computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not
exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one
twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion
would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than
twenty-five or thirty thousand men.
To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near
half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men
chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and
united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and
confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus
circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular
troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful
resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most
inclined to deny the possibility of it.
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the
Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the
existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are
attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a
barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than
any which a simple government of any form can admit of.
Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of
Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear,
the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is
not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake
off their yokes.
But were the people to possess the additional advantages
of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the
national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed
out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them
and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance,
that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily
overturned in spite of the legions which surround it. Let us not
insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion,
that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would
be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power
would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors.

This prefatory paragraph gives the reader no useful information;
essentially, Mr. Madison is asserting that his following content is
intuitively obvious. In the writing of the time, this tactic was
common.
>That the people and the States should, for a sufficient period of time,

>the traitors should, throughout this period, uniformly and systematically

In this somewhat long sentence, Mr. Madison postulates the idea that
it would take "an uninterrupted succession of men" to subvert the
constitutional protections. Basically, the author is arguing that he
believes this could not possibly happen and that anyone who believes
it could isn't a "genuine patriot" but, instead, is a person
manifesting "the incoherent dreams of a delirious jealousy, or the
misjudged exaggerations of a counterfeit zeal". Here, the reader
learns exactly how Mr. Madison perceives what he terms "the military
establishment"; in the next sentence, he will call it the "regular
army"; elsewhere, he disparagingly refers to a "standing army".
The timeline here (1788) is that what was known as the "Philadelphia
Mutiny" by regular soldiers mustering out of the army who marched on
the capitol demanding their back pay would have been in Mr. Madison's
recent memory; therein, Mr. Madison demanded that the governor of
Pennsylvania call out the state militia to put them down and the
governor did so. Herein, the author is arguing for the ratification
of the 1787 constitutional convention's product; the proposal and
discussion of any "bill of rights" is still several years in the
future. The constitutional document in effect at the time of this
writing was the Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781; thus,
when Mr. Madison will later speak of a "militia", he refers to the
definition given in Article Six of this document which reads in part:
"[Every] State shall always keep up a well-regulated and disciplined
militia, sufficiently armed and accoutered, and shall provide and
constantly have ready for use, in public stores, a due number of filed
pieces and tents, and a proper quantity of arms, ammunition and camp
equipage."
One other important point that the contemporary reader should note is
that the Articles of Confederation were superseded and augmented by
the Constitution of 1787, but never repealed; therefore, the 1781
definition of a militia remains in effect because the Constitution of
1787 never redefined that term.
> Extravagant as the supposition is, let it however be

>federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that

>repel the danger.
Here, Mr. Madison is clearly writing that the source of the threat, as
he sees it, is a "regular army"; the "State governments" will control
the militia as defined under article six of the Document of
Confederation (1781).
>The highest number to which, according to the best
>computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not

"[According] to the best computation..." would be rendered today as:
"Studies have shown...". Well, studies have shown that any idea
introduced by the phrase: "Studies have shown..." should be ignored.
We do not know to whose "best computation" Mr. Madison refers...
whatever. An important point to note here is that this represents Mr.
Madison's the first recorded use of the term: "to bear arms" and it is
obviously used in a military context; further, the context is given
previously in the same sentence. "To bear arms" is and always has
been a military term!
>This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than
>twenty-five or thirty thousand men.
Yes, if Mr. Madison's 1:25 premise held, then thus would be the 1788
numbers; it's probably not an unreasonable number.
> To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near
>half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men
>chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and
>united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and

This sentence is important because it represents Mr. Madison's first
use of the term: "a militia". Federalist #35 had been published in
the prior weeks. (Federalist #35 was renumbered to #29 when the
documents were compiled and bound.) In Fed. #35, Alexander Hamilton
used the term: "Well regulated militia" as it was defined in Article
Six of the Document of Confederation; Mr. Madison did not propose a
redefinition. The other important point is that this "militia" is
"united and conducted by [state] governments".
Soon, Mr. Madison would become *very* aware of his error of faith in
the militia when he would become the only sitting U.S. President to
command troops in the field as he tried to hold the bridge at
Bladensburg, MD and his vaunted militia panicked and ran, sight
unseen, before the advancing English army; James Madison, the fourth
president of the United States, was forced to run through the streets
of Washington DC with the "debased subjects of arbitrary power" right
behind him... the militia weren't defeated; they broke and ran before
the enemy even came into sight; they were utterly humiliated.
So much for the militia.
>It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever
>be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops.
Yeah, right! History will not be kind.
>Those who are best acquainted with the last successful

>inclined to deny the possibility of it.
Yeah, right again!

