I give up, last visit to this impolite, rude, one-side
Posted: Nov 16, 2012
You have succeeded in your bullying take over. I sincerely wish good luck to you all and for the sake of this WONDERFUL, AWESOME country I live in, I hope you are all right.
God bless America and all of your children.

Its a question of approach, attitude and presentation. - On this board
[ In Reply To ..]you will typically get back what you give. Your OP is pouty, presumptuous, accusatory and juvenile. It's voice is that of a victim lashing out at perceived abusive tormentors who you characterize as rude, impolite, unfair, callous and cruel. It is the type of statement "bullies" rise up against in self-defense.
It also implies a myopic mindset that precludes productive two-sided dialog, which in turn calls into question the "sincerity" of pretentious best wishes and, instead, disintegrates into a prelude to invoke God and country on your way out the door.
I come to this board to discuss politics. You came to the board this morning to throw a tantrum. When children do that, they get a time out. As it stands now, you've saved us from that aggravation by calling your own.
A well-stated cover up of being a "bully" ones self! - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I did not come on this board this morning to "throw a tantrum" and you no more come here to discuss "politics" than you do to wipe your own nose. You come here to lash out at those who have differing opinions than yours trying to bully them into agreeing with you, just because you can attack someone anonymously without having to have a face to face encounter with them. This board is a place to unleash your own black soul's negativity against those who dare to speak differently on subjects that affect everyone...not just YOU. There is NEVER a two-sided dialog allowed on this board, as those of you who feel one way start bashing those that feel another way, using name-calling and schoolyard tactics to get your own way. Somehow this makes you feel superior to others, I guess, and you must feel so good about yourself in your own perception of "being right" all the time. The description you give of the OP as pouty, presumptuous, accusatory, and juvenile is nothing more than a mirror reflecting back your own qualities, trying to put the blame on someone else while it is you and those like you who are doing the deed. These are the traits of an abusive personality....when confronted with something negative they have done or said, quickly turn it back around on the accuser, thereby making themselves the "victim" and not the one that was wrong in the first place. It seems to me that you are the one throwing the perceived tantrum now, because someone happened to agree with someone else who dared to disagree with you. Some children, when doing that, get more than a time out, when they keep repeating their actions....they get a "spanking."
Who is trying to bully anyone into agreeing with them? - anon2
[ In Reply To ..]Is this just more sour grapes because Romney lost?
It has nothing to do with who won or who lost... - anon
[ In Reply To ..]this past election... way beyond that now! It has to do with some people on this board thinking they are right about absolutely ANYTHING, and going after those who even dare to disagree about ANYTHING. It does not matter what the subject is. It is cyber bullying at its finest. The first time anyone happens to disagree about anything, somebody else always jumps up with "sour grapes!" so sick of it! There is never a two-sided conversation on this board...it is always "my way or the highway," by most of the participants. name calling, baby games, finger pointing, victimizing.
you do an awful lot of finger pointing - jmo

I agree that there can be a lack of civility here - anon2
[ In Reply To ..]I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from as far as the "bullying" charge. Are you angry because it seems that the majority here do not have the same views as you do? There are some here who seem to feel victimized when they are presented with facts rather than political spin.
Exactly. You can say thay again! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I have no intent to let anyone bully me out of presenting and discussing well sourced facts or to back off from calling out the ENDLESS stream of inaccuracies, misinformation and, at times, deliberate bald-face lies, bigotry, racism and hatred, every time it's transmitted from the lips and fingers of conservative media sources and injected into political discourse while masquerading as "legitimate" political dialogue. This is especially true when it is directed at President Obama. I will NOT spend the duration of his second term enabling and enduring THAT kind of abuse against him or his supporters.
I get it now. One-sided is your answer. No interest in discussing or - facts from neutral sources
[ In Reply To ..]Democratic liberal or places like HuffPost, MediaMatters, Mother Jones, Paul Krugman, and others are your go-to died-in-the-wool truth sayers only.
What if neutral sources or any of your "well-sourced facts" give what YOU think are "inaccurate, misinformation," or "abuse" directed at the President? What will you do then? Where will you turn?
BTW, I haven't seen any bigotry, racism, or hatred from most of the articles I read. You must be dreaming up those articles. Would you like to post a few so I can read them?
I'm confused. You just described Republicans. - nm

