Good times with some great dialogue?

[The Troll]

I remember that the video of Bush was fake and that he played golf less in 8yrs than Obama has in 3 1/2 and that Obama has put our troops in harms way by setting a withdrawal date to score political points instead of doing it on the sly.

  How about when George W. and his family and his friends took the big 747 to Texas 360 times.  How about that.  Funny Girl.

Like you say...prove it little man.

Newsflash: Mitt wasn't in the last presidential election.

  You got him by the bullocks on that one.  Oh, ho my god,         Really nice EX.       

[Palehorse]

What kind of answer is that? I asked a pertinent question.

The very kind of "dialog" this topic was created to complain about in the first place, it appears to me.

Most of us have been here 6 years; some longer some shorter. You can tell who the contributors are by the stars under their names.

If you want to complain about others it is best to look inwardly first. If you expect something from others than give it first.

Time flies doesn't it?  Are we having fun yet?   

[Locutus]

Plus that doesn't count all of the time that some of us contributed to various incarnations of this forum before it landed in this current venue.   

So it's been a lot longer than a mere six years for some of us.

I'm thinking I have been doing this for about 9 years now....and most of that time is with most of you guys.....

I think all of us met - at least those of us from different states - on the CNHI Hey Martha forums.  I joined those back in August or September of 2004.  Not sure about the rest of you.

Does it still count if you lie about what you posted to the Hey Martha Forums because you have done so here several times.  Some of us remember you well from your other incarnation.  What was is you called yourself on Hey Martha again?

[Anne]

I was on the Hey Martha forum and when they closed it down I came here. I think it was about four years ago. My name was Anne there too. It got pretty nasty at the last.

  By chance are you talking about feed back plus or minus.  It is a phony way to evaluate anyone.  especially when there is a concerted effort by people on this forum to drive the Troll off of the Unknown Zone.  It doesn't mean a thing and it didn't work.

They're referring to the way we post to each other which is not very friendly or nice a lot of the time.

No. I am talking about the way some complain about the way they are responded to, when in fact they themselves adopted the very response style they are complaining about years ago. If you want others to treat you with respect you must be willing to do the same; first.

And first, respect yourself. Do the research to educate yourself on a topic you wish to speak to. While its okay to read whatever source you want to research, once you've begun forming an opinion on a subject then it is time to research your sources for the information. Are they accredited, validated, and most importantly, are they being truthful surrounding the conclusions they draw? What's their angle surrounding their approach? IS the information available via an accredited piece of work that is peer reviewed and published? And link to it.

If you use toilet paper as proof expect it to be used for its intended purpose. Support your views with unbiased and accredited information and you'll find the dialog goes much more smoothly. Expect to be challenged and be prepared to defend your position.

If you cannot do this without resorting to playground tactics, then perhaps you should re-think your intended course of action. . .

  Yes, some people love to dish it out but oh how they cry when it is returned to them.      With the Troll, I don't' let my feeling get in the way of facts and logic.

  It's like my feeling about abortion.  I don't like to see it, I wish there was some way to eliminate it.  I like to see our young women not get pregnant until they are at least 21 years of age.  I want all women who don't want to get pregnant stay pregnant free.

  But, I sure don't want any government federal or state passing laws to take women's right to not carry a fetus to term if they don't want to.  And beyond a shadow of a doubt I sure don't want any go to hell religious group saying that the women will.

  Just like I believe that the Republican Party is the last party to put back into office.  Their past record for the last 30 years that the GOP is 100% for the rich, corporations and they sure don't believe in the best interest of the sick, poor, downtrodden and the middle class people in America.

  The GOP is pushing for and getting a Oligarchy and Corporatocracy America.    I want my America back where workers are free from scab Republican laws and Republican pro rich people's laws.

Just to set the record straight, I have never, EVER put forth one ounce of effort to drive you off the zone Troll....I have ZERO problem with you...as far as that goes, I don't care to have anyone "off' the zone.......that has never been a concern of mine....not my place to do so....anybody is welcome as far as I am concerned.....

For some reason it was okay to drive a recent person from the forum, because they "may" have been one of two people........even THEN, I did not care....they was not harming anyone.

My only thought was, that it is a shame, when there is a constant attack on a personal level at any person....I don't like playing that game, and have, in the past, got caught up in that....that is for 3rd graders in my opinion.

I know this is a unmoderated spot, and people can do what they want..........and I am still here after 6 years.....just saying it is not as much fun as it once was....that is it.

being attacked for my Christian belief on a personal level, when I have NEVER, thrown out my Christian beliefs at anyone on here...has crossed the line for me on a particular person.  Other than that, fire away!
