Keeping with the “theme of the day”, what did you expect from a pig except an “oink”. They are reduced to cursing, slobbering, illogical remarks because they can’t stand the fact that they’ve backed ANOTHER loser. Can’t blame a pig for being a pig.......
I think Free Republic has been known to ban liberals who are considered to be “disruptive”. Jim Robinson considers this a conservative forum. We don’t all have to agree on everything, but we don’t need DU’ers here. They must have the same policy where you were posting. Posting at loony left blogs is a waste of time, IMO. you can lurk there to see what they say. But arguing with them is pointless.
It truly isn’t possible to debate with that lot. They can be teased for your own amousement, but that is a low form of entertainment - oh, what the hey, its fun anyway.
The best way to approach it is the “calm and reasonable”, “I’m-really-on-your-side-but” line.
In cases like this, run some lines like -
“You know, I appreciate all the anger and frustration here, but this just isn’t going to work. It just helps the other side, in fact I think its what they had in mind, they want everybody falling into that rage-trap and making mistakes.
Best to calm down and try to understand the other side, get some appreciation for where they are coming from, and think of arguments that appeal to people who aren’t like you. Maybe try to read some of the stuff that defines their world-view (give list of books).
And the attitude doesn’t work either. Calm, respect, and humility work a lot better. I suggest a look into Dale Carnegie.”
Yes I know, this will just drive them into greater fits. Good advice always does. But so be it. And there’s not a thing they can hit you with.
Heh. I got banned from the Fluffington Post my first time out. I dared make some comment about Jean Francois Kerry always dissing our troops and accusing them of atrocities in multiple wars.
Wear your ban as badge of honor.
Name calling, profanity, and slobbering on the keyboard are all accepted practices in liberal logic and discussion. This is the best they can muster. Attempt to discuss any issue that disagrees with homosexual perversion, or even use the word homosexual, and you will be banned from the San Fran Chronicle website. There are some sick people on that site.
For the left, politics is religion. Period.
But most (normal) Americans are able to keep their sense of humor, even if politics is important to them and the topic is edgy. Looks like you `blasphemed’.
(But put on your nomex underwear and check out one of the religion threads here sometime!)
