After seeing your accusations against Bob, I checked his postings and it looks like he posts on an array of subjects. I too, am sick to death of the killings I see and read about of black on black and black on white crimes every day that are getting no attention from the black community whatsoever. Then when something like this happens you can barely get words of sympathy out of your mouth before the race baiters come crawling out of the woodwork from the president on down to the local ones to turn it into a race thing and an agenda to take away our rights. This kid was on drugs and mentally ill.
“i don’t need to be associated with people like you on this site.”
Well, when you see bob has posted something, don’t read it. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me because to tell you the truth, attacks like yours, even though not directed at me, have almost made me leave this site. Trying to shut someone up goes against the grain to me.
I hear you! The seem to feel that they have the corner on some “special omniscience” wherein they have the right to tell you to shut up and leave. Just wonder if they shout down their pastor/preacher/minister/priest/rabbi when he broaches a subject they don't like.
Hi Mag-B,
I have to point out a couple things.
First, I don’t think I attacked in my post. If Bob took it personally, he hasn’t made that known to me. I simply pointed out what I think is an unusual posting pattern. FR *has* had an occasional troll over the years, but I didn’t accuse him of being one.
Second, the quote you attributed to me wasn’t me. That came from another poster and I didn’t say or imply anything like that.
Third, I’m certainly not trying to shut anyone up. If I have a problem with someone, I’ll normally take up with them via FReepmail which almost always resolves any conflict. I’m posting this in the thread to you because I want the record corrected on the mis-quote.
Fourth, I too get tired of daily political/media injections of racial division and strife while the ‘educated’ leadership ignores the real reasons for what’s going on.
The way hussein went straight for gun control within hours after the event was predictable but still disappointing. My take was that we FReepers should spend at least a little time in consideration of the dead before we do the same thing.
I’ll admit though, it all needs to be part of the conversation.
FReegards,
Kit
