Don't feed the skunk. If you ignore him he'll retreat back under his bridge.

I don't know why you are getting so emotional.

I think the problem is:
1. You don't understand my humour.
2. You don't have a developed sense of humour.

Biden is in. I seriously don't understand why you aren't on an emotional high.

And why does there have to be all this talk of punishment and banning like kids being sent to the headmaster or expelled?

How about "certain posters" just not acting like wokezilla all the time? This isn't Woke Planet.


Wokezillas have been conditioned by social influences, to be wokezillas.
They are not free independent thinkers.
Be nice. :mrgreen:


We need to invent pejoratives for "free thinkers" now. I can't believe mods are putting up with this. Just because you say you're above us all is not an excuse to be a dick. Be nice.


If I understand you correctly, you have misunderstood how I was using "independent thinker".
I was calling *myself* an independent thinker.
I.E. I don't engage in groupthink.

cberg wrote:
There is no such thing as independent thought anyway.


There is in this context.
Using critical thinking skills, rather than adopting what others are saying, is being an independent thinker.

Pepe isn't saying anything original here,


I'm not pretending to say anything new.
I am saying I think independantly.

just stirring the pot with a trendy new alt-right vernacular.


I wasn't even aware that the alt.right used "free-thinking".
I leaned it recently, from League Girl. ;)
This is why I use "independent", rather than "free", now. ;)

I don't talk s**t straight to your face.
Please don't insinuate I am a nazi, fascist, or alt.right, when I am not. ;)

It's intriguing how many people believe the things they say will never come back to them.

Explain *how* I am doing the bidding of nazis/fascists/alt-right? 8)
If you have a valid rationale, I'd like to here it.

The comment is very ambiguous. I assume you're talking about Sly? :wink:

When people want to close a thread, they get personal.
If you want this thread to remain unlocked, don't bite back emotionally, is my suggestion. 8)

Honestly this whole thread had came off as "How to call someone a Nazi without actually calling them one." :wink:


Insinuations are against WP policy, also.
I can find the section if you want me to. ;)

Then it had evolved to "who should be called a fascist, Nazi, Racist, etc."

Alex allows people to be called a fascist and a racist, but I think it has been shown that a valid rationale needs to be provided.
If it can't be given, then those terms will be deemed as insults.
That sounds reasonable, to me. 8)

But this has all been entertaining to read.


I have found it entertaining also.
However, some seem to be becoming emotional, though I don't know why.

League_Girl wrote:
Oh yeah and the reason why I may not quote posts is because I do it to try and avoid misunderstandings and I don't want the poster to think I am twisting their words or trying to start anything with them when it is not even directed at them. But I see this is not avoidable. Human kafka traps I call it. Or is it Murphy's Law created by humans. :scratch:


If you aren't replying to the person you are quoting, don't quote that person.
If you are replying to a specific post, please indicate who you are directing the reply to.
If you are making a general comment, please don't make innuendos.
Clear as mud, right? ;)
