Trump on ABC "This Week": Will not rule out Muslim database or a 3rd party run

[mystery-ak]

Also, there is a clear pattern of both flooding the site with dozens of posts all expressing the same point of view, and by doing so all other threads except Trump threads are drowned out, and never have an opportunity to be read and discussed

I totally agree with this...ranger and I go to great lengths to get the news and post it..it is getting to the point that I don't even want to post anything re to Trump cause I know exactly what is going to happen.

And sink this is addressed to you..if you don't lighten up a little on your constant Trump bashing..we all know how you feel about his..a thousand times we know..I will lighten it up for you..

Please try to contribute on other threads that don't have anything to do with Trump..that would be a novelty and a relief.

What seems to get under some peoples' skin is his style of posting....one of a super-confident, plain speaking...take your political correctness and shove it up your *** poster.

Not true in my case. It's the circular arguments that he continually engages in that does it for me.

OK.  I guess I see where this is going. 

Why can't posters simply ignore my Trump posts?  My Trump threads?  I'M the problem?  It seems to me that the posters who respond to me are the problem.  They could kill a Trump thread in a heartbeat if they would just PASS!!!

This is a give-and-take forum, yet you want me to "lighten up" and not post on the Trump threads YOU put up.  What the hell?  I don't like Trump.  Others do. And yet I'm the problem.

Is this a Trump forum?  Because, if it is, I'm done here.

Don't respond to my "circular arguments."  That you can't resist doing so is your problem, not mine.

Well, I'm butting heads with him every day on Trump.   Hasn't affected how we interact.

He's entitled to his opinion....and you must admit, he was NOTHING like bkepley or even godzilla in terms of sheer volume of material or participation.

So throwing out personal insults is OK with you, just so you are not the target.  Apparently it's OK with moderator.  Am I right?

NO this is not a Trump forum..I don't even support him.

I did not say not to post on Trump threads just lighten up a little how many times a day can you tell all of us how bad he is, how stupid he is, how he is not fit to be president....WE GET IT!....

I am tired of all the angst this is causing on the forum..you should see my pms re this

[Bigun]

I did that for a period of time! Until I realized that is exactly what you wanted me to do.

[Sanguine]

Point is I used to really enjoy this site as an admitted outsider.  I was never part of the original FR cabal that seem to know each other so well from those days. 

Guess I'm tired of being called a "drunk" by your friend when he cannot think of a rational rejoinder.  So, continue to support each other.   Just don't do so at the exclusion of new intelligent members.

Well, in all fairness, it wasn't exactly a "cabal"....

[sinkspur]

Whoa.  So the snowflakes are bombarding you over posts they don't have to read, they don't have to respond to, indeed, that they can just ignore and go to some other thread.

And that's my fault.

As I said on another thread, I don't want Trump to be the nominee and I am not going to back off in the effort to bring that about.

And "pms" is a pretty good description of what you're being slammed with.  I would ignore them, if I were you. Nobody forces these posters to wring their hands over what I post.

[sinkspur]

Oh, so you're pissed off at me because you have to respond to my posts, otherwise you're doing what I want you to do.

Do you not realize how silly that is?

[famousdayandyear]

Well, in all fairness, it wasn't exactly a "cabal"....

OK.  To be politically correct, an association of close knit friends with a common set of values.  How is that?  If not correct, please help me out and provide an appropriate noun.  In all fairness....

Full Definition of CABAL
1:  the artifices and intrigues of a group of persons secretly united in a plot (as to overturn a government); also :  a group engaged in such artifices and intrigues

I would go with a group of exFreepers and assorted other concerned citizens.

And, lighten up - I was just gently teasing you.  No offense meant.

See this is what I mean...*snowflakes*..that is your new term now for Trump supporters..you just don't know when to stop.
Yes pms..by the remaining few who don't have you on their ignore list

Now you are telling me you are going to continue this barrage...well you will leave me with no choice.

[Bigun]

Do you not realize how silly that is?

NO Sink!  What I find SO tiresome is the FACT that you can be proven completely wrong about something today and then will come back tomorrow making the exact same argument again!

You're going to kick me off the forum.  Is that what I'm discerning here?  "Snowflakes" is a term for delicate flowers who run to mama when they don't like something. I used to do that, too, but then realized, hey, I can ignore these people.

If there are so few that don't have me on ignore, why is there a problem?   

OK. I'll stop the "barrage" and you can have your sleepy little forum with the Trumpies and Cruz supporters all amening each other.   I guess that's what they want and you want.

[sinkspur]

IGNORE ME.  I had you on ignore for over a year.  You could at least return the favor.

He's 'insulted' me.  But like I said, to me, it's Sunday night, we're arguing while eating chicken wings and drinking beer.

I insulted him back.  It's no big deal.

Nope!  That let's you get away with that crap!

If someone is drinking and it's obvious and I point it out, is that an insult?

Especially when the drinker doesn't deny it?

I don't care if somebody drinks, but when I used to drink a lot it affected what I said. So I think it's important to give a context to what people say.

It must be still affecting what you say.  My experience is that people with a problem (and drinking must be problematic for you) most often project that problem onto another person.  Thus, this projection allows the offender to deflect the problem from himself.  I think this is true for you -- putting what you say to me in context.

You have many defenders, so you need not worry about a little ole girly girl from North Carolina.  I've bout had enough of bleep footin deceivers.

Good luck, sinkspur.  (Are you the same sinkspur from FreeRepublic?  If not, nevermind.)

I don't drink and haven't for 20 years.

It does not appear to be effective in achieving your goal.  Perhaps a different method is called for?

Perhaps not.  This is Trump central, and I'm obviously out of place here.

No it isn't! Not by a long shot!  I'm on YOUR side of the Trump thing for cryin out loud!
