Problems on the forum

Your point, not mine.. my point was ..hey TJ, look, we agree..

 

Did you? I'm not trying to tear you down, I asked you a question..

I don't see it as an insult, you intend it as an insult, and see it as an insult. Not me. I'm sorry, I don't see it as such.. If I figure out some way for you to insult me where I also see it as an insult, I'll let you know..

I thought you said it's all about the intention?

 

Look Wez, I will try again.

Yes, you have great points sometimes but you ruin them by wrapping them in dog crap.


You start out your comment with something that looks like agreeing with me then ruin it with an attack on me. It is all a part of the other. It is like starting to give someone flowers just to end up slaping them in the face with the same flowers.


If you want peace, so do I. Out of the two of us only I have tried to compliment some of your points and tried to explain where I have issues with you. I am very open to trying to get past the garbage but this has to be a two way street.

 

Thanks for your input.. I know what I meant.. You flew off the handle.. I agreed with you for craps sake and look what you've done the last two days.

Don't take anything I say so personally.. Your reaction tells your intentions for me, not mine for you.. Two way street and no double standards whined into reality and I'll be fine.. And for God's sake, give IWS a break.. his patience has been commendable..

I don't want you banned TJ.. you make me laugh... I think I lost 4 pound today.. my side hurts.

 

Serious question here wez:
What exactly is so bad about being called a "liberal" if most of your political views do indeed line up with liberals?

Extraordinarily accurate point.

 

My question is...

Is it really that bad of a thing to be called a liberal even if most of your political views don't line up with liberals?

It's not like calling a black person the "n" word or anything.

 

I don't know, you'd have to ask TJ.. I don't recall ever really having a problem with it. Nor do I go around calling people liberals.. I get called liberal. I don't have a problem with a word..

For the blind...

 

I dunno either. I didn't think the issue was actually about the word "liberal" until TJ said that is what it was. I have no doubt that wez saying it to TJ was intended as an attack, but thought the issue was more about the combative spirit of the reply than the word itself.

That is inaccurate. You have many times said you aren't a "word," but instead you are a "wez", and I have seen you tell Tj not to label you as such.
In debates, especially political ones, it is helpful to know (and yes, even label) the parties involved, in order to follow their thought processes without them having to explain every single political view every single time. Know what I mean?

I do it more mentally than in writing, but I most definitely keep track of my fellow debaters stances on things- to better understand their viewpoints.

Do you deny that these type of fights follow you around to every board you are active on?

 

What you think about it = sh*t. It had nothing to do with you. TJ's label, not mine. Open your eyes already eddo.. If agreeing with TJ is an attack, what do you suggest?

I hereby label thee, dumbass.

Only way to do that is ask, not attach whatever you don't like to a word and create reality..

Course not.. Hypocrites everywhere. Be alert!
