The impression I've been getting is that nothing short of melting my guns down into a guitar and playing "Imagine" by John Lennon on it will make you people happy.I'm sorry you got the impression that that wouldn't satisfy us. I personally would be thrilled if you would change either or both. The picture is just kind of bizarre, on the edge of too-far; the text is large and swears at the viewer.
When posts are coming in at 5 per second, all saying almost exactly the same thing, it's hard to keep straight who's saying what, and also hard to quote stuff and still not be overwhelmed.rather than saying it in general or adding "to the suicide person" (which offended me and I wasn't even the person you were responding to).
You try being the sole person on one side, which you know absolutely 100% is right, with at least a half-dozen other people using massive amounts of intellectual dishonesty, while accusing you of same. It's incredibly frustrating.
This whole thing has basically been an exact repeat of what happened when I tried to comment on a thread which basically said "niggers invented AIDS, they're all baby rapists, nuke Africa off the face of the planet, God made AIDS to kill gays" thread, on an ultra-conservative forum. An exact repeat. Straw man arguments, attacking the critic instead of the criticism, misquoting, twisting words, etc. The main difference being that I haven't left in a huff yet. I know it's hard to see that kind of intellectual dishonesty on your own side, but it's been happening.
It's called hypocrisy. Accusing the other side of something while ignoring your own side's actually doing it, while typical of all debates (that's the typical part), is double-intellectual dishonesty. It makes you look bad.Generally, in a debate, you don't attack your own side.
That's the kind of person you associate with. That's how previous rulings look to have been. Mods like it, others don't, it continues. Mods don't like it, lots of people do, it's gone. That's really how it is everywhere. So yes, I was making that assumption. Past experience.Yes. If you were deliberately ignoring the discomfort of others, I would be irritated. What kind of person do you think I am? You don't even know my views on gun control. I like guns. I think there should be much more stringent controls. I don't think they should be illegal altogether. But I'm embarrassed to say so, after all the points you haven't been making in favor of that position. But to imply that I am so callous towards the feelings of others that I would only support some hot-button issues and not others is just rude.
Sorry.
