Oh, gawd, Chris, I nearly fell over laughing. PRICELESS! I used to have that internal argument myself, until I woke up and figured it out. Thank you, that was downright great!
I started reading from the bottom, but I had to stop when I got to that one...reading anything beyond that; would just be a waste, and spoil it.Quote:
Most excellent, most excellent. Now, how do we make everyone else see the light so we can have INTELLIGENT conversations? I've given up on that one, tho' I'll continue to remind people. But that everyone should have that same internal argument whenever tempted, but I know that's too much to hope for.
Without a full spectrum of actual life experience from which to draw, concepts form within a vacuum.
Just felt reeeel good to hear someone else having it! Many thanx.

This from a liberal on another forum, on the OWS gang.

*hugs back to Chris* Anthony's awakened, did you see? 
Maybe you and he and I could have discussions now and then (maybe with others who've "got it"?) and ignore the efforts to thread jack and get attention? Probably wouldn't work, tho', because others would get drawn in and then take the bait, and the discussion would become the usual back and forth. But hey, I can dream...
Meant to tell you that I copied that post, printed it and put it above my computer. I'm hoping that when I'm in danger of getting drawn in, I can read it and remember reality. I still have no problem refuting his idiocy...ONCE...and then moving on, but what you described, oh, how often I had that battle before it became habit not to take the bait. So double thank you.

I haven't said anything before, but I don't understand what the big to-do about Raptor's posts is. If he says something that matters to me and I find worth responding to then I respond, just like I would with anyone else on this forum, you're all people after all. I don't see why that's rocket science. But apparently it is because we have Niki making long posts about how she doesn't respond to Raptor and how everyone else should do the same, we have her deriding people who do spend time going 'round and 'round with him, even though I think the people who do that like doing it, aka Quicko and possibly Anthony. I don't see what the issue is, if you want to respond then do it, if you don't then don't. Its not all that complicated. Its up to you.

It's because I don't fall in line with niki's political & social views, so I must be demented , and therefor mocked & shunned. But not so shunned that SHE can't keep taking her shots. It's rather sad, juvenile & counterproductive for forum , or real life.

I can only speak for myself, Riona, but I see no such post as you went after me for--the longest post here is BY Raptor, an intended diss (as is every single thing he writes on the subject) of OWS.
I wasn't aware I "derided" others, I merely said that in my own opinion, my choice of how to deal with him is preferable to others. Sorry you weren't here to see how HE and THEY have dealt with ME in the past, but I've never reciprocated to any similar degree.
I recognize those who take the bait enjoy doing so, Mike has said as much and I've acknowledged it. You haven't noticed that I stopped trying to persuade Mike after he made that clear. I have made a different choice, and one which I believe is less thread-jacking, as well as cutting off the discussion when I felt it WAS taking over the thread. That you single me out is interesting, given comments by others in the past few days. Others have made some pretty strong remarks about Raptor and the inability to communicate with them as well. I assume you either haven't noticed that or choose not to for some reason regarding your feelings about me.
His response to you is a perfect example of his deliberate mindset that he claims it's because he disagrees with my political stance that I deride him, when he knows perfectly well that I've made it quite clear it's not about that at all. It's a typical tactic; ignore whatever's been said before and utilize the same attack over and over, however false it's been proven--and toss in a few negative remarks about the person's character wherever possible to boot. Which he does on a regular basis; to say "SHE can take her shots", when he never fails to take a shot at me, WHATEVER I WRITE, whether it has to do with him or not. You might glance over threads I've put up, you'll find that Raptor is right there, tossing out snarks and personal derisiveness; MOST of the time I pass right over his stuff, which can't be said of him. So maybe a little perspective would help.
This discussion is getting off topic, again, so I'm going to try to leave it here. I was not the one who started discussing Raptor or "going after" him, if you read the thread, so why not go after Chris, whose post was an uproarious snark? It's far more derisive than mine...

Just read through the thread from beginning to end. Anthony, Mike, and especially Chris went after Raptor before I even SHOWED UP, so where you get "But apparently it is because we have Niki making long posts about how she doesn't respond to Raptor and how everyone else should do the same" I don't know. Raptor was being derided and laughed at before I even ARRIVED at this site, and there are people here who make it a point to go after him, which I don't...I only respond to clarify his lies, to reply to someone else who's "gotten it", and to remind people that he's not HERE to communicate, only to push people's buttons and get attention.
So BLAMING me for why people go after Raptor is very interesting, and rather personally offensive. That said, I'm going to try and get away from this topic and back to the real one.

Hi Niki, I don't have any negative feelings towards you, I just notice, in lots of threads, that you often post about how you don't post about what Raptor says anymore and you say that others should look to that. I know others are starting to do it more, but you've been doing it a lot, particularly since summertime. I understand why you do it to a degree but you seem to do it a lot. If you want I can point it out to you when you do it so you see examples of what I mean. I'm not saying you can't do it or anything, you can do whatever you like, I'm just saying you do it a lot, that's all.
