Time to shake off the hatred and move forward. I’ll even play nice and share my sandbox, if you make any effort at all in civility. Surprise me.
I missed you Assquatch, Joe wasn’t able to keep up his side of the conversation without you.
I’m sort of getting stuck on the concept that I’m being pushed to be more PC by the crowd that generally rails against PC.
Interesting…[/quote]
I didn’t know I was trying to keep up an entire conversation. Next time, shoot me a memo, okay?
You’re not getting pushed to be PC. You’re getting pushed to stop being such a bitter ass is all. You’re not fun to have a discussion with anymore.

melodramatic–I’m not sure if that was excessive emotion, but it was slightly palterous.
My mistake on the priciple thingy. I’ve dealt with so many-I must have you confused with another.
Jerffy, careful, you might start getting lectures on posting etiquette, which is amusing since it generally comes from those “against being politically correct” though they (they being those that are against being coerced into being politically correct, obviously) are happy to attempt to coerce others into behaving in a way that conforms to their own preferences.
By the way Jerffy, it doesn’t happen often, but I can tell from time to time that you are doing research instead of just cheerleading!
Congrats man, you might be able to climb up from the bottom rung of the political discussion ladder at some point. Keep it up.[/quote]
Not a matter of “posting etiquette.” It’s a matter of not acting like a teen online. I tried to tell you in a nice way many times, but you just don’t seem to get it.
Picture a pimply faced teen getting all of his stress out by calling other people names on the Internet.
Not a good image huh?
Talking tough (personal insults) on the Internet is not actually “being” tough. In fact, an argument could probably be made that talking tough on the Interent is a cowardly act. I know we had this conversation once before, but I’m perfectly willing to have it again…and again…and again, as many times as needed.
Zeb, I don’t see where you get off claiming I look down on voters, of any kind, for simply following established principles of human behavior.
Stick your head in the sand all you like, disagree all you like, but don’t blame me for human behavior.
Silly man.

Hey everyone, I’ve got a new game, it’s called mischaracterization. You make a statement and I’ll find a way to imply you were denigrating Americans. Sounds like fun doesn’t it kids?
Alternately, I’ve recently learned another game, it’s called, lets go piss in someones thread, then when they respond, I can claim they are acting unreasonably outside the political forums. Woooo. That one sounds fun too kids!
Then, there’s another new one. Claim political correctness is the bane of all existence, but when someone says something you don’t like to hear, tell them they shouldn’t be saying things that way. They should really be following more acceptable rules of behavior. In other words, they should be more politically correct. Does that sound fun kiddies?
Today’s political forum is brought to you by the letter H and the word HYPOCRITE. Have fun kids.

True, Joe, I may have never posted it, but some of Zeb’s posts have struck me that way.
And yes, Joe, I am very jealous of all of your banter with the internet vixens who you will likely never meet in person. I wish, I could be like you instead of meeting women in the flesh and all of the benefits that brings.
Oh, I forgot they PM by the dozens with dirty pictures as well! How could I forget about the phantom PM world.
And yet, we have only your word about all the wonderful warm and wet happenings you claim to have with real women. I’m betting you sit home watching MTV with a bottle of lotion.
[/quote]
And yet, we only have your behavior to deduce what your evenings are spent doing. Hum, let’s see we don’t know what you look like because you have never posted pics even though you have been quick to throw down judgment on others.
You spend an inordinate amount of time flirting with women you will likely never meet. I’m wondering who really has stocked up on the lotion.
But, then again you live in the phantom PM world where anything is possible.

I find it interesting though, that the only way you could keep up was for me to discontinue posting. I’ll give you another shot now.
Horton
Hahahaha.
You are still making assumptions I’m afraid. Just because I didn’t bring out my e-penis like you did, doesn’t mean I don’t have credentials of my own.
Your ego is pretty damned big, I will grant you that.[/quote]
You’ve yet to see my e-penis.
As childish and moronic as that verbage is.
I never once questioned your credentials. You sir, questioned mine. Hence my response oh twister.
You might buy into your spin, but anyone keeping up knows the score.

