If you post on a forum you are a politician and thus your views can be disagreed with.

Not my dog! She's adorable.

I have a cat But he is rather handsome.

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Your dog is ugly?

Okay, now you've done it!

(Actually, I'm the ugly one.)

Really, you are insulted by a figure of speech that is used quite frequently? Are you a liberal? Out of this thread...you are too whiny for me to deal with. And you never answered my question about "which side" I am. Should I find that insulting?

Actually I don't give a shit, just pointing out that that you use personal insults without even thinking about it yet were upset someobody told you couldn't post even though no action was taken.

Sorry your wittle bitty feelings were hurt. I will be the first to admit I am not very PC. Especially toward people who declare war on me like you did the other day because you were pissed off at my comments on the Cucinnelli threads. Hey...we are not all perfect.

Sorry I declared war on you Politically because I strategically I consider you a political enemy just a I do hillary or Christie. Sorry it bothered you but get over it. It is nothing personal. I don't even know you, you are just a political opinion to be countered.

 

[Carlybee]

Where did I say you couldn't post? I disagreed with your posts and didn't agree that you should have posted but I never once reported you to a mod to stop you so and get over it. Which by the way referencing someones "panties" is a personal insult. What do Panties(female undergarmets) have to do with a politcal discussion?

It's okay to use male undergarments though?

It is friggin politics pull up your big boy panties

Why am I a political enemy? I am here to get Rand Paul nominated. That doesn't mean I support everything people tell me to do along the way, but suit yourself. If you target me I will simply put you on ignore.

I thought you weren't sure whether you'd support Rand or not?

 

[klamath]

What does this mean? . Context.. it is something you should learn. much like if a black person walks down the street and sees his black friend and says "what you doing ******" versus a white guy in a white hood saying the same.

 

[Carlybee]

I thought you weren't sure whether you'd support Rand or not?

Um where did I say that? I wasn't happy after Ron's campaign about certain things that happened but I never said I wouldn't support him. I've donated to him as well as to Amash, Massie and some of my state and local liberty candidates so I'm not sure where you got that unless it was something I said right after the campaign. I was pretty disgusted with the whole Benton stuff and wasn't sure at the tim I would vote GOP again for anybody.

Huh?

I am pro-personal attacks.

Too many people post all sorts of bullshit hypocritical opinions, and should be called out for their hypocrisy.

Oh, and nobody that has a life outside of politics reads these boards anymore. Only political junkies do, and their minds are already made up. All the arguments about what outsiders will think are baseless attempts to shut an opponent up in some kind of group-think policing.

Moderated forums are an example of libertarian philosophy failing in real life, because the blind spot in all utopian philosophies is people are people, and nasty little animals; the nastiest, most deceptive, most murderous on the planet. Millions of people have been killed trying to settle the arguments presented here. There is every level of attempts to inflict pain when it comes to politics, from an underhanded insinuation of feeble mindedness to napalm.

Also, expert trolls can levy personal attacks all day, and get away with it because they know just how far they can push the envelope and get away with it. When I see that bullshit, I just prefer to bluntly punch them in their smarmy face and call them an asshole, then try to make fifty sly insinuations they are an asshole.

And don't forget, forums are for people who love anger. They come here to either get mad or vent.

So fuck all you self-righteous pharisees that think your insults are slightly less severe than your opponents'. An insult is an insult, no matter how prettily you wrapped it up.

Nobody, but NOBODY has whined more than you when I've made a comment directed toward you that even hazily hints at being an insult. And one of them was specifically about you being very hypocritical.

 

[UWDude]

Was that a personal attack?

 

[UWDude]

Those are the worst kind. the hallmark of pro-trolls. Hazy personal insults, meant to detract from the argument, meant to insinuate stupidity, or childishness on the part of your opponent, but still miss the eye of the moderators. The insults and personal attacks that are hazy are the ones you little insincere shit-heads on forums are best at. That's why you use them, because you know you can get away with them.

And one of them was specifically about you being very hypocritical.

I point out insults for a reason. It is so you can then know why I am going to whip your little ass, and not pull any punches. I am not "whining" about them, I am pointing them out, so when you get all butt hurt, and go crying to mommy-moderator about my personal attacks, you will know damn well why you got personal attacks from me. You get them from me, if and only if, you make the first personal insult. It doesn't matter if it's a blunt "fuck you" or a post that claims I am "whining" about something. They both are personal attacks, and I will reply with a personal insult back, if I feel it is worth my time to call out some troll's bullshit.

 

[Ender]

Not at all- just wondering if you were OK.

 

[UWDude]

No, you thought you could post a cliche tired joke that hints my mental or emotional faculties are not complete because I typed something you do not agree with. I've been on the internet long enough to know your faux concern is an attempt at insulting and belittlement. I know next you will try to claim it truly was innocent, without a hint of jest, and that you really do care for my well being, and I will tell you you are full of shit. The difference between your argument and mine in this case will be, mine is truthful, whilst yours is deceptive.... ...and I must add, mine is fairly uncommon, whilst yours is common bullshit typed by every day, sometimes verbatum, by the various dunderheads that can only conclude someone is unhinged if they do not agree with their own personal point of view. It ranks right up there with the old "you need to get back on your meds, no seriously, I am concerned" tripe lesser intellects like yourself type, convinced it is still funny, even though that joke stopped being funny after it was typed the one millionth time on a forum, 15 years ago.

Politicians run for political office. We aren't politicians.

This forum has been divided since Rand Paul became the focus of political campaigning, because he has taken some positions, and made some statements, that have given a number of us pause, while others are either okay with those positions/statements, or believe it to be "political maneuvering". The only people I have trouble with in terms of the liberty movement are those who are okay with those positions/statements.

Moreover, there are those who believe that the alpha & omega of the liberty movement is political action (Collins, et al), and who disparage those of us without inclination in that regard, and prefer focusing on changing minds. This has been true as long as I've been here, but only became a problem since, again, Rand became the focus of political campaigning.

Just my opinion, and I'm not sure what we should do to bridge the divide...
