That is my nature and maybe I can do that in the future.
I never deserved the abuse I got here. I don't think you ever doled any abuse out to me, so that is not directed at you. I am not whining about it but hey if people are going to behave that way I am not going to trust them. The worst part of it is when they try to tell me it's my own fault that they dole out abuse, specifically changing whatever the subject is to something about me, personally. I cannot respect anyone who stoops that low both in terms of their lack of personal integrity and the sheer stupidity of the thing. Then, because I disagree with them, they call me names like "corporatist" or whatever. It's exactly what LaRouche cultists do when I walk by them and don't take their idiotic propaganda.
That behavior is sociopathic and inexcusable. Their atrocious behavior is theirs, not mine, and they have no business thinking they can convince me that I have a problem. They act out their own insecurities and their own b.s. and I will never tolerate that even if I have to restrain myself here. That isn't political. It's appropriate. It's common decency. The fact that this is an anonymous internet board is irrelevant. The behavior is inexcusable.
What makes it more deplorable is that the people who behave this way aren't needed, for anything. They are marginal and that is a fact. They have behaved this way for many years now and we have moved forward just fine without them proving that they're marginal. We will continue to move forward too, because we Democrats are correct. We have it right. If they want to move forward and help us move forward then they join us, not the other way around. They are a minority of our party, and we have a democracy. Unless and until they can muster a majority, that's the end of that. And if they think they can muster a majority by abusing liberals like myself, they are truly pathetic.
I will respect people here who are reasonable but I doubt that I will ever trust people here the way I once did. I have plenty of friends who discuss matters the way I deem appropriate.
