Hi
FounDitThanks for continuing the discussion on abusive behaviour. Here are my two cents:
Cent 1, if we're going to condemn Blaidd-Drwg's creative comments on republicans, here are some examples of
Foundit about
Trump opposition: "No matter what Trump says, it's horrible to the Democrazies (that includes the Far Left and the Media) and some Repulsicans."
Foundit about
Socialists : "It's very telling that sixty years ago, there could never have been a candidate running for President who would openly declare themselves as a Socialist. Nor would a person working for the President openly declare themselves as a Communist, as Van Jones did in the Obama Administration. They have been very successful at embedding themselves into our society, like ticks on a dog, feeding off its health."
Cent 2, as we're talking about abusive behaviour and emotional irrationality, here is FounDit's own behaviour in debates from recent threads:
In this thread
- "I'm not sure if Blaidd-Drwg is simply ignorant, or if he's deliberately maintaining a long-distance relationship with the truth (a.k.a., lying)"
- "Some of them even post here on the forum where they reveal their ignorance and their lies."
- "But that’s what we get with the “woke” crowd."
- "but that becomes impossible whenever anger takes over rational thought."
- "the word “Man” doesn’t send her over the edge as it used to"
- "hysterical feminists"
- "So when confronted with such arrogant ignorance, I feel no need to justify myself, and I leave the foolishness with you."
- "the woman who has repeatedly scolded everyone on the use of “Man” and “Mankind” at every opportunity"
- "Breathtaking hubris"
In
What we are currently witnessing- "Progressive admirers such as Lotje, Hope, Romany, Oscar De Grouch, Towen52, Blaidd-Drwg, and others, who never offer solutions, but rather attack, criticize, tear down, impugn and assault the character [of the President]"
- "Even weak-minded people can do it, as we see here."
In
Right wing extremists fomenting violence- "That is a lie perpetrated by people like yourself who wish to propagate it."
- "C'mon, stop and think before you say things like that."
- "Keep it funny. [...] That's hilarious. That's like asking Adolph Hitler to define Nationalism. You're funny."
- "But none of that matters to the race-baiters, and hate-mongers on the Progressive Socialist Left. They continue to scream racism at anyone who disagrees with their far Left agenda, and have convinced the weak-minded to go along with them."
- "Please don't put words in my mouth I didn't say. You don't have the acumen to carry it off."
- "I would explain this to you, but since you have already missed the simplicity of it, I don't think I can be helpful."
In
A good question- "By making foolish assumptions such as the ones you make with these photos, leading not to good questions, but to foolish questions. But that's what fools do. Carry on."
- "It was obvious to any intelligent person [...] Sure; the voice of another foolish person who can’t see the truth when it is right in front of her."
- "The hubris demonstrated is proof enough of the foolishness and immaturity that abounds in the posts by you all: Hope, Oscar, Romany, et al."
- "And your provided no "truth", only opinion, and a childishly biased one at that (my opinion of your opinion)."
- "What can you do? Nothing, except sit back and criticize like a whiny unhappy child."
- "Can you do nothing but complain and whine? Are you EVER happy - about anything?"
- "It is true that all you seem able to do is trash leaders. Like a whiny, unhappy child, stamping her feet and demanding that Mummy and Daddy make her world comfy. Poor baby"
In
Whistleblower report- "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. ~Jonathan Swift~ And if you needed proof, you have herewith been presented with an abundance."
- "Well, do enlighten us all, please. As an "adult", perhaps you could educate this "child" on exactly how much "influence" and "weight" your opinion has on what happens here in the U.S."
- "But you all provided the evidence, just as you are doing here with these silly and illogical arguments."
- "And if you think Trump has control of the media, that dunce hat will fit you perfectly."
- "I'm shooting so far over their heads, they don't even know they've been fired at. *sheesh*"
In
America - a christian nation- " I feel I have to shout to be heard through the fog that is passing for thinking on this subject."
In
A geopolitical earthquake- "This is ridiculous. [...] Get real. And to say you only hate his policies is a lie. "
- "You follow the herd, believing what you are told, confirmation bias for your hate."
- "Perhaps if you had read it with a calm state of mind, and thought a moment about it, this would not have eluded you."
- "That's rich. It's his fault you hate because he doesn't please you. [...] Do you take any responsibility for anything? Oh, wait, I know. You're all victims. You don't bear responsibility. It's all done to you."
