Fungus, I'll come off here and be honest. While I don't really like msgtpain for the disagreements he and I have had in the past, I can still respect the guy for being what he is: He's not a dumbass, you are. He makes well thought out posts and is articulate while you go to some website like this:
Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. Conservative misinformation is defined as news or commentary presented in the media that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda.
and expect people to swallow it down like we're kids begging for milk at some birthday party where they don't serve it, and only give you some kind of juice instead?
|
Did you look at the site? All it does is show the guests that appeared on the various shows inauguration day. I fail to see how that can be biased.
Oh, and you think msgtpain is articulate? I laugh in your face.
| ACK |
I suggest you look at this and find ways to improve your forum... stance, for lack of a better word, so you'll not get hammered on so much. There IS a reason why most forum posters here tell you to STFU every time you post something, and these are the reasons why:
|
1a) Heavy-handed conservative ideology.
| ACK |
1) You don't make articulate posts. You simply agree with party lines and refuse to acknowedge that you're wrong in most cases. I could understand if someone didn't prove your guilt in being wrong, but every time I see this, you're beyond that point and continue to deny being wrong about something. This is why you get kicked from IRC because we're sick of seeing it over and over, and over, and over... and over...
|
I fail to see how you believe pain is more articulate than I am.
Oh, and speaking of not being able to admit incorrectness,
Do you or do you not have any reason at all to believe that the Clintonites trashed the White House before they left?
| ACK |
2) You don't think for yourself, and if you do, somehow your thought processes got switched around with the soul of a Democrat that was 25 years old when they died.
|
Thinking for myself and not believing in what you hold as an article of faith are two entirely different things, you know...
| ACK |
3) You refuse to accept that someone else might be right in most, if not all, arguments held in this forum. For example... THIS FUCKING THREAD.
Pain hammered your ass sideways, upside down, and even hammered your ass like a nail into a piece of plywood... and you still go "but you didn't read what I said, so raise the white flag or do something else that would make you look like the fool, and not I."
|
msgt failed to do anything but stick by a site that merely refers to vague, untraceable polls about how people feel the media is biased, not necessarily even liberally. In your OWN WORDS;
| ACK |
People "hear" lots of things but that doesn't make it true, now does it? I heard you're a purple monkey dishwasher, but that doesn't make you one simply because I heard so.
|
And he did indeed fail to read what I said. If you would go back and read what I said...
| ACK |
Okay... I figure this place is an area for discussion and free exchange of ideas. I have a set of rules on the RA forum that goes like this:
1. Respect the beliefs of everyone else. This is a discussion forum, not a "omg im right no matter wut" forum.
2. Be civil, or else I'll lay down the BanHammer on you for a while.
3. Keep your arguments focused on allowing a free exchange of ideas to ensue, not "well ur wrong cuz i think ur stoopid."
4. Have fun.
|
That's nice.
| ACK |
You violate 1 and 3 every time you post. Every one of your posts radiates that "I'm a fucking troller looking for fish to bite my lame arguments" kind of energy that shows all you care about is riling people up. You go into my IRC channel and talk about Rumsfeld having a case brought up against him in Germany AS IF ANYONE CARED! We're not there to fucking read your bullshit about politics. The ONLY time you bother going there is when someone like Aurora bans you from #n00bstories so you end up having to find another place to troll your fishing line at.
|
I have posted ONE political thought in #renalert. And Aurora never gives straight reasons as to why he bans me. I think he has an OCD that makes his mind light up in a frenzy whenever he sees my name.
I do respect the beliefs of other people. That in no way implies or states that I cannot argue against their opinion.
Heh, this is a good one. Have you yet to realize that I am one of the least slanderous posters on this forum? I recieve multiple insults in almost every countering post to mine, and yet how many times do I return them? Incredibly rarely.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
