151. Why should you have responded?

Sun Jan 25, 2015, 01:49 AM

Jan 2015

Maybe because a discussion board is about discussion, and not just posting unquestioned monologues?

Or maybe because after you demanded that Manny give you information to back up his comments, and he did so, the adult thing to do would be to acknowledge that information and take a moment to at least attempt a lucid rebuttal?

If you make a post (outside of the BOG), expect more than just clapping and happy emoticons and various versions of "you said it!11!!". If you do not understand why you should have 'given Manny the time of day' after you demanded that information, then you don't understand how two-way discussion works.

And by the way, I don't see where MADem 'wiped the floor with' Manny; quite the opposite, in fact. I do see a bit of the usual giddy high-fiving from the usual giddy high-fivers, and a whole lot of serious goal post moving, but that's about it.
