Which is why most people won't reply to you or your master, sock puppet.

Just want the record to show who it was that wanted death for people they disagreed with (StephS, AKA Prey AKA Cartoon).

Ripped, you had ONE semi-polite response before you started trolling - and your trolling was before Citizen came in. And after you started trolling, you had only ONE polite response - to Zero. Why is that?

You response to SergeantX
One must wonder how you come to hate your country so much.

Your NEXT response to SergeantX
You toss around charges like 'war criminals' with such reckless disregard ...
Riiight. That makes no sense what so ever. I suppose you had to come up with some answer, but this was the best you had ?

Your response to ChrisIsAll
You're not offering any rebuttle, just the delusion that things MUST be bad. Why ? Because you hate Bush

Not only that, you LOVE to pick and chose your facts and NEVER back them up: We've talked about the economy before, haven't we ...

Here you're saying
"Great economy, 4.4% unemployment, low interest rates, most home ownership in nation's history"

Now in THIS thread (which you started) "Despite what doom/gloomers say, economy roars on."
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=18&t=20330
You said it was
U.S. Stocks Rise (check)
services index (?)
factory orders (?)
US Federal Reserve will keep hiking interest rates to rein in inflation (NO)

In a PREVIOUS thread you said it was
U.S. consumer confidence (NO)
sales of existing homes (NO !!!)
consumer spending (?)
Which you amended to
rate of growth is high ( 4.8 % ) (?)
unemployment is down


TROLL, TROLL TROLL
YOUR POSTS
GENTLY DOWN THE SCREEN
NASTILY, NASTILY, NASTILY, NASTILY

StephS

And what's with your PM ? I mean, really, don't you think that stuff gets around ?

And WHY would you think Citizen is a troll and completely ignore all the trolling done by 'your side' ? C'mon, do you really believe people are so easily fooled ? Do you really think people won't get a clue as to what YOU are about from your posts ?

rue - I'm right, and neither you or citizen even try to debunk me. So all you have left is trolling. Then you call others trolls, when it's you who is clearly the troll.

Kids these days. Sheeesh!

Oh asswipe, you CARE !
I have lots and lots of civil discussions with many people here on this fine site. Your discussions with others? Not so much.

I've noticed this. AU says "TROLL!" and although I play rough on probably more occasions than I should I have also shown myself capable of having a discussion with people I disagree with. Compare this to AU, who has only made a civil post toward people who parrot his viewpoint.

My major fault is I tend to reply to people as they speak to me, yours seems to be likewise that you talk to people as they deserve. Really why should we converse with people politely while they spew virtiol like an Alcoholic after a dodgy kebab?

And of course StephS, the 'not a Cartoon sock puppet' that has a turn of phrase rather similar to his, turns up all of a sudden to echo his position (just as Prey did once) and whose first impulse is to accuse anyone who has an alternate opinion as a Troll. Or in my case should be killed.

However bad I am I have never called nor hoped for the death of someone because they have a differing opinion. Obviously for the extreme Right wing nutcases this is reasonable. Wasn't there another group in recent history that had a similar outlook?

Hi Citizen -

I personally need to figure how to respond to people like Ripped, Zero and Slick.

The problem I have is that they spew lies and propaganda like full bore sewer pipes. And I feel compelled to address that. Because well, if there is something and no one is countering it, it becomes accepted as if it's true. (And BTW, I appreciate the fact that you, SignyM Soupcatcher and others do address their posts more consistently than I do.) But getting into debates with them is completely frustrating - and pointless. They NEVER change their positions, retract their lies, enter honest debate, or stop their trolling.

Maybe the thing to do is not actually debate them, but to keep posting the facts in response to their cr*p.

As to death threats ..... wow. That is totally beyond sane. And why in god's name would they be so stoopid as to put pen to paper (or electrons to memory) with that kind of stuff. Not only can they legally get slapped down big time, but do they really think it's going to stay private? Do they really think they're not going to get tagged with it? And judged on it? Sheesh.

Am I included in this little snark? Because I know- and you do too- that I've REPEATEDLY asked you to clarify, explain, or support your posts in many threads and instead of discussing your viewpoint like an intelligent fellow you quietly left by the back door.

It's a well recognized rhetorical trick to declare victory and walk away. If you think you're fooling anyone, then you're fooling yourself.

Ain't no point to even trying to discuss anything with these lunatic flat-earthers, especially now since their painful desperation begins to show through following the walloping the american people handed out to them at the polls.

I suggest y'all follow Rue's advice and just slap down their BS with facts and leave it at that, cause otherwise it drags down into the same mess in every thread, littering our boards with garbage.

As far as extremism goes, also, one can be a political extremist and not be a wacko, kids, I take a pretty exteme political stance myself for that matter - the trouble comes when religion, politics, and mental illness coincide, which seems to be the issue with most of our 'problem children' here.

That bein said, I do think it's getting out hand, and I do think it's time to discuss the matter with Haken, before things get any uglier than they already have.
