"disrespectful malcontent"


I am SICK of the double standard that exists in the doghouse. It is FINE for RICHARD to call me all sorts of things, yet I am "not nice" or being rude when I retort.

Look, don't you people have anything better to do than gang up on me? Don't you have soldiers to write to and flags to wave???

I know I have a few soldiers to write to, my family. I'm sick of you accusing me of anti-Americanism and being unpatriotic when I have to watch what's going on and worry about my family.

Freedom of speech does not apply to a privately owned website.

I made an attempt to apologise and talk things out with you via PM. But you refused because you THRIVE on this.

Why don't you leave or start talking about your cat for once.

[mugsy]

We are ALL worried. I'm sorry you have family there fighting, but, I don't think that badmouthing pro-American stances helps any, especially on a board that is made up mostly of Americans. The tone of this thread was SUPPOSED to be positive and suddenly it's not and that happens ALL the time. Let's just rejoice in the fact that these people have found their dreams and can live where they want to and enjoy freedoms that they may never have had before.

[Soledad]

Well, Mugsy, it helps ME. It helps me to know that there are some people out there with the integrity to not be silenced. I have a personal stake with my cousins' lives, and if I do not speak up and say that I think that they have been put in harm's way for invalid reasons, I could not forgive myself if something should happen to them.

I am sickened that there are people here who feel that they can question my patriotism when they don't even know my first name. I have voted ever since I was eigtheen, received a scholarship to Case Western, worked in politics, volunteered for campaigns and soup kitchens, had most of my family serve and have two family members currently in this conflict...and you people sit on your computers and make judgements about my patriotism!! Disagree with my points, but do not make personal jugdments.

[mugsy]

Ok, but, what good is it doing NOW? I understand that you do not think that this war is valid, you have made that abundantly clear, just as I have made it abundantly clear that I think that it is valid, but, why not start a thread about it instead of putting it on the threads that were meant to be positive in this time of worry for all of us, but most especially those with family members there fighting. I don't know your cousins and would never try to second guess their thinking, but I know a lot of military people and what you are saying would offend them mightily. I know a lot of them almost take it personally that they are fighting for nothing. Look at Ms. Lynch....I would guess that she would not like to hear or read some of the things being posted on here, when she just spent 2 weeks as a POW.

   It is not fine for Richard to insult Soledad or anyone else. It is not fine to insult Karen. Let me be clear, since some are having a very hard time understanding. It is not fine for anyone to insult anyone else.

where do i send the blender...


thank you Paul, strike two for me!!

[Soledad]

I have to question RICHARD's sincerity. Earlier this week I tried to PM and have a constructive discussion with him and asked him if we could work things out. He refused. I do not believe he is here to talk about pets or be nice.

[mugsy]

Ok, Karen and I tried to get back to the original thread...am I to assume that it's not open for discussion anymore?

And that's been the whole aim of the Dog House as I remember it. Can we agree to keep it to issues, not personal attacks? It hurts to see people attacking each other and demeans the content of the original thread content.

I tried to contribute but got so paranoid that I'd be flamed with agro PMs or personal attacks and I'm not the only one who feels this way. Or maybe I should keep away? Please let me know.

[RICHARD]

for the record

I am willing to discuss things with you in a more civilised way. Why do you not want me to PM you? Would you rather drag this out with an audience?

NO THANK YOU,
I figured it would be rude not to respond and I have no desire to
have an audience.

I am ruder when people aren't looking, it's that stupid and evil side of me that likes to eff with people, and it's for your proctection.........my fingers type bad words and slurs if i am not careful. Also it just takes a few keystrokes to edit a message and make it look like a person is sending you rude PM's.

I WILL NOT PM YOU ANYMORE
I WILL NOT PM YOU ABOUT THE WAR
I WILL NOT ARGUE POLITICAL NEWS
NOR WILL I ARGUE HISTORICAL VIEWS

I DO NOT LIKE GREENS, LIBS OR HACKS
I DO NOT LIKE LIKE THEIR POLITICAL ATTACKS.

I WILL NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME
I WILL NOT BOTHER YOU WITH MORE RHYMES
I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE
THAT YOU REALLY ARE FINISHED WITH ME!

TOODLES!

fin!

p.s. i won't answer, so don't reply!

[mugsy]

I've never been flamed or anything else. I sure wouldn't not post because of that.

Anyway....I'll try again....Cudos to the people who did so much to become citizens of the U.S.

[Soledad]

Yup, that's how it went. You refused to discuss with me. And I think I was bang on; you DO want an audience. Why else would you post a PM???

[mugsy]

AAACCCKKKK!!! Do I need a 2 X 4??

WHAT IS THIS THREAD SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT?

[Soledad]

It takes two, Mugsy. He posted the PM.
