Some people are wired to take it as an inslut when someone disagrees with them.
When you disagree with me, I don't take it as an insult. When you call me a traitor, or an idiot, or a troll, "out of touch with reality," or an Obama supporter -- I take that as an insult. If you remember correctly, you spent quite a lot of time on a different thread calling me such names when I disagreed with your political thinking.
Insulting someone is a lot different than disagreeing with them.
I work hard at keeping anger out of my posts; if some FReepers are insulted by the fact that I disagree with them, that's out of my control and that ball is entirely in their court.
In post #247, for instance, did you write, “And to declare that this country couldn’t survive four more years of Obama, is the equivalent of a pup rolling over on his back and piddling all over the floor: totally submissive.” And then did you end that post with, another insult stating that the poster was so afraid? yup, you’re smoothe, but you’re still just insulting folks for not falling in line with your reasoning. I’ve had a couple more freepers use the same reasoning, that we should not vote for Rominy (rhymes with hominy, the tasteless corn product) to prevent Obama from winning because we are giving a mandate to Milt. Your premise assumes you know what the voting will be in each state, so you know how many votes should be withheld from Rominy so that if he cannot be allowed to win big (a false premise ont he face of it, the election is going to be a squeaker akin to 2004) so he won’t have a mandate. If folks don’t fal at your feet and worship your reasoning you resort to telling them they’re so afraid they’re like puppies widdling in fear? Yup, you’re a smoothe one, but you’re just insulting to try and shut opposition to your meme. But I will congratulate you on duping some freepers into using your same flawed reasoning. I had one earlier today trying to insult me with that meme. [Don’t get the big head now Finny.]