whoa now - that was pretty abusive

Will you email me a link to this place? - ZvilleMT
[ In Reply To ..]I understand you can't post it, but would love to find a fair discussion board.
Thanks :)
I agree too - annieb - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I don't frequent as much as I used to. Just read down the board to see what was going on and it's now a liberal political board. The conservative just get bullied enough they leave. Some have stuck around, even dared to use their moniker, but again, they get ganged up and and bullied and pretty much told how insignificant their opinions or feelings are. Haven't been here in a few days (I think - been busy with other stuff), but things have not changed. Liberal posters are still beating up on conservatives. It's like the bullies from grammar school came here.
The only way all sides are going to be able to have any sort of fair conversations is to separate the boards.
Please don't think of yourself as a typical "conservative." - Some really can discuss honestly and nicely. Not
[ In Reply To ..]everyone thinks a good discussion is one that annihilates another viewpoint, and not everyone thinks the problem with America is 75% of its population.
Maybe if everyone who wants separate - boards
[ In Reply To ..]were to send an email to the moderator, they would be passed on to the webmaster and this could happen. I think years ago there were two separate boards - not sure why they combined them.
I don't know, but I used to come here when (sm) - Indy
[ In Reply To ..]there were 2 separate boards, and I didn't like it. It seemed like you couldn't have a healthy discussion/disagreement. But now it has gotten so bad with 1 combined board, that you can't have discussion anyway, because the liberals here - who are in the majority - make fun of, harass, and try to intimidate conservative posters no matter what trivial thing might be posted. There is no discussion to be had here, I only come rarely now. I used to be a regular several-time-a day poster. No more.
Again, you have described Republicans to a tee. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Are you living in some kind of parallel universe?
Done. - me

[ In Reply To ..]ALL the vampires congregate on THIS board! Agree with OP!
If we don't know who you are... - how can we miss you?
[ In Reply To ..]It might help if you would sign your post with a moniker, then we would know who we are not missing.
I left about a week ago. This is my first visit back. Nothing - changed. Follow me.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Send me an email of where you went - I want to come - annieb
[ In Reply To ..]I'm always looking for a good conversation about politics. What that means to me is sharing information, learning new things, and hearing what others have to say. Used to get that here a couple years ago, but it's all changed. There were even times I changed my mind on issues because posters would discuss things in a rational manner. Posters didn't make fun of others, didn't tow tow their website, but would just say, you know this is the way I feel about it and this is why.
I just read down the board this morning to see if there were posts about things I haven't heard of yet or just see what others are talking about. Instead I see posts criticizing conservative sites, but praising liberal sites. Insults and such negativity. Any time a conservative post something they are bullied, ridiculed. It's blatantly obvious liberals are not interested in having any kind of discussion about issues if it differs from their viewpoint.
I sent an email to the webmaster explaining this and why the boards really would be much more enjoyable if they were separated. Would make the moderators job a whole lot easier too. Hopefully he will take this into consideration.
I want to come too. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I would like to partake in a "civil" discussion, as well, learn new things I had not thought of, and not have to worry about what I am posting for fear of being "attacked/bullied/made fun of/ridiculed," etc. Some very condescending on this board, not to mention just plain rude! you can email me too, if you are of a mind to. Thanks.
Done. - me
[ In Reply To ..]sent you an email
Has it come to this? - Gone again
[ In Reply To ..]I come to this board from time to time. Most of the time, all I take away is a good laugh. There seems to be so much, "I know more than you," rage, Fox-Beck-Limbaugh minded posts, and much hysteria. I have never found much "political discussion", some "facts," but not much. The key is not to participate too much and try to change people's minds. It will not work. The insulting posts, even when they are disguised, do not really bother me. It just gets boring here for the most part, as well as exhausting to try to find some middle ground with people. I just state my opinion when I feel strongly compelled and do not argue with other's opinions or "facts."
Take a leave of absence from the silliness here once in a while.

Doctors VisitAug 13, 2013

He walked in asked what the problem was and then said well lets schedule some tests to see what is going on. He scheduled both an EGD and colonoscopy on an 18 year old. Never touched my grandson, never felt his belly. ...
