Why I Think Cindy Sheehan is a NUTJOB.

WOW, that's pretty nasty malorn

maggieddd, let me give you an advice - report him to one of the moderators

 

Your life has had to be miserable the past 6 years. Just hold on....only two more years and you can breathe a giant sigh......or maybe the repubs will get 4 more years.....yikes!

 

but in this case malorn presented "idiotic name calling" - US hater. He hasn't posted anything related to the thread

 

I haven't seen all her posts, but whatever she posted in this thread seems pretty normal.
malorn on the other hand...

But whatever, none of my business

 

Squid, so you are also saying that I am a US hater among other characteristics of me.
I could easily psychoanalyze and generalize your character based on the posts you have made.
I won't waste my time.

 

Let me say, I envy all of you..

I don't know where you all get the time to post such detailed and LENGHTY posts and replies!!

I should be asleep right now, to deal with another 12 hour work day tomorrow!!! (then to come home & help with the watching of my Down's sister-in-law, help with the dishes, etc etc... then Saturday early am Laundromat run, then take the garbage to the transfer station, etc etc (is that a violin I hear playing?).... B)


Your postings have kept me interested and entertained.... I'm glad we are all in a country where we can speak like this (Thanks Google for your China Deal)

 

Resorting to personal attacks is hostile. On this thread and the previous ones both of you malorn and yourself attacked me with slander and labeling without any additional input to the thread. That's HOSTILE. Like I said before you fail to recognize your own conduct and focus on personal accusations of others rather than the topic itself.
Besides, what are you malorn's defender? Can't he speak for himself? Does he need your support?

 

I responded to your edit about my alleged hostility at times.
What kind of heated argument is it when one resorts only to slandering and name calling without any relevance to the topic?

To me there is a big difference between "US hater" and "stupid bitch". I prefer the latter as issues pertaining my country are dearer to me than my personal appearance. You might not particularly care if I call you a "traitor" or "neo-nazi" for whatever political perceptions you might have, but I do care.

People differ.

 

Maggie- Don't waste your time caring about what they're saying about you. It means nothing. The crap they write is really just for themselves and doesn't make any sense anyway

 

My helpful contribution to this lurrrrvely thread:

It's "I COULDN'T care less." With what you said, you haven't hit bottom yet. You could, somehow, manage to become more apathetic to whatever MaggieDD says next, if you could just come up with it within yourself. But you haven't yet. A sort of compliment I guess.

Just to pay back some of the pain for pointless threads such as this one, let me add more helpful English major stuff:

"Disinterested" means you have no stake in the outcome.

"Uninterested" means just not interested.

And to further digress, it's "fewer" when you can count the item. As in, that sign in the grocery line should read "Express lane, 10 items or FEWER." LESS is for non-countables. Less milk. Less gasoline. But FEWER gallons.

Can we all play nice or shall I start diagramming sentences?

 

But in practice, this often derails an argument, since it effectively changes the subject. It's possible to "win" an argument by insulting the other person, but that's often because the other person decides to disengage after being called an idiot or to defend themselves instead of arguing the initial point. To me, this seems like kind of a hollow victory.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you've decided to drop the name-calling. For me, at least, it will make your posts a lot more readable. Thanks.

 

This is really interesting, because I have almost exactly the opposite view. What good is your argument if you have to resort to off-topic personal attacks instead of providing evidence to support your view? And I think the really scary thing is that people pay attention to the name-calling rather than critically analyzing the actual arguments.

We probably have very different approaches to dealing with highly-emotional people.

Thank you for not saying "that wouldn't be any fun at all, you bitter, humorless idiot!"

 

Using your own words:

Just so you know I am not accusing you of being a “jejune narcissistâ€, remember I am only perceiving you as such and it’s not unreasonable to assume there are probably many more posters that have the same perception.
