In reply to the discussion: For Those Who Don't Feel 'Counter-Bullying' is "Appropriate"; [View all]ellisonz
(27,776 posts)41. "Since I'm not a bully, that doesn't work on me."
Actually, you are a bully, to the point that you've threatened another poster on an internet message board.

219. Your perception of gun-owners is so twisted there's no reasoning with you.

You're full of it and you know it. I've proven it.
You have no support at all for your twisted characterization of people you don't know and have never met. There is nothing 'honest' or 'earnest' about deliberately characterizing others as 'crazy' while refusing to discuss or debate the actual point of the thread.
Again, here is the challenge you ran away from:

I'm going to put that to you in every gun thread I find you posting in to demonstrate your abject lack of reason and willingness to engage in any kind of constructive discourse.
It is very disturbing to me that someone can be so convinced of something they can't actually demonstrate because their perception filters prevent them from actually reading, thinking, understanding, and applying reason of any kind. You're just the sort of person who behaves the way you do only because the internet allows you to get away with it. If we were face-to-face, you would actually feel the shame of deliberately refusing to back up your own assertions. But the internet allows you to believe you are something you are not.
I'd love to meet in person and have this exact discussion someday. We'd put it on youtube and then we'd all see who the irrational one is. Thing is, I know to a certainty that you would behave very differently in person... especially if you knew you were being video-recorded.
Assuming you are no coward, I'll let you know when I can come around your area. We can talk terms and make a nice lunch out of the occasion or something.
Sound good?

Actually the Neocons bullied this country into two wars because NO ONE stood up to them.

No, it's not 'verifiable' to those who cannot understand the science behind it.

It's unfortunate that sinking to 'animal' behavior is the only thing that tends to work.

I disagree with the term counter-bullying. A credible "deterrent" is sufficient to stop a bully.

I wouldn't call it "counter-bullying". I just call it "taking up for myself" and you are correct....

There is a profound difference between force and violence. Force is appropriate.
