i have a Request:-about threads in GD-P calling out Hillary supporters
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 09:59 PM by rodeodance
i just saw another --HEY HILLARY SUPPORTERS-thread.
for the last several days i have put a line in say
**STOP CALLING OUT HILLIARY SUPPORTERS88

I do not think we should be answering these call outs! they serve no purpose except to make snide comments.
why participate in them?
ok---lets discuss this.
i will continue to put that line in --i hate these call outs

let them sink

1. Personally, I pretty much only respond to threads that are posted here, Some might
have been calling out Hillary supporters, but that wasn't my reason for posting in them.

about GD: P in my response: The only time I respond to threads in GD: P is when they are posted here, looking for some support.

5. I try not to
But sometimes I can't help but throw more gasoline on the fire. They are irritating so I try to say something. I will not do so in the future as it simply helps them poke more fun at us.

7. I rarely if ever respond to those...
I know 99% of them just want to mock any responses, and the question itself is insulting. I've gotten so I don't even peek in anymore...not worth my time. I agree that we should let them sink; let them all talk to each other and be bored.

8. I gotta admit....
I've become such a wimp...I can barely find it in myself to post replies out there in toxic GD-P. At this point, I really can't imagine myself ever starting a thread out there again....

It's awful. I didn't used to be so stupidly scared....Look at our girl Hillary (and my political "hero" Wes Clark). They don't back down from anyone. Yet here I am cowering in this forum and barely looking out because of a bunch of assholes out there.

The bravest I can do is post over at Clark's blog where it's mostly Hillary supporters with a number of "O" fans, some really obnoxious and some only mildly so. :P

10. I don't respond either...
not out of fear, but because it's pointless. I have better things to do than argue with a bunch of shit for brains that blame Hillary for all of Obama's woes.

16. I know what you mean, I'm not a very confrontational
person. The level of their vitriol, and the organized group attacks, make posting out there a real test of stamina. I really admire the Hillary supporters who engage in the pitched battle, day in and day out, and I try to lend support where I can.

Hillary IS amazing, isn't she? I wish I was more like her ... able to withstand the vicious attacks, and lies, and keep on smiling and fighting.

25. I'd rather go to news sites and post comments there. You can't get booted.
http://religionblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/03/theology-versus-idiom-god-damn.html

Like here, you can see my post at the bottom.

I google a lot for these stories. And If I really disagree, I post.

17. I don't even open those posts ... they are simply
attack platforms. They are fixed-fights. They don't want to discuss issues ... they just want to draw blood.

24. What do they call iyr for? Bashing, boo boo bandaging? I say ignore.
If they are just trying to get a rise out of you or say Hillary should do such and such to help Obama.

Well, put it where the sun don't shine. Heh.

36. I Agree,
I try to stay away from negative posts, period, but sometimes, . . . .


A response qualifies as a kick, which gives them more visibility. Each kick those threads get is like a rec,
which they do not deserve.
