Hate to say it, but I came on here looking for a fight....

[Chasaway]

My experience has been the exact opposite.  Nothing BUT games are played on threads she moderates; therefore, I refuse to enter any thread where she is moderator.

Well, we'll see here. This will be interesting.

She has posted back to me, calling me @Oceander. At one point, she told me that I'd jumped the shark having talked back to her.

She's credited with being smart and fair. She's a moderator on this board.

I've also heard that she can be a real meany.

I don't have enough experience to say whether she's fair or unfair.

Again, we'll see.

You know, this thread illustrates something interesting. As I write this, there are just over 1400 views. If the Trump supporters wanted to disprove what I posited, this would be a terrific opportunity to do so.

However, they have instead done everything they can to prove my point. Even to the point of a moderator attempting to spin/mischaracterize my initial thesis.

There have been personal attacks, denigration of people/ideas, diversion, distraction, mischaracterization, etc.

But very little attempt by the Trump supporters to try to answer the statement: Why is it so difficult to ask questions/make criticism of Trump without being attacked?

Rather, they walked right into it and proved the point.

Sad, right?

Extremely sad!

@Bigun...where in Texas?

@Bigun...where in Texas?

Between Huntsville and College Station

[Chasaway]

Pretty country!

All my kin is over in Old Waverly/Coldspring. I lived for years and years in Conroe.

Be well, Texan...

[DCPatriot]

Now, look...this is what I mean. Because you disagree with someone's position, a "respectful dialogue in a unified forum is unsustainable."

I mean, what the hell does that mean?!! Unless we agree with you, we can't have a respectful dialogue?!

Good grief! What else do you need to read/write to get what I'm saying?!

No sir.

We have empirical evidence contained in the vast majority of the political posts here going back more than one year.

They don't want respectful dialoge.

Right here #159, the house 'comic'   @Frank Cannon expects somebody to list reasons to vote for Trump, describing him as a "steaming pile", etc..

Thank you!  My GG Grandfather and mother are buried in the Old Waverly Cemetery.  We may well be kin.

Your gig is up, O.

Yeah, well I do. And have.

I think you're the one who's said:

"They're sore losers.  They put their own sanctimony and selfish so-called "principles" above their children and/or grandchildren. Anybody who can't see that...no matter where we are in the process... is too ignorant to vote and furthermore, too willfully blind to engage in any serious manner."

And:

"And another one.....'crying' because Teddy got his azz kicked?     \

"Crying" because the less than half-dozen Trump supporters here are so, what?   MEAN??   

"Crying" because the joint isn't more than an echo-chamber in the vein of TOS?

 

"You'd better put some ice on that....."

That's just on this thread. You sure you want some respectful dialogue? Or do you just like to attempt to condescend and then later present your specious, fatuous statements?

Not sure why she'd call you Oceander.  He posts as Oceander and does so often. 

[Chasaway]

Thank you!  My GG Grandfather and mother are buried in the Old Waverly Cemetery.  We may well be kin.

Mine are all Hardys and Browders...at least for the most part.

My folks have plots reserved in the Old Waverly cemetery.

[aligncare]

For the love of the Constitution @Smokin Joe.....why are you proud to put its future in Hillary's hands?

It's called pride. I said I don't like brussel sprouts, I don't want brussel sprouts, and dammit, I ain't gonna eat no brussel sprouts!  ^-^  kids are so cute when they don't get their way.

Never thought TBR would have snowflakes whining because everyone isn't on the tRump bandwagon.

[Oceander]

Ohhhh.... you jumped the shark with this question @Oceander   

@Right_in_Virginia I didn't jump diddly squat.  And I agree with you that you're no moderator.  They've a better term that comes from TOS, it starts with 'h', it ends with 'y', and it has an 'r', an 'a', and a 'p' in the middle, in no particular order.

[bolobaby]

Clever.   

Ah, and there it is.

I specifically posted a "whatever you say" comment in order to garner the dismissal from you. Why? Because your initial comment was just as inane. You offered no substantial proof that Trump isn't a crazy narcissist just "you won't have to worry about that with Trump." It's the logical equivalent of me saying "whatever" because neither comment holds the weight of any facts or logic.

Accordingly, I knew you would dismiss my *in kind* comment. Ironic, isn't it?

Next time, tell us WHY Trump isn't crazy. This is the part you Trumpettes don't understand: "He's not Hillary" is not enough to make us throw away our vote on him. Gary Johnson is not Hillary EITHER, so there is just as much reason to vote for him or Castle.

I think the problem is that you CAN'T mount a defense of this buffoon. He *is* a buffoon and prone to extended bouts of buffoonery that are embarrassing, to say the least.

Is Trump crazy? Probably not. Does he conduct himself like an immature, narcissistic child that would make people THINK he's crazy? Absolutely! Anyone who follows him on Twitter can see it daily.

So, don't tell us he's not crazy. Give us some proof to refute his very own actions.

Okay...NOW you guys are just making fun!

[Well, it IS Friday night!]

[TomSea]

Never thought TBR would have snowflakes whining because everyone isn't on the tRump bandwagon.

I never thought it either; probably because it hasn't happened.

Now, if "freedom of speech" means the right to treat others abusively, that's another story.

[Chasaway]

Sorry no fighting Sunday thu Fridays.  Now Saturday night, That's alright for fighting. You can get a little action in then.
I like the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike.   Come back Saturday

So, I know it's just Friday night and you said come back Saturday....

But, can we get started early?

It's like Saturday eve!

Can we just fight a little?

[TomSea]

More of this stuff but Trump won, what?

All of those blue states:


So, if one is name-calling, we just had a good example of that, hey, that's the folks in all of those states, "snowflakes"; so the Jeb/Ted/John/Marco supporters really show themselves again.  Practically all of Dixie.  In fact, to me, it is all of Dixieland. Is that what people are arguing with? Is that whom is being put down?

[TomSea]

I think the mods do well, if there is bullying, one has to "double-down" as they say.

The mods in some cases, do not seem to want to be confrontational as well; so then, the thing is to say one's point; and that is that.
