Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

because I tired of your constant battles
with other posters over perceived insults. You should ask
yourself why you so often get into flame wars with other
posters. You often do post on-topic posts, which I've found
informative, but more often than not of late your posts have
devolved into prickly attacks against what you deem personal
attacks against you. It became tiresome to me.
You don't have to explain your actions.
As to your gratuitous comments, your perception is NOT
mine; nor are you in my position to second guess anything.
Your opinions and perceptions are yours, NOT necessarily
facts !
I didn't think I asked/expected you to like me, my style,
or participate in my battles with other posters (including
with you sometime ago).
I fight my own battles, unassisted and on my choosing. You
are NOT required to watch, or participate in my controversies.
And, I'm NOT here to please you or any one else, either.

"set you to "Ignore" because I tired of your constant
battles with other posters over perceived insults."
You are completely ignoring the overwhelming issue on this
Forum which is R Showalter's amazing and incredible of abuse
of the Forum which Cantabb is trying to address...it has
nothing to do with insults, what are you talking about...?

He just felt obliged to make some gratuitous comments, and
offer an explanation for his preferences that NO body had even
asked for, or much less was interested in !
Then, he whines about the response he receives to such
self-serving actions and personal opinions [proffered as some
thing worth more than that].
Nothing unusual, bluestar23 !

Here at MD we post what we want, when want.
Mr.wr -I have seen showalter in person-cooper simply stated
the reason for putting MWCBN on ignore.
He gave a reasonable explanation.
Now me, I ignore you, because you're a fi.

"Here at MD we post what we want, when want."
Normally this is fine...but the statement is no longer
adequate in face of rshow55, sorry. His abuseful hijacking of
this Forum (for his own separate Purposes) makes it
unfortunately necessary to deal with the phenomenon of
Showalter....in a direct manner....

Whatever "Mr. wr" chose to do or why he saw showalter is
his business. I don't have to know; the forum does NOT need to
know.
Why he chose to ignore "MWCBN" is his preference --
whatever you mean by this juvenile attempt at acronym.
Same with YOU.
No explanation was required from "Mr.Wr" or from you
[bbbuck]; No one even asked you two to explain anything.
Why you and "Mr wr" felt so compelled to explain something
that was NOT asked for or required --- NOT the least of my
concerns !