- "He allows people to have their own opinions on things - something you might consider permitting also, but I doubt that you're capable of doing that."
- "Tsk, tsk. This you get exercised over? Tempest in a teapot."
- "You have really quite lost your mind if you think the people in that stadium represent the general public. They are your fellow haters who displayed their ill-mannered behavior for all the world to witness."
- "So now you equate Trump with Bagdadi? Your hate is really showing tonight."
- "Bullshit. You know nothing about what went on in the situation room."
- "Besides that, you wouldn't be able to comprehend them. Your hate would get in the way."
- "Once again you reveal your ignorance."
- "Once again, your ignorance would fill an abyss."
- "Your ignorance of our system is extreme."
- "Another lie. Can you ever top with the lying, or does it come so easily to you that you don't even know you are doing it?"
- "Rotflmao. This from a Canadian who espouses nothing but hate for our President? You are hilarious!"
- "If only you could bring yourself to be as generous. But I don't think that's possible for you."
- "ROTFLMAO.[...] Another joke source reference. [...] Stop, please! My sides are hurting from laughing!"
- "Yada-yada...we all hate Trump - right."
- "Why would you want to live in hate? That seems a very foolish thing to desire. Wouldn't it be better to live in a peaceful state of mind, using logic and reason as guides. But whatever gives you pleasure..."
- "Bullshit. You use distortions, half-truths, and rather than think for yourself, you rely on biased new outlets, just as you have done here."
- "I'm hoping everyone has given up on reading your distortions, but I doubt it. Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is still very active."
In
Is England still part of Europe- "Well, I was hoping for some intelligent opinions, and discussion, but this seems to have turned into another prime example of the idiom, “straining gnats and swallowing camels”"
- "Unlike some here on the forum, I do not see myself as being imbued with a quasi-divine right to sit in judgment of, or criticize the people of, other countries, telling them who they should elect, assuming the right to insult those they do elect, or how they should think and believe on topics affecting their lives."
- "I had thought some who are British might provide some cogent thinking on the matter, but once again, it became the usual exercise in “straining gnats and swallowing camels” criticism that prevails. It seems to be much more fun to attack rather than to think. After all, thinking is not much in vogue for many on account of the strain involved."
- "Intelligent thinking and some cogent thinking was sought on Brexit. This should not have been too difficult to understand. But as I said, criticism is easier for some than thinking."
- "You had a choice: you could have provided that intelligent information, as Sarriesfan did, or you could choose to be an RSoul. Your choice is obvious to all. Have a nice day."
- "Once again, thanks for starting my day off with a reason to LMAO."
- "Such illogical thought processes astound me. But then, after reading Romany's post right behind yours, which accuses me of childish behavior, I perceive that once emotion takes control, logical thinking does seem to suffer greatly."
In
Trump confirms he is considering attempt to buy Greenland- "*LOL* That's funny! [...] There are none so blind... [...] much to the disappointment of the extreme political Left...*Laughing*"
- "You are appalled. Oh, my. However, will Great Britain survive?"
In
Reasons for the recent mass shootings- "Ah, once again you hide behind a supposed care and concern for "the children"."
- "Well, you can, but you come across looking like a fool, or a hypocrite."
- "You will notice - well, you probably won't, but clear-eyed folks will notice -"
- "I would suggest using some common sense, but..."
- "A foolish argument."
- "Oh My Gosh! The Toronto Star editor and cartoonists don't like our President! How will I make it through the night now that I know that? Their opinion means s-o-o-o-o-o much to me!"
- "Have you developed clairvoyance, too?"
- "It's called "taking responsibility for your actions", or do you guys not believe in that?"
- "I see that, once again, you are being "economical" with the truth."
- "I guess this is your clairvoyance kicking in again"
- "What hubris!"
- "But I waste my time trying to have an intelligent conversation about this with you all. You are ruled by your emotions rather than logic or reason."
- "So for as long as you maintain that focus, your lop-sided decision-making and view of the situation creates a poor foundation for even discussing the problem [...] Fortunately for us, we have more rational thinkers in charge of the situation than you all."
- "Bullshit"
- "ROTF...Seriously? What you miss would fill a library."
- "Then you simply haven't been paying attention, or choose not to see. Your mental scotoma is not my problem to solve."
- "Even when I do explain myself, you all choose to ignore it and claim no evidence. There are none so blind...etc."
