Did I not do the flippant comment thing correctly?

DanaC · 05-09-2011, 01:25 PM

Oh you did it splendidly. I was responding in kind.

Flint · 05-09-2011, 01:28 PM

Oh heck, I messed up. Is that a red card?

DanaC · 05-09-2011, 01:29 PM

Ahahahahaha.

Very good.

[eta] damn. The pre-edit post was funnier.

Sorry, I'm a compulsive editor. I questioned whether the additional "paraphrase" reference was repetitive.

I had said:

Then I haven't made myself clear. It isn't a tangential point. It is a solution to all of the problems that have been discussed.

On that I am afraid we will have to agree to differ.

This board looks centre-right to me, too. I do think there is a difference between where the Americans and the British place the "centre".
I volunteered to mod a thread if people found that a helpful idea - I can't say I'm particularly in favour of modding, but feel that I can tell a gratuitous insult from a reasoned argument and offered that as a contribution to calming things down.
I'm not at all sorry the offer's not been taken up.
I "self-police" my involvement with the trolls, unpleasant regulars and other nastinesses on the board by not engaging with them. I have employed the "ignore" function twice, but mostly I skip over the stuff I want to avoid. As a lot of this is in the politics forum, I don't go in there at all.
Usually the shit settles down after a while and the Cellar becomes a pleasant place to hang out again for a while.

Thanks Dana for covering for me (mwah!).

i don't post (with the exception of the osama thread and a couple others) for basically the reason here everyone is discussing. why would one want to post their views only to be butt fucked (and not in a good way mind you) for their beliefs? seems to me that went down in the mid 1900's and the outcome was useless death and torture. not saying that the politics thread here is useless death and torture but hey, why post my views when someone is gonna come along and say that i deserve to be raped by tribbles from star trek? ok thx bai!
