Exclusive -- Scott Adams Predicts 'Greatest Turnout by Republicans, Maybe Ever' in Midterms

[Cyber Liberty]

That would probably be "Cripplecreek" and his lovely original "fecal smear."

@Cripplecreek has not been banned.  If he is gone, he took himself out.  He can sign in and post any time he wants...he is still listed on the Members roster.

Sinkspur did not get banned for things he said, he got it because he refused to excerpt articles, despite repeated requests by the owner to excerpt.  That was exposing TBR to legal ramifications.

I liked both of those two.  CC was a friend who's hometown was about 20 miles from mine. 

[Machiavelli]

I do.  He is sorely needed here.  I miss him immensely.

Agreed. 

[Mesaclone]

I don't but he sounds nice.

Perhaps if you weren't rude and condescending 24/7, much of what you have to say would be taken seriously. Everyone here, despite your pretensions otherwise, is open to criticism of the president...and every other politician. However, when you attack people personally by proclamations (paraphrasing) that Trump voters are essentially mindless and amoral groupie/zombies...you lose any chance of advancing your argument in a way that can influence other conservatives and Republicans.

And spare me the "I don't care" standard response...you do care, or you wouldn't post your views here. There was once a time I looked forward to your postings, but now I can almost write them for you...predictable, angry and sarcastic is no way to go through life, son.

Thanks @Mesaclone   It continues to amaze me why some people get enjoyment out of being nasty to everyone.  My only hope is that the outlet of doing that here spares their families some pain.

Why do you get enjoyment out of being nasty to people? Is it to spare your family some pain?  Does it keep you from kicking the dog?

Well, of course, the real answer is that she doesn't do that. Other than that basic and rather obvious fact, your attempt at a moral equivalence was right on point!

Self-awareness turns me on.

[Mesaclone]

Self-awareness turns me on.

How...ironic.

[RoosGirl]

How...ironic.

You think, huh?

Obi-wan Kenobi is my only hope.

Really??  We need to talk....

Hah, go for it.

It can be hard to avoid being rude and condescending @Mesaclone .  Sometimes you can build a clear and powerful message, expressing you opinion thoughtfully, honestly, and sincerely...only to screw it up on the close son.

Hmmm.  So, why, @Once-Ler did you come on a thread that was clearly marked to be about Scott Adams only to make a post deriding and making fun of him?  Was that thoughtful and sincere?  Or just mean?  I'm going for mean.

[Cyber Liberty]

Hah, go for it.

Probably not.  It's just not in me....

You are once again blissfully ignorant.  The post from me you quoted described @Mesaclone 's post to me.  He starts off complaining about my rude and condescending posts and concludes by insulting me.

Practice what you preach hypocrites.

[Emjay]

Probably not.  It's just not in me....

@Cyber Liberty   Reminds me of the old adage, 'never wrestle with a pig; you get all dirty and besides the pig enjoys it.'

The problem with engaging certain people here is that they enjoy it and will keep arguing till the cows come home and even after.

Back to topic.

Looks like blue wave is a puddle now.  Race changes today show democrats on decline in both House and Senate.

True dat, but I happen to know @RoosGirl and she's certainly not a pig.  She just dishes it out when she receives it.

I was not thinking of @RoosGirl with the pig comment.  My only problem with her is her constant need to make sexual innuendos but I never criticize her about that.  It fills some kind of need and is a harmless hobby.

Strangely, it happens more frequently, the older you get.

The a great take, @Emjay !

Couldn't have, ...certainly wouldn't have, expressed it any better.

Not me!  I was born crotchety.  I'm actually mellowing with age.  Of course, I  may pick it back up now that I'm retired?
