My view is that on a message board it is inevitable to face another member who will use information about you to attack you or to try and gain the upper hand, whether that information is true or not. It’s a natural part of message board posting and if you don’t like it then stay with your friends. At least when they do the same to you it won’t be a public display.
So D.Rabbit you wanted to take me on troll to troll, that’s do it where we don’t have to pretend to be nice.
I'm here, I can see your point, but it's not polite or very productive.
Slinging mud whether it is true or not, is low.
I am of the opinion that this is a planet populated by the insane, I am here because I refuse to give up my ego and become a goody two shoes out in the mind numbing peace of Nirvana, the same as the rest of us who prefer to create. That in reality, there are no rules, it's a dog eat dog world, but I'm not a dog. (A bitch maybe, in the way that I don't stand for BS or mud in my face.)
The thing I'd like to try to get across to you, is that there is nothing to gain by mud slinging, it puts you in a poorer light than your opponent. Especially when your falsehoods are revealed.
When I watch political campaign ads where the blues are attacking the reds and vise versa without the benefit of telling me what they are going to do for me for the money they have spent to make their opponents look bad, then I'm definitely not going to give them my vote to squander my tax money. They have proven that they don't know how to effectively gain my trust with their allotted budgets. Only a fool would vote for a party that would waste funds in this type of campaign.
You have your point and mine are just as strong against this type of debate.
It's a matter of human evolution, are we going to continue to be barbarians or is there ever any hope of us rising above despicable practices to the altruistic visions of a future where integrity is paramount?
Are we ever going to be civilized? Creative debating, that's a skill that one should try to master. Hitting below the belt is a losers technique and most of us see it for what it is.
Answer me this if you would, (to yourself, for I shall not be returning to this thread) do you want your legacy to read, "He was a real miserable loser slime ball." or "Here lies a joyous person who loved and nurtured their fellow inmates."?
