404. Why are you being so uncivil? What do you hope to gain?

Thu Oct 25, 2012, 01:03 AM

Oct 2012

You've been here at DU for a long time. I don't remember interacting with you before, and I don't understand why you are playing a goading/baiting game with me.

Would you care to share your motivations for the way you are behaving?

Is it necessary for you to act this way? Does the fact that I am not a fan of your hero upset you SO VERY much that you'll repeatedly snark at me, childishly, in an effort to...what? Try to get a rise out of me, or something?

I've got to say--I'm surprised at some of the conduct on this thread. Yours is pretty unimpressive. I realize you've been here at DU a long time, but you're acting like a teenager.

Not a very nice or mature teenager, either.

One of the hallmarks of a real progressive is a tolerance for differing points of view. I don't mind if you have a different perspective than I do; but then, I have learned down the years that people are individuals and have their own reasons for the POVs they hold. You might do very well to take that lesson to heart.

There's one more debate to go. AtheistCrusader Oct 2012 #3

I think the only context for oil in a "Foreign Policy" debate will be in the context of WAR. MADem Oct 2012 #11

Wow. MM is fat? Fucking brilliant criticism. Way to link DirkGently Oct 2012 #53

Get over yourself--I wasn't linking to the article, I was linking to the PICTURE. MADem Oct 2012 #68

Oh boy. And Al Gore ate a sea bass, so Global Warming is a hoax, right? DirkGently Oct 2012 #128

Try to follow along. Michael Moore stole this "issue" from Al Gore. MADem Oct 2012 #130

Al Gore nichomachus Oct 2012 #60

You made my point. MADem Oct 2012 #72

You;re completely RIGHT! Hemp_is_good Oct 2012 #83

Well, I didn't say that either. Not even close. MADem Oct 2012 #85

then what did you post because all i see is tripe Hemp_is_good Oct 2012 #99

You have reading comprehension issues, then. MADem Oct 2012 #104

Great job of harming the president Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #169

He isn't affecting my vote for Obama. He's only harming himself, in my opinion. Zalatix Oct 2012 #181

That is your vote. There are other voters. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #185

I see your point. I did some of what you did Zalatix Oct 2012 #190

Your characterizations are untrue and rather pathetic. MADem Oct 2012 #184

Smug and clueless. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #186

"Those like you?" Really. How childish of you! MADem Oct 2012 #194

You were that Democratic headquarters' cross to bear. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #195

Oh we know you weren't one of the "headquarters" guys. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #247

"We" know what you're all about, too. Keep talking. It's revealing. MADem Oct 2012 #251

You make some very good points here. redqueen Oct 2012 #189

Thank you. I have no objection to the message. MADem Oct 2012 #200

That's because you are rude and condescending. /nt October Oct 2012 #206

Your comments are appreciated. MADem Oct 2012 #231

the thread has somewhat devolved into nonsense and namecalling, too hiphopnation Oct 2012 #237

It's always the way when that guy's name comes up. MADem Oct 2012 #241

Shoot the messenger, avoid the message altogether. Great strategy. NOT. Zalatix Oct 2012 #119

Put your little gun away. Your misrepresentation is deliberate, obvious, and tiresome. MADem Oct 2012 #126

You apparently have no choice but to retreat to personal insults and invective, ronnie624 Oct 2012 #142

Look who's talking! Nobody does it better than you! MADem Oct 2012 #146

Your words make sense. ronnie624 Oct 2012 #149

They are entirely consistent with the facts. MADem Oct 2012 #157

Just *saying* your words are consistent with the facts doesn't mean that they are. ronnie624 Oct 2012 #162

I'm entirely calm--you're the one playing tag team wrestling with your little friend. MADem Oct 2012 #172

Oh so now it's a conspiracy against you! Zalatix Oct 2012 #178

Why are you hyper-replying to me? MADem Oct 2012 #187

Hyper-replying? What does THAT mean? Zalatix Oct 2012 #191

You chase me all over this thread, and you try to incite a pile-on in very uncivil fashion. MADem Oct 2012 #203

