What if...
What a difference a few words make, eh? I won't speak for everyone, but I'm not angry with the doofus--though there's a difference between being angry with someone for cause and being angry because you're acting like a hostile, bitter human being. I've seen people treating her the way you do an unruly and ill mannered child and it seems entirely warranted.
In this world you tend to get the treatment you ask for...
unless you're a minority member, in which case that might only apply to masochists. Con(ie) hasn't earned a better handling. And I have a friend who spent twenty years as an MP, finishing his tour at the Palms and now works in law enforcement as a civilian and he hasn't turned into anything like our resident gun tapper.
Doesn't really work out when one half of the conversation is mostly crude, insulting rhetoric. :e4e:
I wonder if ASC gets jealous of queens and trannies that are prettier than she is.
Would explain the hatred.
What is the point of these discussions if not an attempt at change?
The point of this thread was to allow frustrated TOL natives to vent their frustration and give them the opportunity to assist in some peer-pressure moderation, and hopefully, through the catharsis, haze ASeattleConservative into the community.
Now that ASeattleConservative has been moderated by the administration of TOL, this thread no longer serves a purpose.
I am well aware of the purpose of this thread and it has had success for its design.
Negative peer-pressure or hazing seldom has a positive outcome as demonstrated.
Then all she needs is the right place to do it in...say, nearly anywhere else. :thumb:Just think, this may be all that she knows how to do!
You'd think that, but then you go down to the "what if" store and they're all out--though they'll work you into an upgrade on if/then for a modest additional fee. :mmph:There are unlimited "what if's".
Unless someone begins with that sort of conduct I always approach civilly. Even when I don't I tend to begin with the old humor stick, giving the offender a chance to alter the perception of them as a thick headed rinoserious (a mythical beast with an enormous nose it used to butt into the business of any creature it met and always in a preposterous fashion---not to be confused with the hypocritiopimous).Agreed...now, who will make the first offer and or how do we make the transition from combative to respectful discourse?
I vote it begins with Con(ie's) attitude.Change has to start some where?
You know that's right. (I don't think Psych has the TM yet)You are correct, Seattle hasn't earned other than she is receiving!
Great guy.As for your Marine friend, he may be one of those that I said were stronger...there are many.
:think: But what if those were her better qualities? :shocked:And it is tempting to retaliate in kind, so, will we or can we make the transition...you never know, with an effort, Seattle's better qualities may surface, then again this may be a game to her, in order to?
You don't see this as a positive outcome? :think:

Show of hands? :wave2:

I am willing to make an effort, any one else?
If, when, Seattle returns, she does not respond with like effort, so be it!
