Happy Independence Day!

When is using family members to troll/insult acceptable, going forward?
Sorry you've smeared feces all over any chance I'd trust you had any sincere concern about it at all. You'll have to figure that out for yourself or not.
 
Because that would be a pretty stupid and ridiculous standard to apply to it, wouldn't it? That if you ever said anything slightly, remotely related to something you later took exception to, that you're therefore a hypocrite who has no credibility in taking such a stance, right?

I mean, what kind of intellectual midget would someone have to be to think something you said in a completely different thread, in a completely different context even a week ago, let alone last November, let alone three Novembers ago has any relevance to something barely resembling it today, right?

Dude get a life. You got me, so that should be enough for you. Hope you had a good 4th, I really mean that.

No, no, you misunderstand me! We're on the same team! We agree that not all things said about someone's family are created equal, and that as human beings, there's a wide range of emotions and complexities that result in a reasonable, natural, defensible range of values, attitudes, etc, and that only through the idiotic idea that people must respond exactly the same way in every situation as defined after the fact by someone else would we arrive at so stupid a conclusion that it's inherently hypocritical.

We're good, bruh! :)
 
@Dattier

Do you honestly think what Bert said about you/your family was worse than what you have said about me/mine?

Give me a break.


If you truly think that, let’s take a vote on it and loser gets banned. Excuse in 3...2....
What I said was a question if Dattier wanted his "damned family" to live under socialism. It sure as hell had nothing to do with the umbridge Dat is taking. Of course he never addressed the question, just deflected.

You see the difference, though, right? Dat picked on you for having your dad pay for you to go back to school. Bert said, "God damned family" in reference to Dat's family. Those aren't on the same level. I wouldn't, personally, be offended by either but that's beside the point, the two insults are to different degrees.

If you really went to a mod for any one of these comments, then that's a really bad look, hail.

I did not.

Come on brooky. I don't do shit like that.

Here is my complete post: (you will not see "God damned family" in it.)

You sure as hell did not major in economics, nor have you traveled a lot.

Geeze, Dattier, grow up.

Canada, UK and Australia don't even have a "bill of rights". What they give to you today than can take away tomorrow. It is apparent that you are a novice when it comes to government.

Economically, socialism does not work. If it is so great why in hell don’t you move your family to Russia or Venezuela. Enjoy 4,000 percent inflation in Venezuela while you try to feed your damned family.

Obama was a socialist and his policies sucked.​

He actually just said damned family. If that makes a difference.

... is what I said. Taken in context I still see nothing wrong with my statement. Geeze folks this is getting stupid. Dattier is surely offended easily. What a sensative little fellow.

There’s a reason I made my request of bert in the first line of my response... then went on to other things.

There’s a reason bert can’t or won’t comply with something so simple, reasonable, and politely requested.
 
I'm seeing a pattern here. If you don't have an answer, deflect by saying "you called me a name". Now I know why I switched sides...

You’re missing way too many dots, which is how hail wants it.

If someone tells me I’ve crossed a line and sincerely asks me to stop, I do. If I tell someone they’ve crossed a line — without assuming they should have known already — I do so politely and patiently, and I expect the same courtesy in return.

hail is referring to something (a) he has repeatedly refused to share publicly, (b) he never addressed directly with me, (c ) that happened 2 or more years ago, and (d) for which I already served a ban of a year or so for.
Dude....Come on man. Why can’t you just be civil with everyone? You and I bickered like this constantly. I brought your family into the attacks and you didn’t like it. I stopped. No need to go there. Just be civil. If you start blatantly trolling, you’re going to get called out. Same for me, and everyone else here. But come on man, you can be better than this.

While I can't help but smirk at the irony of you telling me this, I appreciate it and prefer it to some past interactions.

I'm also not going to hold it against you that this does represent a change of tone and try to force some over-the-top, self-flagellating apology out of you, or nitpick over details. I like the new tone and I can be gracious enough to let some nitpicky things slide for the sake of encouraging it moving forward.

I think this thread improved from the post you quoted and I felt better about where it was by the end of it yesterday, but I accept and appreciate your call for civility.

Yeah man. All I’m saying is we can all poke fun at people every now and again, especially in political threads, but it’s to the point where nobody is changing their opinions on anything political. It’s not worth the fight/bickering/arguing. It just pisses people off and it’s not not worth it. Just agree to disagree, ya know? I don’t think less of people who have differing political opinions than me. I wish everyone was that way, unfortunately we’re seeing the worst of people come out based purely on politics. I’m guilty of getting worked up and have said some things I shoudn’t have. Hell, I am as guilty as anyone here. But it’s just not worth getting angry/rustled/worked up when there is so many other things to discuss that don’t take that negative turn.
