You are such a douchebag, Rappy.

Meanwhile, back in the adult world, it's becoming more and more apparent that people have a right to clarify what they mean. Pinning people down to what they said last week or last year destroys relationships of all kinds. Allowing people to clarify themselves and waiting for your interpretation of what they're saying to be confirmed by them isn't "moving the goal post," it's "communication."
AURaptor, like every other human being on the planet, sometimes doesn't express himself very well or clearly. Your commitment to demolishing him when he does this, serves no end but to solidify hostility. No good ever comes of it.
To me, this kind of blatantly childish tit for tat, the utter renunciation of the moral, socially aware high ground in favor of scoring points is the #1 reason, I for one, spend less and less time participating in the RWED. There will always be an AURaptor, but Storymark and Kwicko used to have higher standards for their own behavior.
The world will not improve until we, each of us, decide to clean up our own acts and treat EVERYONE (including AURaptor and Kaneman) with base line respect for them as fellow human beings. Not because they've earned it, but because we know it's right. We on the left roundly denounce the government when they justify their iniquity by pointing at their enemy saying, "but they're worse! They started it!" but that is exactly what y'all are doing when you try to out-troll the trolls. Sure, no lives are on the line, so I forgive you ( 
), but the moral principle is identical. Seriously, all these months pumping yourselves up at AURaptor's expense just reflects very badly on you, imho.
I don't mean to offend. This is just my plea for a teensy bit more civility from the people I respect the most on my favorite internet forum.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Well, HKCav - it does help to have an example...
That's usually Anthony, who I respect tremendously for it, but it wouldn't kill you to enter a discussion once in a while for the express purpose *of* bringing some civility to it - heaven knows I am utterly, absolutely, the wrong go-to-guy for that particular aspect of a discussion, although the tit-for-tat thing does drive me severely bonkers in a major way - it's just that me calling someone else on a lack of verbal civility is like Sauron busting chops on the Rohan for being racist pricks, isn't it ?

You are such a douchebag, Rappy.
Besides name calling, and because you can't back up YOUR claim, you have nothing.
Mayor Bloomberg, who tried to push the idea that the Times Square (Failed) bomber was some anything BUT what he actually was. .
“There is no credible evidence so far that this attack was more than at least one person, the driver,” said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “After that there is no evidence that anyone else was involved. It may be, but we can’t say that it is.”…
“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”
Story, don't go away mad. Just go away.

I have your words, you blithering moron.
You said it, not I. And you are the one who can't back it, other than to try and equivocate. Saying Christians have done bad things is not saying Muslim Extremists don't exist. Deflecting to Bloomberg or anyone else who doesn't post here is... deflecting, since I specified people here in the post you responded to when you CLAIMED (falsely) that people were denying their existence.
IT WAS YOUR CLAIM, and YOU didn't back it up. I'm claiming nothing - other than to point out you are a lying sack of shit.
Talk in circles all you want, fucko, they were your words, and you are the one without the balls to be honest.

I think you are being overly generous by calling him human.
As to the rest, fuck him.
If he had ever been anything even approaching intellectually honest, I'd give a shit. But he doesn't so I don't.

I'm talking circles around you, because you're so god damn inept. I asked YOU to quote me, and instead, all you do is continue to dodge the issue.
" You said it " - Oh, really? Where did I say it ? What EXACTLY did I say ? Refresh my memory, and let's see if I really said what you think I said, or if you're just full of b.s. and mindless venom.
What YOU said I said isn't of any concern to me. You don't even know what the hell you're so pissed off about, other than you can't win an argument on a message board. BFD. Get a real life with real problems, and then maybe you'll find something to get upset over beside - the absolute nothing you have here.

Jeezus, you delusional moron - Mal posted the quotes yesterday! And I reposted it today. Here, since you are apparently incapable of following your own thread, here they are yet a-fucking-gain:

So, there you go - you said people here (and don't deflect, I brought it up in the strict context of this board - and you replied in kind) are denying the existence.
Your words - period. Which you cannot back up.
This isn't me loosing an argument - it's me posting your own words, asking you to back them, and you denying that you even said them. You chickenshit disingenuous mental midget. If you can't even stand by your own words, no wonder you're such a staggering failure at getting any sort of coherent point across.

Pumpkin, we've already gone over this once.
I replied to the so called quote.
It doesn't say what you claim it says.
try again, genius.

Anyone coming into this forum for the first time would surely just wwalk away shaking his/her head.
There's a post by Righteous very clearly explaining that all "lefties" don't hate Christianity, what we really believe, and all the logical reasons we believe what we do.
And the response?
Quote:A slathering of name-calling, lies, and overblown rhetoric not addressing a SINGLE valid point Righteous made.
Starting about 15 years ago, I'd have been right there with them. The brazen dishonesty, the hatred and mindless vitriol by Christian fundies was drawing to a fever pitch. You see, the Y2K thingy was on its way, and the world was suppose to end. I was even more animated against those nuts then, thinking I could hammer some sense into their skulls with the 2x4 of knowledge and reason, but just like Kwiickie and the Left wing zealots here, some skulls are simply too empty and too dense to bother with even trying.
We're talking near Fred Phelps / Westboro Baptists type morons here, and it was pretty damn ugly. But even as evil and inbred as those folks are, they still didn't cut the heads off of non believers, or try to set them on fire. That sort of evil, which most had figured was forever stuck in the dark ages, is alive and well w/ Muslim zealots of today.
The Left refuses to see the evil of the latter, and instead simply focuses on Christian " intolerance ".
That says it all. Logical addressing of claims by one, nothing but "mindless vitriol" from the others. It's a miracle ANYONE sticks around here.
