17. ha, I got that in my first week in DU
Edited on Wed Oct-10-07 05:47 PM by NewJeffCT
lo about 4 years ago now... I don't think it's happened since, or else I've missed it or learned to blot it out.

I came here seeking info to rebut a freeper type about Bill Clinton, and somebody accused me of being a Freeper for asking for a rebuttal...

Unless you're a masochist.

53. I think I was called a Freeper troll after my second post
I dared to criticize someone's pet politician who was leaving office under a cloud of ethical charges.

I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD.

I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD. I will not post in GD."

I often have to repeat that mantra after venturing into GD. I prefer to avoid conflict. Therefore, I try to avoid posting in GD.

12. Oh, lighten up. You did not get called Hitler.
You only got compared to Hitler. Big difference. :sarcasm:

Oh, and shave off that tiny little mustache. It looks ridiculous. :P

Remember, "Godwin's Law" states that, in an argument such as the flamefest now playing on Screen 3 of the GD multiplex, the first person to invoke Hitler or the Nazis thereby loses the argument. And so, you win! :bounce:

33. Actually, this was in the news recently
The city of Watertown, MA voted to discontinue its participation in an Anti-Defamation League hold-hands-and-sing-Kumbaya program to protest the ADL's refusal to support a congressional resolution condemning the Armenian genocide. Watertown has one of the largest Armenian communities in the country.

The flap eventually cost the local ADL director his job when he sided with the Armenian community.

Just a thought - I'd say you you are more of a Goebbels kind of guy...

After all, Dr Joseph Goebbels was in charge of propaganda.

25. And Hitler was fond of Friedrich Nietzsche
Edited on Wed Oct-10-07 06:24 PM by Taverner
Although he and I go in total different directions with the philosophy.

And I do think secular society is capable of creating ethics - in fact I think it's the only body that can.

29. I still haven't been called that in GD
I have been accused of being a neo-nazi in a conversation about genetic drift in the science forum though. Apparently one little-known fact I quoted is something that white supremecists have waved around trying to claim that 'white people' had a stake in one of the big ancient cultures. Not that I knew that, since I don't frequent those kind of websites. And nevermind the fact that some assholes waving it around to try and prove some crazy point doesn't make the fact itself any less valid. And nevermind the fact that I was pointing out the exact opposite of white supremecy... about how the fair-skinned genes will disappear pretty quickly when you live in a sunny environment for a few generations. I.E., the useful genes win the fight, and there's no added usefulness to pale skin.

Also nevermind the fact that this guy didn't know me at all... and certainly didn't know that I'm a quarter jewish and a quarter native american. And that the jewish part of my family only survived this century because they left Poland before WWII.

56. Eh, it was just one guy.
And obviously not a very bright one at that, since the closest he seemed to have to any kind of deductive reasoning involved jumping straight to a conclusion with no actual link between point A and point B.

I can't even remember his SN name. I've only been tempted to add two people to my ignore list, and he (at least I think it was a he) was one of them.

30. You didn't like the vote about the Armenian genocide today. Deal with it.
Edited on Wed Oct-10-07 07:19 PM by faygokid
It's no "rite of passage," it's comment on DU. Spare us. You would like to consider the genocide no worse than an accidental death, and you will never win that argument here.

And you are wrong in your posts here today on the genocide. If you expect that we will agree that no genocide happened, or that we should not acknowledge it, you are mistaken.
