Are you doing this in purpose, Jongsstraw??? Or are you really that dense?

Because apparently, it's OK for YOU (and all conservatives) to spout invective, but then your feelings get hurt when someone returns the favor. Who are you, exactly, to be calling for civility? And why should we listen to anything you have to say, seeing as you appear to have the insight of a fruitfly on the topic?

Ditto to you, Wulf. Seeing the mote in your brother's eye but not the log in your own.

When you guys start showing some respect - or at least not breath-taking hypocrisy- I'll feel like I can take you more seriously on the topic. As for now, I think Democrats and liberals in general need to start being MORE confrontational, not less. And we should have started about 10 years ago. Too bad libruls didn't show up at Bush speeches openly carrying weapons and threatening his life, eh? Maybe if we had started calling you guys knuckle-dragging Neandertals earlier, that smack upside the head would have dented your bad behavior. Because being nice and bipartisan- at least on the national scene- doesn't seem to have gotten anywhere.

Relax Signy. I never called for RWED civility, I just wrote about civility in general. Sorry if you felt coerced in any way to be civil. I will say that you same-brain Liberals are often friendly and civil to each other when you all agree on everything, and I'm often moved to wipe away a tear of jealous joy when I see it. Do you know if fruitflies are related to fireflies? Did you notice I tried your "underlining" technique? A little scary at first, but you're right, it really does enhance the point, and it feels oh so good.

Thanks for clarifying, Jongsstraw. Because for a moment there I thought you might start walking the talk.

I looooove the JS lies about name calling, gets called on it, totally ignores this fact, and then calls for civility.

You're a hoot, man. Keep it up.

Hey Signy, if you circle back this thread, take a good look at this. This fine, upstanding, honest person posted distorted and sarcastic remarks right at me. It hurts girl. My spirit is shaken. And even worse so, coming so soon after you and I had such a truly beautiful, almost harmonious moment of togetherness and understanding back there. Oh for the love of mercy, I need some love, any love, librul love, Clinton love...help!

I circled back in this thread, and indeed, this is what I found in your very first post (as Rue so kindly pointed out, and as you ignored)

And Niki2, or Rue/Signy, or whoever you are...why don't you take your head out of your ass and see what's going on with this Administration? Then you might not be so damn smug and condescending to FFF posters here. I think you DO know about all these things...you just can't deal with it, so you dismiss, demean, marginalize everything & everyone you don't like. Wake up, 'cause America surely is.
Heh. You want the milk of human kindness now??? Let's say I agree to be nice to ya for the next two days. What do I get in return? (An apology to all concerned for the unwarranted attack would be reasonable, but I don't expect to get one.)

Hey Jongsie: still waiting for that apology, man! I mean, hell, you hurt MY feelings.

You apologize, and I promise to be nice to you for two whole days. But if not... well, maybe I'll just post like you do.

What a deal!

You want me to post all the things that have been hurled at me recently? I won't waste our time. Let's just say the highlight yesterday was when one of your favorites here referenced Dick Cheney's semen running somewhere on my body. Nice huh?

This piece you pasted that I wrote wrongly included you & Rue. I should not have dragged you two into it. Sorry.

Hey, well- apology accepted then. Although I think you should apologize to Niki, too, who usually posts pretty reasonably.

So- you got your two days of "nice" coming. And just to sweeten the deal, those two days will be on Monday and Tuesday, since I'll be busy this weekend and not posting much.
