Excuse me while I soak in all these sweet, sweet conservative tears.

Yeah, that used to amaze me, too. In time I recognized that there are two main contributors: The hatred and dissing of eduction reflected by the GOP appeals to people like that, and LACK of education makes it easier for them to swallow the simplistic propaganda from the right.

It still amazes me, tho', when I come up against it.

Tit for tat got us where we are today. If we want to be grownups, we need to resist the ugliness. If we each did, this would be a better reflection on Firefly and a more welcome place. I will try.

I missed this thread, as it came out during my busy winter months. Interesting idea. I've certainly had bad things said about me, some earned, some not. I find that I get into exploring people's weirdnesses, rather than the topic at hand. The topic brings out the weirdness, which can be more interesting than any RW news event. Really, I've learned a lot about people brain's here, people who are quite different from me so I wouldn't interact with them much in RL.

It's not surprising that other posters don't react well when I start trying to figure out how they work, especially if I get it right. So they call me names sometimes. I honestly don't recall the names. Most of them don't hurt, either because they come from people I don't respect, or because I know that they are lashing out for reasons that have nothing to do with who I am.

So are the insults true? I don't think so, but I can see why certain posters get upset with me.

I've had some nice things said too. I like to think all those are true. :) I think I can be insightful, and I can explain things pretty clearly. I do put some effort into making my posts clear and concise. I don't always succeed. And though I have my heated moments, I try to be a calm and rational voice.

Another interesting question: what are the meanest and nicest things we've said to other posters? Where they true?

Perhaps I don't really say anything mean or nice to anyone? Must be something wrong with me. Ms Neutral.

You've said both nice things and mean things. I don't see you as neutral at all.

Once in a blue moon, someone will say something nice about a post I make. But I don't remember anyone saying anything nice about ME, the person.

Insults? Oh yeah, they rack up around me. I might be the most insulted person on this board, second to Rappy. True? Not at all. I have so many horrible defects, but for some reason, you people miss 99% of them in favor of imaginary ones you concoct about me.

You've said that I support killing thousands of innocents, that I am morally inferior to you because I *try* rather than quit and hide in a corner, and that I am no different than someone who would choose to take part in a gang-rape.

CTS: Yes. I DID mean it that way.



Um... you were talking about the insults aimed at poor little innocent *you*?

Honey, you have earned whatever is coming your way.

Really? I must be oblivious. I suppose I feel fairly neutral about most people here, even though I might not support some people's view.

In the middle of a heated discussion on something I might get heated about what I am saying or what someone has said, so I suppose that get be viewed as mean.

You don't personally support it, morality-wise. But you made decisions and votes that support it, yes.

Quote:

Your decision to vote for Obama was morally inferior to my decision to not vote for Obama. YOU, as a person, are not morally inferior to me, no.

Quote:

Your VOTE is no different from a choice to join a gangrape. My criticism is the moral inferiority of your VOTE. Not you personally. I don't know you personally.

Capitalized the actual comparison, see?

Quote:

I am FAR from innocent. And I would never claim any such thing. I am not complaining about the insults, to be clear. I am just saying the insults I get are generally inaccurate. There are much more accurate insults out there for me.

Of course I have. Agreed.

Funny as hell, because no one else makes grammatical errors, huh? Completely bogus, as y'all hype up any minor error made by one group, but then are blind to exactly the same sorts of faux pas or typos made by your 'buds'.
