Looks as if not everybody listened, evidently.

....and the people who constantly complain about the moderation here are often the very same ones who need to be throttled.


....fwiw, you did not specifically single me out...just sayin'.

Honestly you, @bodyman5000 and 1 and @CupWizier get into a lot of arguments in a lot threads. I get it, all of you are very passionate in your opinions but all three of you get very irritated if people disagree with you which leads to nothing but insults and post after post of you guys sniping at each other that has nothing to do with your original argument.

I like all of you, I respect all of you, but this behavior has to stop.

If you guys really need to bang on each other you can do it in Private Messages.

There's a helluva lot more than just the 3 you mentioned...but whatever.

FWIW, I would never "bang" anyone on this board...well at least not until the social distancing thingy is lifted.

I get into arguments/discussions on here. A few mods do and there are quite a few posters that do as well. I like you for the most part so this isn't meant to be a shot at you or anyone, but it's my personal opinion that discussion, back and forth, arguments, can be constructive to some extent. It's the chasing people around from thread to thread and bringing up topics over and over and letting those devolve to the point where discussion is dead that I find the problem exists. Again I'm not perfect at that and no one is. I never exclude myself when it comes to issues on the forum, or in real life because I realize at times I can be guilty of the same things. I should get better at not getting into heated discussions with people as well and when things are devolving past a point of something being a good discussion, I should stop.

I agree 100%, especially if there's no obvious personal attacks.

Ha! I don't get irritated if they don't agree with me. I get irritated when they accuse others and when shown that they did the thing they accused someone of doing it they ignore it.

Example. An example that cannot be refuted is the slurp slurp thing. I read that the other day and it was just ridiculous. It has nothing to do with a "discussion" as they pretend to want. They want to trash a different opinion before it even arrives. You know it and everyone else who reads this shit knows it.

So I just kept doing it and predictably they said how it was a reflection on what type of person I am. Then I quoted where I got it from and no response. They don't have enough self awareness to just tackle that one single instance where they were wrong.

If you can't admit that tiny little bit, what good are you as a poster? If I wanted to hear what Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon said all day without being able to have a discussion I'd just watch CNN myself.

Holy fuck I miss Dviss1 sometimes. Check that, all the time I read this board.

A perfect example of what you are talking about is a thread that was last posted in exactly 2 years ago that bodyman went into today and dredged up an old post of mine in the thread and responded with his typical antics. What do you think his purpose was to do that? I ignored it and moved on, but this guy definitely has some issues.

We are having remote Seder via zoom. Everyone has to prepare their own Seder plate and meal but as my brother said, we can drink as much wine as we want since no one is driving.

Got my plate, matzo, egg and salt water, horseradish, fig apple harotzet from last fall's harvest, parsley from garden, roasted bone. Should be lamb but exigent circumstances. Orange not traditional. It started during debate on ordination of women when a senior rabbi said a female rabbi was as ridiculous as an orange on a Seder plate. Since then the orange has indicated support for gender equality.

Got my dinner, matzo ball soup, brisket, potatoes, chard, miniature flourless chocolate cake from Cooking forIMG_20200408_140011.jpg Two book.

I want nothing to do with that guy. I notice he really took heed of your advice about his slurp infatuation. He's just shoving it in your face cause that's how he operates.

It's ironic that food that has perforations like toilet paper can help you avoid the need for toilet paper. Smart cookies these refugees were.

But bro, when you make random and regular posts trying to call out "Trumpsters", it is a form of an attack and it derails everything. You and several others do this on a fairly regular basis. I rarely see the "Bidennettes are blah blah blah". Its all about how bad Trumpsters are. There are a few here that have gone at Biden and his followers, but to me, its clearly evident, it is sarcastic behavior mimicking the opposite.

Cup complaining that Body tried to egg him on in another thread and he ignored it, is soo classic of his hypcritical behavior. This coming from the same guy who sent me a PM telling me I needed psychiatric help, trying to egg me on... yet sits here and acts like he avoids that crap.
Its that type of behavior right there that has turned sooo many people off from this place and when it happens, those who see it find it hard to not call the bluff. And that's what this place has turned into. Everyone pointing fingers trying to call bluffs because some people cant own up to being part of the problem and actually claim innocence in the face of evidence to the contrary.

If you leave it to your hate of Trump(Which I don't understand, no hate is good) and not the people who are republican and vote for Trump, then many discussions would go much better. You and several other posters on a daily basis continually try to call out posters you have "deemed as a Trumpsters" and it gets so old, and obviously never helps to start a real constructive conversation.

Trump sucks... fine
Trump is a liar.. fine
Trump is a sexist pig.. fine

But when it drops to Trumpsters are idiots.... not cool
Trumpsters are blind zombies...not cool
Trumpsters are evil...not cool


I love debating. I love constructive criticism and going at people with opposing opinions. Its how I believe I continue to learn and not be stuck in my ways, is by keeping an open ear to the opposite opinion.

But that doesn't happen here. So many people who would love to debate, are just like... why bother? This is a joke.

I started a thread a while back truly wanting to have quality discussions about peoples' political stances without bringing into the equation Trump, or any other candidate and was laughed out of the thread. Only a couple people even gave quality responses and one of them even got frustrated with me after a short back and forth.

I'm not saying people on the other side of the fence, including myself, are innocent, but the reality is this place has mostly democratic members and some of them tend to go after the ones that aren't, in thread after thread after thread, but then when a retaliation comes.. its "cry holy murder"

This goes hand in hand with what I was discussing with you a few days ago.

I wonder what lies Trump will tell today?

He'll tell every lie, the biggest and best lies you've ever heard. Better than any lie the previous administration did. So big that you won't be surprised that he's the #1 person on Facebook.
