I am disgusted by the whole "party loyalty" meme

[MADem]

129. Really? Your definition of "threat" must be unique. Let me address your points, one by one.

The "well-funded Hillary group?" There you go again, suggesting that people here who profess a liking for SECSTATE Clinton are paid trolls. That's an uncivil thing to say. You're denigrating long-term DUers with that kind of commentary.

I am not "invoking jury language." I'm telling you how you're coming across using terms that are universally understood here, and can be found in the TOS, as well as the Community Standards. If it smells like "jury language" to you, maybe you should be less insulting towards me. You have engaged in name calling about me in this thread, and the post I'm responding to is a particular doozy when it comes to personal insults. You should dial it down a notch.

I could have ignored your threads? How's about this? You could have ignored my responses--but you didn't, did you?

And sorry, pal--I didn't get your "Snowden thread locked on some technicality." That's just a false statement. Apparently, you have another admirer, and it isn't me--I don't even know who the heck you are--if I've interacted with you before this, you just haven't stuck in my memory.

Here is an idea--if you don't want people to post in your threads, don't start them. You don't have the ability to ban people from posting on a thread. If you don't want to see what "certain" people--like me, apparently--say in these threads, there's a great feature called IGNORE--check it out, why don't you? My feelings will not be hurt! You'll never have to see me again, since apparently you keep going on about how upsetting I am to you, to the point that you post personal insults directed at me. BTW, you aren't "upsetting" to me. I've got you figured out.

I don't have a problem talking to people with whom I differ. And I'm not going to obscure my opinions because I think a poster acting like a victim can't deal--that's the poster's problem, not mine. That's why "I" don't need these "keyboard blocks" you see. I'm not the one starting threads that complain about people "victimizing" me for having different opinions--that's what you are doing, though.

I don't do the opposite of what I say. See, this stuff doesn't bother me--it apparently bothers YOU though. I'm simply offering you recommendations to alleviate YOUR apparent "distress" at having to see opinions that you don't share. If you don't want to avail yourself of these wonderful things the admins have provided, fine--but don't complain about having to view posters or posts that don't agree with your POV. You have a choice to see them or not. If you see them, you are CHOOSING to see them--so complaining about them is a bit disingenuous.

What is up with your false accusation that I "... look for ways to get their posts locked or hidden?" That really is a nasty thing to say, and it's untrue, too. But I won't alert on it, nor have I alerted on any of your other unkind remarks. I think it's way better if people actually SEE what you are saying, so they can judge for themselves.

And calling me a "genuine hypocrite?" That's rude and hurtful, too--pat yourself on the back, there!! Is that the way you "discuss" differences, to call people names like that? I guess it's all fine and dandy when YOU are flinging the personal insults--but you don't want anyone disagreeing with you or calling your comments into question! Bit of a one-way street you've got, there.

Incredible!!

I think you need to go back and actually READ that TOS piece I cut and pasted for you, because it doesn't say what apparently you THINK it says.



You have one of those real nice days, now--and remember, discussion boards are for DISCUSSION--not one way diatribes!

And speaking of seeing....oh, yes, I do see you! Make no mistake...
