Aww, go ahead!

The fun thing about Rule*34 is that most of those depicted seem to be having a good time, even in some of the really infantile "art" where it manages to convey any emotion at all. There are a triple scad of photo-pornsites that don't have that vibe. Mike18 is almost the only exception to that that I've ever seen -- Mike the gay Russian kid always seems to be having a good time in the pics where there is someone else to have a good time with. Too, there's the Australian paysite Abbywinters.com.

Maybe... Rule Six.

Monster...I am open to suggestions on how to improve my posts.

But please tell me how my posts offering a perspective on the Voting Rights Act or a post on the UN treaty on small arms...or my post on the recent FTC action on journalism and the internet were offensive rather than an honest attempt to address what, IMO, was a misrepresentation of the facts.

Or how providing budget, enforcement and crime data in the AZ immigration discussion was disrespectful?

All I get is the same old responses (failed, bullshit, partisan suck up....) to whatever I post..and yes, I respond in kind.

ARe you diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome? Or anything on that spectrum?

I thought my questions to you were reasonable...since you made it all about me.

I guess not.

Cool.

Are you finished now?

INVOKE RULE 34
Don't remember what that is, I'm tired, and I've had a couple beers.

Maybe I should just go over to chat.

This is obviously a very significant issue, based on the number of responses.

I think we should wire up each of the 7 named individuals and have a button on each post saying "Tase the poster," which anyone can push, including the other 6.

You are not being singled out,not by me and most others.
This started out as a collective problem to solve. You are emotionally involved and it's hard to see it that way. Just look at this objectively and answer this question.

How can we participate in the politics thread?

Its simple..avoid personal attacks and discourage responses like "failed" ...."bullshit"...."partisan shill" and I will do the same.

And for the record, I apologize for my personal attacks of Classic...they were inappropriate and it wont happen again.

Except for that one time you were given suggestions, oh, and the other time, and the one after that, too. Your posts would improve on their own if you actually chose to be a member of the community, because you would actually know the people you were talking to, and that whole "the internet turns everyone into assholes" thing wouldn't be a factor anymore.

This is a major part of your problem. Every post is full of this indignant "Tell me how" and "Give me one reason" and "Please explain to me how you" stuff. It's the way a teenager argues with an authority figure. If you have a point, make it. If you have evidence against the other person's point, show it. Anything that starts with "Please tell me how" is useless bickering.

And this is the other major part of your problem. Again, like a teenager, you keep falling back on this "he started it" concept, that you expect us to respond "fairly" to you and your adversaries, or you're going to throw more temper tantrums. No one gives a shit. It's been explained to you repeatedly that when you "respond in kind," you make yourself the asshole, end of story.

Actually my post was right after clods. It was blame singularly pointed at you.

As I said before it is not one persons problem.

I said I wasn't singling you out remember?
