So call people out on what you have a problem with - why do you need Bruce to hold your hand?

Sigh.

That is not my point, either.

I dont need hand-holding and I have called people out. I can get in the gutter with the best of them. I would prefer not to.

But I am trying to address the issue of how to raise the level of discourse, and I include myself and my "contributions" to the discussion..... if anyone cares.

So you want to raise the "level of discourse" to the point of where everyone agrees with your propaganda. I get it. Go to a forum where everyone agrees with you or is easily fooled by the BS you post.

See..that is exactly what I mean...twisting my words to suit yourself. You know that is not what I said.

It is not a matter of agreeing with me, but a matter of respecting others opinions and defending your own positions and opinions w/o making it personal.

Like I said, just go somewhere where you want people to play by your rules. I know, start your own forum. I am sure that you will get a lot of people to come and agree with your talking points.

Nope...bullies like you always want those to expose you for what you are to go somewhere else. I'm not that easily bullied.

I'll continue to expose you as the partisan hack that you are and the so-called "facts" that you espouse that are nothing more than wingnut talking points.

You're full of shit redux. I called you out on your "most people agree with me not you merc" bullshit, which is a dishonest debate tactic and you immediately declared I was a merc groupie conservative. You're the worst one at everything you bitch about.

On nol

Now I have been "jinxed"

I guesss that means more gutter sniping.....bring it on!

I promise I wont call you a "cunt" under any circumstances. Not my style

Way to raise the level of discourse.

[TheMercenary]

I have made a point to keep my more radical views on many issues which I feel very strong about confined to those threads where they should be confined. I did stray a bit over a year ago, I was called out on it by the community, I figured out how to maintain and express my views to those areas that are most important to me within those narrow topics. That is what I do. If you don't like Redux, I don't really care.

BTW you dragged the topic into this discussion.

[jinx]

Do you see that you're not fooling anyone redux? We all think you're an idiot.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Stop that, you're resorting to his tactics. Consider yourself moderated... uh, because you're a chick.

I don't.

[Bullitt]

I do. The attacks you've presented in this thread alone show that you are more interested in bringing down Merc and those who agree with him more than raising the level of discussion. You're being a hypocrite Redux.

I would suggest it is more calling him out for bullshit that he represents as facts rather than an attempt to bring him down.

But, hey, you are entitled to you own opinion.

Perhaps you can tell me how his "contribution" of 10 inane pics (one might be seen as funny...but ten?) contributes to a discussion or how it is constructive for him to scream "failed" when his snips are exposed for being less than factually correct or when I, or anyone, offer an opinion that differs from his?
