No one here will ever accuse you of being fair, open minded, reasonable, or otherwise open to compromise or negotiation. You are an intolerant and pig-headed impertinent little martinet, all the time, in all circumstances. It no doubt arises from your self-evident moral certainty and unquestioned intellectual superiority. I must admit, you've really surpassed yourself this time. Most people delusional enough to have such an exaggerated sense of their own infallibility are at least subconsciously aware how imbecilic it sounds to others, particularly when uttered out loud by the victim himself. Narcissism and paranoia. Classic. Tom, don’t worry. No one here will ever accuse you of being fair, open minded, reasonable, or otherwise open to compromise or negotiation.

Narcissism and paranoia. Classic.

(how Eri hated that that phrase!) I was trying to lighten up the thread. It's my rant and I'll do with that as I wish...just like someone else I know. Because I do not take myself as seriously as others may. I love to laugh. At alot of things. How I roll… (how Eri hated that that phrase!)

I was trying to lighten up the thread. It’s my rant and I’ll do with that as I wish…just like someone else I know.

How did you put it, you work hard to take each post and poster seriously, and they don't do the same for you? This is neither a serious nor a relevant reply to a post which was a reasonable reply to yours. Remember the comment about our training people do respond to us the way they do? As for me, no matter how hard I work, no matter if I give 110%, type my fingers to the bone, it's not appreciated. I'm ignored, slighted, shunned, and otherwise maligned simply because I express my opinion. People just don't take me seriously. Despite all I do for them.

Something you've undoubtedly felt all your life. But then all at once it turned into a political attack. It seems that if one doesn't agree with the selfishness and greed built into the Conservative point of view, they have attacked you. No matter how hard you work for them, no matter what you do. At least that's how I read it, and I hope I'm wrong. I, personally, have my doubts about Conservatives, and how they are willing to throw so many people under the bus. At least those at home. And they are willing to shoot, bomb and maim in other ways innocent people with whom they don't agree abroad. Torture 'em and lie about it. I do think there is something missing in those folks. And I have Conservative friends, one bought and gave me my little RV, and I think there's something missing in them. I have very strong opinions which I express around here. I'm tolerated for having those opinions, and not liked for the way I express them. That's a price I pay. I'm extremely left-wing, not by choice but driven by a conscience, compassion and empathy. And the response to me is a reasonable response from reasonable people. I don't blame them. We all train others to respond to us the way they do. Accepting responsibility for that is what adults have to do. You can do whatever with your panties, Jody, but I don't think I completely understand you. At least I hope not.