.
Since Mr. Madison would later write the second amendment, this is the
sentence most often cited by the apologists for guns; however, the
author obviously speaks of the militia; specifically: "the existence
of [state] governments, to which the people are attached, and by which
the militia officers are appointed..." Mr. Madison never uses the
idea of armed citizens outside of the explicit context of the state
militia.
>Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of
>Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear,
>the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is
>not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake

Any time James Madison wrote disparagingly of a "kingdom of Europe",
he always meant England; that was the only country who could have
possibly landed a military force on the American continent and who,
twenty-six years later during his presidency, would do so with
devastating effect as they marched unopposed into Washington DC,
looted the White House, and burned the public buildings.
> But were the people to possess the additional advantages

>and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance,

Here, the author's meaning is clear; the states control their
respective militias: "[state] governments [...] who could collect the
national will and direct the national force [...] officers appointed
out of the militia, by [the state] governments, and attached both to
them and to the militia..." The author does *not* mean an armed mob.
>Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion,
>that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would
>be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power
>would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors.
Again, Mr. Madison speaks of England; both Madison and Jefferson were
much further aligned with France than with England; Alexander Hamilton
(the author of Federalist 29) leaned toward the English perspective
and never spoke of "the debased subjects of arbitrary power".
**********
Nations are like humans in that they rise, flourish, and,
subsequently, die. What usually happens when a democracy dies is that
the country becomes ready for a dictator... then, one shows up and is
hailed as a popular savior; in this case, a militia is most often used
against a people instead of for them. Contrary to popular myth,
demagogues do *not* try to control the guns; they go after the media
as purveyors of "fake news" first, taking control under the guise of
disseminating the truth.
****************
About two years later, Mr. Madison would write: "A well regulated
Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." and, for
some unfathomable reason, many argue that the writer didn't really
mean to say "A well regulated Militia..."; what he meant was a "well
functioning" militia; like a clock that keeps good time[?] Actually,
he meant exactly what he wrote. He meant the well regulated militia
as opposed to a standing army. This differentiation is thematic in
the writings of James Madison until his traumatic experience in 1814.
What the second amendment did was to codify local control of the
militia. After the US militia were thoroughly humiliated in the War
of 1812, the United States moved to a standing army and the second
amendment became an eighteenth century legislative artifact.
One reads the Federalist today to gain an insight into the motivations
of the men most instrumental in drafting the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights. In the Federalist, the authors are arguing in favor of the
ratification of the Constitution of 1787; the essays were written

Soon, Mr. Madison would become *very* aware of his error of faith in
the militia when he would become the only sitting U.S. President to
command troops in the field as he tried to hold the bridge at
Bladensburg, MD and his vaunted militia panicked and ran, sight
unseen, before the advancing English army; James Madison, the fourth
president of the United States, was forced to run through the streets
of Washington DC with the "debased subjects of arbitrary power" right
behind him... the militia weren't defeated; they broke and ran before
the enemy even came into sight; they were utterly humiliated.
So much for the militia.

.
Since Mr. Madison would later write the second amendment, this is the
sentence most often cited by the apologists for guns; however, the
author obviously speaks of the militia; specifically: "the existence
of [state] governments, to which the people are attached, and by which
the militia officers are appointed..." Mr. Madison never uses the
idea of armed citizens outside of the explicit context of the state
militia.
>Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of

>the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is

Any time James Madison wrote disparagingly of a "kingdom of Europe",
he always meant England; that was the only country who could have
possibly landed a military force on the American continent and who,
twenty-six years later during his presidency, would do so with
devastating effect as they marched unopposed into Washington DC,
looted the White House, and burned the public buildings.
> But were the people to possess the additional advantages
>of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the

