I guess it goes both ways.

I did not only state insulting. I also mentioned derailing the threads to whine about the threads I post, my verbiage and anything else you can think of, and if you don't think much of what you said in LJ's thread was not insulting... ok.

ok, have it your way then. If that's what you think then why am I even bothering to discuss anything with you? I don't remember what I posted in Jimbo's thread, and quite frankly, I think you're forgetting all the times I'm sided with you against people who attack you because of the subjects you choose to post on continuously.

You're on your own now though. Enjoy!

I have forgotten nothing, nor should one make me forget another.
What makes you think I have forgotten anything? I have indicated nothing of the kind.

Ali was defending you and your behavior in that thread. Is that what you think is funny?

do the words "preaching to the choir" mean anything to you? Most of us agree with your premise, I think, so I don't understand why you persist in being so confrontational . . . over a subject with little controversy here.

I don't think I am.
I don't say religious people are stupid, people should not be religious on their own time or anything of that kind at all.
I post different stories about different aspects, not only separation of church and state, but abuse of religious authority and other types of stories... not one at all and not one aspect of each.
Again, if that is what one sees it is not my fault and I will not pander to an inability to take each thread for what it is.
No one bitches about the news stories, "all you do is post news"!

Yes they do. We all know how to get news if we want it - so people do bitch when someone posts a news story and doesn't at least hint at the discussion they're trying to start.
But most people here have learned to not bother trying to discuss anything with you as you're not capable in that regard.

Every time you post a new article you might just as well be bumping one you've posted before. The "discussions" all go the same way.

yeah I just re-read the whole thing. There's nothing i said in that thread that I would think anyone could consider to be insulting to rkz at all. Quite the contrary. I suppose maybe it must have been insulting to rkz in some way though. How that could be I simply can not fathom.

I posted two different opinions that I have on this subject in the title post jinx, you are completely incorrect.

I see those that bitch about my not posting an opinion on articles as someone who can't form their own opinion for themselves.
Again and again, "Discussion Forum", if they can't discuss it from their own perspective they have not business griping about the thread.
Just don't post.

Edit:
So funny, when I post my opinion I get all this whining like this thread and when I don't I get different whining "why didn't you post your opinion" LOL!
People just like to whine. It's beneath me.
If you like the topic and have an opinion on it, regardless of your stance on my opinion, post it and discuss it with others... don't like the thread or have an opinion, don't post... it is very simple.
Unless you are just looking for an opportunity to whine and bitch about something that has nothing to do with you... then you will make it something else, right?

[jinx]

So you copy a link right from CNN's home page and its up to everyone else to discuss it?
What do you get out of that?

Depends on the discussion.
Generally they are things that I see more than one way of looking at and want to see what others think about them, hence "Discussion Forum". Same as any discussion.
My opinion can change about anything if presented with a compelling enough argument.
This used to be a place for logical discussion instead of people freaking out like eight-year-olds the min you post something they don't like, much less disagree with them.

This line of shit might fly with the newbs, but I've actually read your posts, and know exactly how you respond when people try to discuss things with you. Flint nailed it here.
