(9,385 posts)of his attackers (the 1%). I feel the same about the small group of shit-stirrers here. As you said, it is a COMPLIMENT to be on their shit list.
They aren't driving me away though, from the party or the site. They can guess again, I'm not moving over one inch for them. And I'm not changing one bit what I think or say, to suit what they like. Oh, hell no. I might not start a flame war over everything they say that deserves it (on occasion though), or endlessly argue with them as they like to do, to run up the post count of their bullshit threads.
But when they pile on like this, oh yes, I will be there. Glad to see so many are here too. I find that very encouraging, actually.
To the bitter broad-brush fallacy-slingers, I would simply say this: you do not gain support from people by attacking them. It is called "cause and effect", it's no-brainer common sense. Call it "the tone argument" and laugh your ass off, and keep on ignoring that if you want, but don't be surprised to find yourself more and more on the fringe, and don't forget to put the blame for that squarely where it belongs -- on yourself. Don't even post as I have seen several times already "why doesn't anybody stick up for ME"? because I will be linking you right back here. You know why. You attack people, and you can defend yourself by yourself (as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sure many agree with that).
