Why do we get all wrapped up???
« on: October 16, 2008, 03:57:05 AM »
As much as I try, I still end up posting in some of the obvious "troll" posts made by several members here.  Why do we do this?  Why don't we just ignore them?  I'm NOT equating Swampy with a troll but it's sort of like his M700 posts.  Why do we keep argueing instead of ignoring.  Why do we deal with some of these other folks?  Why not just ignore them?  You won't change their mindset.  Granted they can be entertaining once in a while but the incessant arguements, fighting, name-calling and such are just dragging down what was a great forum.  As bad as it has gotten, it is still better than any other site I've found.  I thank GB for hosting it and keeping free flowing while mostly polite.

I urge you all to consider the ramifications of responding to thier inflammatory posts... just ignore them and they will go away.  Since we can't pound sense into their heads literally, it makes no sense to attempt to pound them into submission electronically.

Just my thoughts,
ngh

None of my post are intended to be inflammatory.  I post what I believe, and know to be the facts.  It's not my fault that most folks are uninformed/misinformed.

Actually a while back a member here started declaring that he was, "Totally done..." with various people who disagreed with him.  Unfortunately he couldn't stick to it and he ended up taking a temporary leave of absence because he was tired of fighting with all the people he was, "totally done" with.

I think to some people this is a game they play for their psyche.  They need to get the last and final word to get their self esteme up.  They can't walk away from a post that they feel they can refute or it's a loss and it has a negative impact on their self worth.

Whats wrong with a argument or disagreement, it gets the blood flowing,
gets the brain working on the next post, gets you up on the edge of you chair
or tiptoes.
and makes GB money. ;D ::) :o
some folks here are fun to play with, some get a little touchy, but most

All those "arguments" or whatever are fun to take part in....but even more fun to watch.  To a degree, as long as it doesn't get personal, which oftentimes it does.

I agree, alot can be learned by the multitude of ideas and opinions.  At the very least, it helps me develop and articulate my own beliefs.

I have to say that folks who think everyone thinks like them, & cannot see things from both sides are amazing to me.  It's a very common trait.  Almost nobody thinks like us.  Most of us still think like it's the 1950s(I wish it was)  Liberal democrats are the controlling majority in this country.  That's sad.  I assure you most of my post in this section of the forums are to try to get people to look at both sides.

I have to say that I enjoy the $ flowing as well!  ;D   I stay at home w/ 3 kids most of the day, and Matt is either asleep or at work ALL the time.  It is nice to have adult conversations, and a nice stimulating debate is always nice.

I think a lot of people tend to be too timid when it comes to having a debate.  And a lot of the younger people are more aggressive on forums than the older, because we are more attuned to forums and debate.  So when somebody makes a claim and doesn't back it up, it gets called out.  If you state that something is your opinion, it usually gets left alone, but should you claim it as fact, you best be ready to back it up ;D

Its good for the blood flow, and evidently good for GB's belly ;D

hahahahaha............oh my side hurts.... that was a good one....

ngh as to your question... hmm I think it is a "they cant really be that complacent can they..." question that I just got to have the answer to and the only way to get it is to engage them at times.

I don't know... I think it's the whole thing with all the liberals, muslims, tin-hat conspiracy freaks and all that stuff that bugs me.  I really want to chime in on some of this stuff but then I would end up getting all worked up and typing for hours and it still wouldn't change their minds.  I just TRY to stay out of it.  They keep coming back and spewing forth their garbage.  Why keep poking them in the eye and giving them the satisfaction...

GB, I'm glad it seems to be getting the $$$ flowing for ya'll.  I know there for a while it was a tight thing trying to keep this running.

Is there any difference in the three of these? All anti American from my point of view. An enemy is an enemy no matter what thier point of view.

So even though an American citizen chooses to be a Muslim in this country, that makes them your enemy?
So if an American chooses to have a liberal point of view they are your enemy?
So if an American thinks that there is a conspiracy out there that is being covered up, they are your enemy?

IMO the founding Fathers were much less tolerant than we'd like to give them credit for.

As a gun owner, I do consider liberals the enemy.  They are the most intolerant folks you'll meet.

I don't mind Muslims as long as they leave me alone.  They seem pretty intolerant.

I think the conspiracy nuts are their own worst enemy.  I tolerate them because they might be right.

Some people just need a place to vent their frustrations.  Here it is annomious(I hate it when spell check and I can't reach a concensis) and they get rebuttal.  It stimulates the mind.  And believe me, some minds really need stimulation.  Keep it clean and stimulate others, once you reach your frustration level, drop out, go away, come again another day.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