>and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance,
>that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily
>overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.
Here, the author's meaning is clear; the states control their
respective militias: "[state] governments [...] who could collect the
national will and direct the national force [...] officers appointed
out of the militia, by [the state] governments, and attached both to
them and to the militia..." The author does *not* mean an armed mob.
>Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion,
>that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would
>be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power
>would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors.
Again, Mr. Madison speaks of England; both Madison and Jefferson were
much further aligned with France than with England; Alexander Hamilton
(the author of Federalist 29) leaned toward the English perspective
and never spoke of "the debased subjects of arbitrary power".
**********
Nations are like humans in that they rise, flourish, and,
subsequently, die. What usually happens when a democracy dies is that
the country becomes ready for a dictator... then, one shows up and is
hailed as a popular savior; in this case, a militia is most often used
against a people instead of for them. Contrary to popular myth,
demagogues do *not* try to control the guns; they go after the media
as purveyors of "fake news" first, taking control under the guise of
disseminating the truth.
****************
About two years later, Mr. Madison would write: "A well regulated
Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." and, for
some unfathomable reason, many argue that the writer didn't really
mean to say "A well regulated Militia..."; what he meant was a "well
functioning" militia; like a clock that keeps good time[?] Actually,
he meant exactly what he wrote. He meant the well regulated militia
as opposed to a standing army. This differentiation is thematic in
the writings of James Madison until his traumatic experience in 1814.
What the second amendment did was to codify local control of the
militia. After the US militia were thoroughly humiliated in the War
of 1812, the United States moved to a standing army and the second
amendment became an eighteenth century legislative artifact.

And what did Jonas Eklundh Communication have to say about this long list of "convenient friends" who popped up at just the right moment? Most of the time he would try to push the advocates to trust they're real people who just happened to have unexplained agreement with him. Doesn't pass the laugh test. Sandman trolls Jonas Eklundh Communication. Here is a list of names Jonas Eklundh has admitted he attributes to Jonas Eklundh Communication "Cactus Pete", "Donald", "Donald Miller", "Horace McSwain", "Hymen", "meat", "Mike Weaver", "Modena IV Drid", "Omar Murad Asfour", "Rhino Plastee", "Soapy", "SopwithCamel", "Sunny Day", "Takuya Saitoh", "The Letter Q", "tmelmosfire", "zevon". And the herd is stupid enough to believe him. I am not going to pretend Snit did not aid me on encryption and I am thankful for his advice. Jonas Eklundh Communication has Snit to follow and could start to appear like he grew a brain from now on... as always he missed that opportunity when it mattered ;) Now let us see knows PHP, is an avid scripter, has stolen Snit's account, has motive and is a huge whining toddler who, when he backs himself into a corner, posts endless nonsense even when he's not flooding... AND... who endeavors to blame everything he is doing on "Snit" and has for years? Until Jonas Eklundh Communication offers up his 'better' Mac quick fix for appraisal, there is no competition, just insane assertions. Snit owns Jonas Eklundh Communication in every way possible. He lies that he uses Linux, while of course he never saw it on bare metal and really played with it. -- Curious how these posts are made? Email: mr@sandman.net

Here are some of the scripted posts from Jonas Eklundh... the script adds a nonsense or irrelevant insult or accusation after most sentences and adds numbers to the text so he can better track his trolling: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/RZtEyvJr8HI/VcEqOk2qCgAJ> or <https://goo.gl/67NLfr>. You can see a run of three scripted flood posts from his primary account. From: Sandman <mr@sandman.net> Message-ID: <sandman-b7df8761d3b6831e96d5976e9e67f379@individual.net> X-Trace: individual.net +MPBYFbnugFd2iPraU5I9ABV/5ZlNHtqj79Ij19mAYCfL5sHI= User-Agent: Sandmania 2.0 He also has them elsewhere, here are some examples: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/Xetqyi1T0F0/cvoqp3eqCgAJ> OR <https://goo.gl/jy0rsr>. <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/10d0Emx_ABk/eN0r1_epCgAJ> OR <https://goo.gl/Rkz0PO>. On that one he has a run of two. And a longer and clearly scripted, content-free flood post: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/2WS3xlecnw8/lizfGLOnCgAJ> OR <https://goo.gl/t7cTHd>. And even more! <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/cYutxNP1hWc/KZikieXECgAJ> OR <https://goo.gl/Z6G7Ic> <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.linux.advocacy/RZtEyvJr8HI/6sJfxaDECgAJ> OR <https://goo.gl/mTXlFt> Lots more but that is enough to prove the point multiple times over. Sandman has been flooding not just with his Google accounts but with his standard account. ALL of those come from the same source I listed above and it is Sandman's standard account. Jonas Eklundh: busted. -- Do not click this link!!! https://youtu.be/VxLiH-x0aeY Jonas Eklundh

The nonsense we are told now is just insane. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
