General discussion

This has been a pleasant visit

May 12, 2006 8:29AM PDT

I entered this forum with opinions apparently unpopular with some of the folks who reside in this dark place.
I have been personally attacked, sworn at (thinly veiled as my eight year old pointed out), threatened with being shunned or worse banished, and now they want to take out my feeding tube. Fascism, bigotry and ignorance are trusted friends here.

In '1984' a free mind was the enemy of the state. I better check my calendar.

.... I can't recall anyone else making this statement:

" Fascism, bigotry and ignorance are trusted friends here."

That is insulting to all of our members, not just those you accused of attacking you.

Consider that it is not only they who might need to word their disagreements better, but you, as well.

Are you saying what I think you are?

Fascism? First the whole pack notion is just BS. Second, you need to support that overtly offensive slam. Better yet, retract it for the inflammatory slam that it was Sad

Entire membership?
May 12, 2006 12:44PM PDT

If he had left out the word fascism, then IMO his post seems right on que, and is directed towards 3-4 members who offended him, some who like to post on occasions as being the entire membership.

Your animus towards me shows.

Sorry, I'm late with this post, I was eating supper (not dinner). Wink
