Got my webcam hooked up. Damn this thing can get high resolution...as it should, considering the amount I spent on it.

Oh ho ho, he'd have to take me out on a few dates before I'd accept those.

Well, I did snap a picture of me and a pussy...cat.

Staying out of the election thread for now, for the sake of my sanity and unbanned state. Seriously, I hope with all my heart that a certain someone is a troll. Because a little part of me dies every time I meet someone who acts as if they've just stepped out of one of Tom Tomorrow's strips. Debating with conservatives? Sure. "Debating" with a walking wingnut stereotype?

I blame global warming for being a government conspiracy.

Oh wait.

I've lost a lot of hope for the bay12 politics threads. Yes, the dude's a walking stereotype, but much of that is due to people coming down on him with the fury of a thousand suns whenever he posts anything. His crazy attitude is reactionary.

We can debate among liberals, but once a conservative walks in it's all "OMG U MONSTER HOW COULD U SUPPORT THIS U EVIL EVIL PERSON".

I don't align myself with any political party, and love debate and playing devil's advocate, but even I have avoided any political discussion threads because the overwhelming majority of of folks are of one mindset/worldview, and dogpile anyone who isn't. I'd have to carefully craft any statements and load them with weasel words to avoid setting folks off, just in order to get some new ideas brought up, or contradict statements others have made, and that's too much damn work just to only kinda-sorta mention a different opinion.

Jervill Sat Nov 03, 2012 7:51 pm

Not really, it was relatively civil until the guy kept making the same claims ad nauseum instead of actually backing them up with unbiased sources and then claimed "no one else was using stats" when they were. Par for the course for a Libertarian, really.

Also, his first post was inherently confrontational.

Bottom of page 508.

Kaijyuu Sat Nov 03, 2012 8:26 pm

Yeah I'm not defending any of the dude's behavior either. "He started it" isn't a valid excuse ever, though.

IMO what's most damning for him is his "typical Liberal" accusations.

**Flying Dice** Sat Nov 03, 2012 8:54 pm

He started out crazy. All anyone in the thread did was give him the chance to properly display it.

I try to be accepting and understanding, I really do. But there is a point where I (for numerous reasons) just have to say "No, that's enough. You are not contributing to rational discourse in any meaningful way. Screw off."

There are similar reasons that explain why I have such a hard time debating with fundies: you can only point out circular reasoning and appeals to faith so many times before you start losing neurons just by continuing to listen. Though I'm hard pressed to decide what I despise more: excusing bigotry with god or excusing coldhearted, uncivilized disdain for others and willful ignorance of the basic structure of human society with "got mine" dogma.

Phew, some bay12lb drama actually improved my mood. I don't know how.

Foot was put down. Got some complements in private channels. Boundaries reinforced. Possible war declared with another IRC channel.

This part of the internet is scary.
