The only famous non holiday date
- Thread starter TheDude1
- Start date
It’s also the date we lost a bunch of old threads like the John Beilein > Tom Crean masterpiece and Will Sheehey PPG tracker.
It was a generous offer, particularly extended to a guy that lost control of his emotions. I didn't pick and pick at you...i disagreed with you. And supported my stance with what being a patriot means both to me and the actual definition. You handled the conversation very poorly. Referencing how the bill was passed had little to do with politics---it was used to cite patriotism and everyone coming together as proud americans---even told you as much at the time. I lumped you and Datt together b/c you are two peas in a pod. I didn't need to curry favor with others b/c my opinion was grounded and rational. I didn't throw a tantrum, nor did i ever discount your experience and how you honor the day. You went overboard and felt attacked when i was simply disagreeing with you. I didn't attack you for your understanding of 9/11. I disagreed and supported my view on the significance of naming it patriot day. After all---it was a thread about the name of the day, was it not? You really should stop acting like you own the emotion of the day and assuming how others feel about it---b/c thats pretty myopic.Oh my, what a generous offer! How about a counter offer?
I'll tell you what, go ahead and tell me you didn't think it through on this whole thing, and all of my calm posts about my opinion about it, trying to explain my thoughts on it, and how it is simply different than yours. Nothing wrong with that. The only thing wrong was you not getting how different things mean different things for different people, and that you wouldn't let it go, and that you were drinking and then even brought politics into it, and that you then picked and picked and picked until you got a reaction from me, even though I was clear it was an emotional topic. Then follow that up with how you got wrapped up in fighting about it and currying favor with the stalkers, and ill never bring up this train wreck of a thread again.
I wasn't calm them. Having some dude attack me, over and over, about my understanding of 9/11, literally a day afterwards, a day after listening to the names get read and looking at the names on the bench of the two guys who died and seeing the videos of it all... yeah. It's easy for you to be calm about 9/11. But fear not... now I'm calm, too
The bottom line is you lost your cool and i didn't. Has nothing to do with how I feel about 9/11, it has everything to do with how i like to conduct myself. Your counter offer did nothing to address your erratic over the top melt down btw.
It's not really bad over here but it pretty much ruined the Mainboard.
You would have to like it then unlike it and do that a thousand times. It is doable though.
I sometimes think about subscribing just to read the mainboard....then I read these posts.
Thanks. That's a pretty strong validation of my objection: being reflective and appreciative of others and our differences somehow makes "mush" out of patriotism as y'all would define it.
It's still a good board but there's more nonsense posted over there than ever before nowadays. I still like to read it all the time but it's just become more saturated with people seeking attention.
I like how the mods send the threads to the high school board.
After thinking about it, you're right, I am getting repetitive and "boring". I will admit it and work on it.
What's that saying "Don't speak unless you can improve the silence"? Thanks, I'll work on it.
Ive been at peace the entire time. I'm not the one who pitched a fit discussing the exact content the thread was about. I get you were embarrassed by your conduct and it would be hard to swallow your pride and take ownership of it. Even if you decide against it, the thread itself did it for you.
I think it's mainly the reject/duplicate threads.
There is one thread on the mainboard that's this long.

That really is what we should do. Soundoff does the same.
One political thread pinned.
Good idea, however that thread I'm talking about is the conspiracy/Qanon thread. There's still atleast 10 political threads started everyday over there that are at minimum 2 pages.
It's basically nothing but political over there.I'd suggest putting on a hard hat before venturing posting. Wait,we might be talking about two different boards.
for those curious.

It's got a little bit of everything.
Whoa, that's a pretty long post. I should probably edit it because I hate having to scroll through long posts.

You're talking about the main.
I'd insert the "that's bait" gif here, but I can't get the damn thing to work, so I'll go with the next best one:
I'll bite... is that GENUINELY what you think is going on? Like... seriously? That I'm embarrassed by calling a giant ****ing douchebag a giant ****ing douchebag? Can't be. You've GOT to be trolling, and trolling hard. Got to be.
USA USA USA USA greatest nation in the world!!!1!
You sir, deserve a certified patriot sticker!
No bait, I'm crying inside and make jokes to help, but you're right.I'd insert the "that's bait" gif here, but I can't get the damn thing to work, so I'll go with the next best one:
If you're not...you really should be. You could have 100 people read over what I said in this thread and what you said.....and you'd be lucky to have a Datt or two have your back. I wasn't unreasonable in the slightest. With your responses I could have easily came right back at you---but it wasn't worth it. I never went outside the lines on you and I gave you the history of how and why it was named patriot day. Then I told you why I thought it was appropriate. Then I let you know that every reason you gave for not liking the term patriot was misinformed. You even went so far as to say it demeaned 9/11. It was non-sense on your part. You can have your opinion on calling it 9/11 instead of patriot day--there isn't anything wrong with that. I call it both. But to expect me to agree with your multiple...very poor reasons on how patriot day isn't an appropriate---just isn't gonna happen. You looked like a fool b/c you couldn't keep your composure over something very simple to understand. It is pretty played out and i feel plenty comfortable where I stand on it b/c I didn't get all melty. It's in your best interest to just let it go b/c its getting pretty boring for me.
And yes---im a giant effing d bag for helping you understand what the meaning of patriot is. How dare I, right?
Yikes. So you bitching about liberals and all of that, about how your mind is blown, some ridiculous talking-down about the definition of patriot, how I have to agree with your take on patriot and on 9/11... and now inventing something where *I* expected *you* to agree with me even though A) I said, six different times, I was just talking about ME, and it wouldn't even OCCUR to me to say anyone has to agree with my personal take, and B) you were basically getting pissy that I didn't agree with YOU... that's what happened?
Okay, you really don't get it, then. Okay. We can be done. I mean, I tried to be done four pages ago when I let you have the last word and instead just posted about my own experiences that day, which some normal folks appreciated reading... and then you started drinking and came back again. And again. And again.
And I wouldn't be too sure about your take on what happened, and how people took it. I get it, the stalker buddies jumped in because... you know... and Lurker, because he's him... but you really think that's how a lot of the more rational posters here have taken this whole thing? That they would read this and say "Oh, that guy who over and over and over went after that guy who just gave his opinion... he was totally in the right!" That they didn't get that someone who feels really passionately about it finally gave back after putting up with shot after shot? Man, if only you read private messages...

Not worried about it at all my man. I was on topic the whole time and said nothing that detracted from your personal account of your day---thats what you did to me. The thread was about the name of non holidays and specifically 9/11. Why you couldn't handle talking about the name of that day like a grown up is beyond me. You told me before, how old are you?
And... did I bitch about liberals?
I had a few follow up questions i think are reasonable.
