I always ping someone if I'm talking about them. I can't say the same thing for folks like you, however.
Now, if by "manners" you mean "stop disrespecting McCain" (i.e. stop pointing out his blatant flaws), then that's not going to happen any time soon.
A bit of advice. Review your own posts. Take a look at the hostile and rude attacks. The shrill and unprovoked insults. I’m not talking about McCain specifically now. I’m not even talking about the crappy way you addressed me. I’m talking about what appears to be a true attitude problem you might want to address. FReepers respect one another. If you want some of that respect, you might want to tone it down. There’s no need to respond to a post you disagree with by slamming the person to the ground and pissing on them. It’s ridiculous. I don’t appreciate being called “slimy” or a “closet liberal”. As I stated, McCain has worked for this country his entire life in the best manner he knows how. What have you done, you whiny closet troll? I don’t appreciate YOU, little boy, calling ANY vet ANYTHING. You haven’t earned that right. You, ain’t even in long pants yet and your service to this country has yet to begin. So, ME generation, get off your wannabe intellectual high horse and take a lesson in humility when you address people on this forum. And if you think “not pinging” you to a post is equal in rudeness to being called “slimy”, and being attacked FIRST I might add, or any of the other lovely comments you’ve made to posters on this website, you’re in for a disappointing life.
