Monitoring Biden and other Contemporary Events

know thyself. you clearly do not.

nonsense. you've been doing it against progessives for years just for the sadistic glee of it. speaking of sadistic glee as you do.

Criticizing progressives for violating people's civil liberties for fun is not name-calling. That is legitimate criticism of progressive atrocities.

Rule 8

When the moderators remove the offending posts, that works well.

When they don't remove the offending posts, it's not much of a solution.

Either is continuing the childish exchange of insults. There's a time to just walk away. There are several members here who I have no problem engaging with for a few posts but when things turn petty and personal I feel that temporarily ignoring them is much more effective.

Somehow branco leaves out trump who has far and away beat out carter, obama, and biden by popoular acclimation as the worst presdient ever, byt a substantial margin. biden is running about 20 percentage p;oints in ap[roval as trump did at his hegehst. branco remains an idiot.

No. It's sheer malign ijdiocy, however.

When you commit atrocities, it is fair to criticize you for it.

Committing atrocities is wrong. You shouldn't do it.

I play within the environment that I'm given. My first choice is that lies about me be removed. Sometime they are, and sometimes they are not.

My second choice is to just set the record straight about myself without attacking the other person. But sometimes the moderators start removing my posts where I set the record straight, while leaving up the posts that lie about me.

I get that it's repetitive when I set the record straight over and over again. But the lies about me are equally as repetitive. If the repetitive lies about me were removed to begin with, then there would be no need for me to repetitively set the record straight.

My last resort is to use aggression against the person who is attacking me. If nothing else works, that's what I am left with.

I actually put a lot of thought into my uses of aggression. I try hard to calibrate them to be as close as possible to the aggression that I am countering. I often write and rewrite a vicious personal attack so that it is not too harsh and not too mild, but instead strikes a perfect balance with what I am responding to. It's funny that people always think my vicious attacks are based on anger or something, when in reality the attacks are crafted entirely out of logical calculations.



Some time back I mused about adopting a new tactic of disregarding all the name-calling and other nonsense that progressives barf all over threads, and instead narrowly focusing like a laser only on the main point of the discussion.

I asked you (and a few others) what you thought of me trying out such a tactic. So far as I recall I never got any feedback from anyone who I asked.

Just recently I tried this tactic over on the Israel thread. I haven't made an assessment yet whether it is a success. It did seem to keep the thread on topic more than usual however.

no such progressive atrocities exist. conservative atrocities, llike the jan. 6 insurrection, or the entire trump presidency, hough, are rife.

That is incorrect. Violating people's civil liberties is an atrocity.

And that atrocity is compounded by the fact that the only reason for violating their civil liberties is because progressives think it's fun to violate people's rights.

Violating people's civil liberties would be an atrocity even if progressives were doing it for a good reason. But the fact that they are doing it for sport just makes everything even worse.

Gee, silly me. i thought the actual atrocity was the 225 mass shootings in the u.s. so far in 2021. but those murderous shootings aren't atrocities, they're just civil liberties, right, oralloy?

I must've been ignoring your posts at the time, as I don't remember that. But it's a good idea, in general. The thing is, a person needs to maintain the discipline to stick to the resolution.

Personally, when goaded to hostility, I feel that I've let my adversary get the better of me. I think it's really better to leave insults unanswered, or humorously brushed off. They kind of lose their sting when they're just sitting there, so ineffective that they didn't even warrant a response.

Those shootings are red herrings.

Laws against pistol grips are not about trying to save lives or stopping shootings.

No, the actual atrocity is progressives violating people's civil liberties for no reason.

I noticed. I started to slip a couple times on the Israel thread. But I caught myself and deleted my posts before the deadline expired.

gtruly pathetic nonsense.\
no, the shootings are not red herrings, they are murder.
it takes someone truly sociopathic to argue rhar no, you cannot buy an ar15 is an atrocity while using that ar15 to kill a dozen people is not an atrocity but relly a civil liberty.
claiming it haas anyithing to do with pistol grips, on the other hand, is a truly stupid red herring.
