“Attacking me won't fly either...”

Allow me to start: You're a twit.

You post a foaming at the mouth screed about a woman that 99% have forgotten about, if they remember the news in the first place. You are all emotion like someone who is on PMS and drunk while typing on Facebook about how her man dropped her.

Rather than bang the keyboard, why don't you do a total rewrite and try and bring people some knowledge? Then they won't consider you a two knuckle deep nose picker.

Start with who Jill Metzger is. I had to look her up to find out what set you off. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Metzger). Then advance to what the controversy was on her disability pay. Then maybe the politics behind bringing her back. Then add in what the troops were saying and what the papers did in response.

Then, don't insult everyone on a message board by calling them liars and deniers and dismiss everyone who doesn't see things 100% your way right off the bat. It only makes people dislike everything you type and want to disagree with you even though they don't know what is going on.

If you type like a teacher sharing knowledge and not like a taunting child, people will read what you want to say and consider it with an open mind. Be objective and save your opinions.

Advance facts and support your views with them. By bringing the topic to a higher level you not only will convince people and educate people, you might reach others who might have additional information on the topic that can expand your fact base. As it is, your post is a failure and will die a well deserved early death unless someone else brings facts to the table.

If you are passionate on the topic, and it appears you are, take your time, edit your own work, and seek to pass knowledge, not gas.

Good luck.

Good reply. This is a newbie. (by sign in date anyway)

Me too.

Perhaps that was the desire all along.

Overall, I wasted good popcorn and beer jpgs.
