How Sarah Did It...Debate Flow Chart

[Puckstop31]

So why wasn't RICHARD receiving similar comments from you two when he posted "Sarah Palin is a DOLL?"

Maybe your combat roles have added a natural attack response in addition to your post-secondary education. (I have only a BA myself).

So - maybe I will give myself and my eyes some peace and quiet and put you both on Ignore. How many is that for you now, Puck? 3 or more including me.

We're all out of step except you.

And yes, you DO come across as antagonistic, even if you don't mean to. Might want to look into info or workshops on communication styles, and communicating. That's not taught in any university that I know of.

Cheers.

Richard is way better at non verbal communication than I. I fully admit to my failings in that regard.

I post here mainly because it is an environment where my points of view are not in line with the general population. (That is where the "all out of line, except you" comes from...IMO) Nothing gets accomplished when you just preach to the choir. You all can continue to do so, if it makes you happy.

Like it or not, life is tough. Also, it is in my nature to fight the good fight. Doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing to do.

In the end, I hope I am wrong. I hope that our leaders are not leading us down a path to the abyss. But history and life expereince screams at me otherwise.

So basically you come here to preach to all of us lost souls...give me a break if anything you are cinching my vote for Obama.

Puckstop, you should have had several classes on communication while in the military. It is part of every NCOES course that the army has. Remember, there are three parts to every message, the speaker, the listener, and the message. If the speaker does nothing more than antagonize and irritate the listener, the message, regardless of how important or valid it is, is lost.

Congratulations, you've lost the listeners. Your style is combative, which works fine on the playground, but not while discussing topics with adults.

I have managed through the several years I have been a member of this board, to get my point across WITHOUT antagonizing the listener (Except when I do so on purpose ) It's one thing to disagree with the general population on the board. It is quite something else to stick around someplace where you've managed to irritate the majority, and still try to prove your point. You get nowhere, because your message is lost in the noise caused by the fact that you've annoyed everyone.

Dig out your PLDC books and read the sections on psyche....might do you some good.

Hear Hear, we often differ in political opinions but I am always open to your intelligent posts.

Ummm, NO. Not preach. Discuss.

Don't vote for OB because "the other side" are jerks. Vote for the guy you BELIEVE in.

I've got a lot to learn, that is for sure.

Sorry that I come across the way I do.
