Just because you're dumb as sh*t...

The problem I see is that you also engage in attacks and insults.. As have I. We each have the opportunity to end a discussion whenever we want and disengage instead of carrying on page after page. Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk away from a discussion in which there can be no positive outcome. I know for me, that can be difficult to do, but something that might actually be helpful to keeping things in a better trajectory here. It is worth a try…

I guess that all depends on your definition of what a positive outcome is.

To me a positive outcome is a discussion where people engage in an exchange of views, of substance..

You?

 

[PhilFish]

Dear lord…..my words without a doubt have fallen on deaf ears. You go Phil. You win . Not sure what the prize is, but hoping it brings you comfort.

I wasn't trying to win anything. I asked you, an adult, for your opinion on a photograph. You can't do it because you're afraid of your cohort.

It is a picture of ocasio Cortez standing on a carpet.

One of your cohort pretends that it's ocasio-cortez standing on pelosi's desk inside of pelosi's office

Which do you support? Your answer is the answer to the problems here

Several have moved onto other forums.

There's 1 where no libs are allowed. There's another where race-baiting and insult hurling is unrestrained. They love that.

Sure. I believe there are times when one should just walk away from a discussion, instead of working diligently on poking with a stick.

Excellent. I agree
However in this instance we're illustrating, in our exchange, why the site is deteriorating

And you just contributed to it yet again.

Honest adults would simply answer the question at hand.

Ok. By the way…insulating has been hurling and unrestrained here as well. I have frequented forums that are heavily moderated and I have had lovely conversations with those some might refer to as liberals. Sadly, the point I have tried to make here is not one there seems to be any interest in hearing.

I have NO interest in getting in the middle of your battle with Dawg. You are both adults and should be able to act accordingly. My honesty is not dependent upon engaging that shitshow.

Please stop saying I am “afraid”. I do not feel the need to “support” either you or Dawg in your battle. I do believe, as a Moderator it might be wise if you were the one who walked away instead of trying so desperately to make the battle prevalent. I think you both need to just move on….

The point that those who left took responsibility for their own actions and are not at fault?

I'm not having any battle with dawg. Dawg is driving the site into the ground. It's interesting, your premise for entering this thread was to chastise me for the supposed deterioration of this site

It's really odd that you can't take a stand in its favor then...

I'm not trying to make any battle prevalent. There's no battle on my part. I'm simply not allowing someone to propagate a lie.

Again, your premise was that this site is deteriorating. A simple step to move it in favor of improving, would be to support honesty.

 

[bdtex]

By the way…insulating has been hurling and unrestrained here as well.

Not if it gets reported.

Now somebody's getting it...

What I take away from this exchange is that the point you're trying to make here is that people who lie should be allowed to lie so as not to make them feel bad about their lie.

That's patently absurd

@bdtex

Another shit thread. Do me a favor and trash heap this one.

All those in favor of elevating this site can pursue this there if they desire

Oh..I believe we ALL are responsible for own actions. No doubt about it. Those we left made their decision to do so, as do those who remain.

To place the blame at the feet of one person is very disingenuous. I didn’t “chastise” you. One just needs to go back and read my posts to see that I clearly said numerous times that many have played a part in the deterioration of this site.

Ok. Problem solved I guess.

If that is all you got out of our conversation then it’s apparent that nothing will change the direction of this forum.

Sounds like a good plan.
