"You've obviously been a victim of crime time and time again which has resulted in your own perceived poverty,..
No, quite the contrary. As one who has had successful businesses in moderate to high crime areas, crime being cause poverty is the result of my observation.
And just so you don't think I'm being rude..
As a matter of fact I do think you're rude. I think you're obstinate and intend to remain ignorant for as long as you can."
Are posts moderated when personal attacks happen? I'm not sure how to contact a Moderator/Admin-type. This guy won't leave me alone, for some reason.
Anyone?
Most of the time, but arguments are rarely considered to be personal attacks.
I'm not sure how to contact a Moderator/Admin-type.
It's the "Report Abuse" button on the end, at the bottom, of each post. Hit it anytime you want, I really don't care.
However, if the moderator looks at my first post to you at #4, they'll see it was on topic and not in any way a personal attack. Actually, the post agreed with you. However, at your #13 post to my #9, you reply to me: "Well, Lucy...how do you 'splain the fact that Clinton's HQs are in Harlem? Kinda shoots that theory down.", is your post that began the discussion devolving into diatribe. I should have pushed the "Report Abuse" right there. Yours wasn't reply, but a form of ridicule toward me with a bogus context. By your standards that would have been abuse and I should have pushed the "Button" on you.
Manners, rather than slapstick, work well on the forum, even in disagreement. Tends to keep the "'splainin'" to a minium, "Lucy".
BTW, I agree that Oxfam cons fish from those who have fish, with the promise that they will give the fish to those who have no fish. But instead, Oxfam eats the fish themselves and then points to those who still have fish that there are still those without fish. In short, what Oxfam does is a crime.