You're all over this thread. Talk about hyper-posting. October Oct 2012 #210

I am the one who posted the argument in opposition to the OP. MADem Oct 2012 #213

Wrong. October Oct 2012 #387

I haven't insulted anyone. MADem Oct 2012 #388

Yeah, yeah, sure -- whatever you say, now...! MADem Oct 2012 #390

LOL you can DISH IT OUT but you can't take it? Zalatix Oct 2012 #151

I don't care what you think--but say, thanks for that great advice. MADem Oct 2012 #160

You care what I think. You keep responding. Zalatix Oct 2012 #164

I only respond when you write yet another falsehood about my perspective or person. MADem Oct 2012 #216

I already know peace. Michael Moore was not wrong. Not one thing he said was wrong. Zalatix Oct 2012 #298

Who save you said he was "wrong?" Stop making thing up -- it is so easy to see that's what you are MADem Oct 2012 #303

If he's not wrong then you have absolutely no case. Zalatix Oct 2012 #308

Are you leaving home? Is that your suit case by the door? MADem Oct 2012 #312

You don't even understand what the word 'case' means, do you? Zalatix Oct 2012 #327

I know it's not a synonym for OPINION--but you're acting like it is. MADem Oct 2012 #329

Your opinions are based on gross factual errors. That is being charitable. Zalatix Oct 2012 #331

Keep your charity--you plainly need it. And no, my opinions are grounded in facts. nt MADem Oct 2012 #333

You accused Michael Moore of stealing from Al Gore. This is factually untrue. Zalatix Oct 2012 #336

That's because MaDem has been nailed right to the wall. A temper tantrum was to be expected. Zalatix Oct 2012 #148

Every single time. ronnie624 Oct 2012 #152

Your fixation on me and false characterizations about me are very curious. MADem Oct 2012 #168

He's not dead. MADem Oct 2012 #236

You are shooting the messenger and NOT even remotely addressing the message. Zalatix Oct 2012 #275

No, I am not. MADem Oct 2012 #287

Yes, you are. Full stop. Zalatix Oct 2012 #299

No. And you're not "telling the truth." MADem Oct 2012 #300

None of these points are untrue: Zalatix Oct 2012 #306

Yes, they are untrue. And your claims are absurd in the extreme. MADem Oct 2012 #318

I cited your personal attacks. My claims are proven. You don't have counter examples. Zalatix Oct 2012 #325

Sorry--you are wrong. No sale. And you have a nice day too. nt MADem Oct 2012 #328

I am right and you are wrong. My cites are all true and logical. And you have no counter facts. Zalatix Oct 2012 #330

Yeah, sure, sure, whatever you say. MADem Oct 2012 #340

Clueless. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #173

I'm not finding your attempts at insult very interesting. MADem Oct 2012 #239

But it is a form of attention that you can't resist. Jakes Progress Oct 2012 #272

Wait, you started it with the insults. With several people, no less. Zalatix Oct 2012 #297

There you go again--making stuff up. MADem Oct 2012 #304

Here you go again - denying the facts. I hereby cite the proof that you instigate insults. Zalatix Oct 2012 #307

Get a grip. Really. That's not a personal attack, either--it's a genuine concern with regard to MADem Oct 2012 #338

It's a personal attack. And concern for others' well being? Physician, heal thyself. Zalatix Oct 2012 #339

Yeah, yeah, sure -- whatever you say, now...! MADem Oct 2012 #341

Absolutely. I think it is an important issue. MADem Oct 2012 #114

So you actually agree with the idea, but just think it should get in the closet until later. limpyhobbler Oct 2012 #116

No. You aren't doing very well telling me what I think. MADem Oct 2012 #121

Your point: 1) Don't bring up climate change right now. 2) Michael Moore is a lard ass. limpyhobbler Oct 2012 #139

No, and No. MADem Oct 2012 #150

Climate change should have been in the debates, and in the campaigns. limpyhobbler Oct 2012 #218
