Bye all. I'm done with this board.

Posted: Jan 14, 2013

No debates, just argumentative people who ridicule others here.

I found another political site that has sensible debates and don't ridicule those who have opinions differing from themselves.

Only a few I'll miss on here: RC, Trigger Happy, and The Sarge and a couple others that really don't use a moniker that I can remember. LOL

Good luck to those who decide to stay.

Sorry to hear it. - RC

We don't agree a lot of the time, but I will miss disagreeing with you, BT. :)

I'm happy you've found a board that works for you, but I hope you stop by from time to time and visit.

yep....another one bites the dust and they are - all doing the snoopy happy dance

all the people who like to ridicule and bash and bully have finally gotten to you, as well. I am sorry to see it happen. I wonder what they will do when there is no one left to argue with but themselves? I have been seeing less traffic here myself, and lately I only come here when I am looking to stir up a bit of trouble myself...unfortunately, it never fails. lol. they just don't get it. Anyway, I too am sorry to see you go. We all need a "happy place" to retreat to or we will get chewed up by the negativity, as well. I am glad you found yours. will miss you!

You only come here when you're looking to "stir up - a bit of trouble"?

You do all your fellow Rep posters a disservice.

Well, I'm a lib and I feel a little ***** sometimes myself. It's not limited - to the right. :) As for noting that

involvement has declined, I think it's pretty good considering the general election is over and the job of administering our country is what we have to discuss.

The Snoopy happy dance? - yikes

Persecution complex much?

I expect we'll see you back, anyway, BT. I have another - board I go to also, more well mannered,

[ In Reply To ..]
but I'm still here. This IS a heavily female-dominated board, and that certainly influences the political direction most of the posts are coming from (although it makes it hard to blame the frequent lapses in decency and good sense here on the male half of the population).

In any case, maybe this new board will top up your game and you'll drop by with some arguments on behalf of conservative positions that have to be taken seriously--because they're sensible, high principled, and based on facts.

Your last sentence - grits

Yes - I haven't replied because I couldn't think of a way to put that thought into words. Nobody wants this board to turn into an echo chamber, and I'd like to see more thoughtful debate from the conservative viewpoint.

GIGO isn't only for dictation/transcription.

I've never stayed long at a "liberal/progressive" board. - A mix of viewpoints is critical. My

problem always is with, not direction, but quality of input.

I would not classify this board as liberal - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
and quality of input varies with the poster - not the party. Everything goes pretty smoothly here until someone develops a distaste for accountability and confuses that with ridicule.

Of course not, because it is not. I was talking about - other boards I've visited. nm

You are one of the few posters why I come here to read. You bring excellent discussions and articles. It's unfortunate the childish mentality of the liberals on this board. I have never once seen any of them admit they are wrong about issues.

The liberal elistism attitude phenomenon is hitting the country and it's not a good thing. I've seen you try to have many discussions and share articles only to be ganged up on and ridiculed. I guess they think it's a liberal only board, and bash anyone with a different opinion with the "my links are valid and yours are not. When newspapers used to be liberal leaning, but now speak out against what is going on, all of a sudden those same sources are no longer "valid" in their minds. I even saw one poster who basically said its okay that Obama is lying. One of those things that I'm waiting to hear "well it's okay if Obama orders the death of people because situations change"

The liberal mental illness is chilling for sure. If you've notices I have not been on the board lately. I only come here now when I want to hear crazy talk and sure enough they never disappoint.

I'll send you a personal email. Would love to keep in touch, see where you go. I'm in dire need of some real adult political conversations. It's not here anymore.

wow. - sm

you can really pack in the insults, Sarge. I don't think liberals are your problem.

wow back at ya - The Sarge - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Childish mentality - you just proved it and so did the others who can't handle a difference of opinion.

Liberal elitism - yup, not an insult, you should be proud to wear that title.

Ganged up on and ridiculed - proof is on this board.

Bash anyone - yup - read the replies to anything BT or any other conservatives writes.

My links are valid and yours are not - yup - read the replies to anything BT or any other conservatives writes.

Liberal mental illness - yup. Read the board and read up what psychiatrists write about it.

Crazy talk - yup just read through the board.

You all should be proud. You've done your job very well at driving another person who doesn't share the liberal opinion off of this board.

I actually very rarely come to this board anymore. No problems here, but it does appear that people who have a different opinion than you do are your problem.

Thanks for a great example - grits

[ In Reply To ..]
of GIGO (garbage in/garbage out). That's a fine cross-section of your typical posts, IIRC, so it's no wonder that's all you see when others post.

And here we have it - The Sarge

[ In Reply To ..]
Was wondering how long, ABWC. Didn't take long, MIIA, YTAAAB.

Just was calling it as it is.

guess you only come here to stir up trouble - too?

[ In Reply To ..]
Like your counterpart admitted to?

Grits pointed out your words, not hers.

Did I respond to you? No I did not. I responded to BT - If I wanted to stir up trouble - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Oh boy would I have a field day, but no, having a difference of opinion than you do is not called "stirring up trouble". It's too bad that you cannot handle a difference of opinion. That has been demonstrated time and time again. When all else fails and you cannot discuss issues the liberals resort to name calling and ridiculing. The whole board is full of it. And then as we have a prime example here, out come the cheerleaders to bully. Had enough bullying of cheerleaders in high school. Didn't think it continued on after high school.

Oh yeah, and guess what. I don't really care what Grits pointed out, since she is wrong and if I wanted to address her I would, but I didn't. I replied to BT.

Have yourselves a Merry little liberal politics board. If your liberal that's great, you've found a place to call home. If you're conservative/independent good luck.

actually, Sarge, you did address grits - oops

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't see the name-calling and ridiculing you speak of, in spite of your merry little post.

No, my original reply was to BT - If you are continuing to look for a fight

[ In Reply To ..]
It's not here.

Have a nice day.

Well, if she was wrong, you were wrong because they - were your words NM

This board? Is not that bad. You should see some of the other, less-moderated boards out there.

I have posted here and there but found the people on here to be very disrespectful and childish, except for a select few..I love a good political argument, especially with people that can back up with facts and not nasty comments

Lets try to get back to topics, instead of calling conservatives trolls and all the other derogatory comments. Sure maybe your side thinks its funny. Well actually they do becuase you pat each other on teh back about what a great insult that was, but what it boils down to is that it is quite immature. Most of the posts are cutting others down. The term "teabaggers" is also offense and those who post know this. They are just trying to get a rise out of people. ...

I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy. This is my issue. When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state (wh ...

someone called the Trump family beautiful and the Obamas plug-uglies. I find this comment so despicable I wanted to post about it again. The Obamas are a beautiful family with no, repeat NO personal scandals over the past 8 years. Compare this to Donald Trump who impregnated his second wife while he was married to his first wife and is now on his third and who has bragged about groping women while he was married to his third. This is only one small defect in the totally flawed ...

They're certainly not posting anything of substance here. If all they want to do is criticize about nonsensical, inconsequential things, maybe they should commiserate in their own self-pity on their own board. Maybe they can come to some conclusions and come up with solutions to help themselves be positive and forward-thinking.