I don’t think I’ve ever said anything bad about anyone’s pictures–except maybe for Al Shades or Spitz.
I’ve said more than once that it takes serious stones to post a picture or pictures.
How is it flirting to have conversations with ladies?
I’m learning as much from chatting with them as I am from reading CT’s articles. I can’t spend all my time down here bringing you this quality entertainment.
Apparently one or the other of us doesn’t know the difference between talking and flirting. That’s probably me, and that’s fine.
And now that we’ve insulted each other back and forth a couple of times, can we get back to where we basically think the other is a good guy, or are going to join vroom and Sas-q with the e-penis waving.
Cause, honestly, Elk…I have no interest in waving my penis at you…“e” or otherwise!
Somehow, what I don’t understand, is why that one day when you agreed that Zeb had said something unreasonable that you thought I’d be your best friend for the rest of my life.
That, is utter childishness.
I’ve never made you any promises nor suggested in any way that you could expect me to back your own incredibly insulting style.
Is this a continuation of grade school or something?
Discuss the ISSUES, without resorting to snide insults, and so will I. It really is as easy as that. The rest is simply entertainment.

that’s what Sasquatch has tried to do. And each time he tries you find a new and creative way to duck him and insult him.
I don’t care if you insult me–for the most part.
Like any other irritation, I’m growing a callous.
But it bugs me when you go after him (assquatch?) while saying he should debate you on facts and issues.
And btw, I was wrong about Zeb, too. He wasn’t being unreasonable.
My mistake, and I’ve apologized to him for it.
Joe, I got to admit you don’t really do it to me until, I interject myself between, as you point out, something between you and Vroom.
It’s that namby pamby game you play with Vroom that annoys me. I am not the key master and can’t tell you what to do, but if you care to get along don’t play that game.
Usually people have a strong dislike for those they can’t box into a place where they can “win the argument”.
That’s why many of your like minded friends can’t stand ProfX or Vroom, because as Vroom pointed out about X before, they stick to logic.
Zeb, who I admire as a very intelligent and principled man still cannot desist from his smear tactics when he runs into a person with an opposing political viewpoint.
He then has a few underlings who attempt to play this same game, but they can’t even play it as well as Zeb does.
Zebs smearing attempts of Vroom don’t work on those except the rabid cheerleaders who will eat anything up that comes from the right.
Some on the right then try to manipulate me by saying “oh you are above that don’t express yourself that way”. What they really are doing is playing the we’ll offer you some positive/negative affirmation to manipulate you into being quite.
As vroom said stick to the debate not pussy veiled put downs or smears or slanders. Afford those of us who disagree with your view that and we will do our best to reciprocate.
No, that isn’t quite what he does. He suggests what I should do, and suggests that he never does anything but the right thing, while I’m busy doing the wrong things, and that I have to go do something, because he is giving me a chance to do so.
If he left that tripe out, and actually just made a reasonable on-topic comment directed at me, I’d respond in kind. Try it some time. I mean, I might make a mistake since I’m getting a barrage from multiple people across multiple threads or perhaps a post might be put through that appears afterwards based on timing issues, but try it and see.
Case in point, the truce you called, then broke. Until you did the “truce schmooce” bit our interaction was reasonable.

Like when I came back on board and suggested we go back on topic. I brought up that Nadar was now taking over the reigns. I said I’ll play nice we can even share my sandbox.
Look at your r esponse to that. And this was after 4 negative/unresponded to posts you made directly about me when talking to others.
You take immediate umbrage to any suggestion you may be wrong and the thread goes downhill after that. I’ve extended numerous efforts to quell the anger. You’ve chosen anger.
You have made the choice to be angry and bitter and mean spirited. A bastard to quote you. I really don’t find that anything to be proud of vroom. I feel bad for you that you wear it like some badge of honor.
Sasquatch, exactly like that. Getting up on your pedestal and telling me to play nice, because you are giving me a chance to, guarantees that I am going to address your admonishment.
Not an attempt to be insulting, but this is pretty simple stuff.
