“I wanted Jeff to understand how disgusting and creepy it felt when people went from arguing about ideas to commenting on your anatomy.
How do you imagine someone could have achieved the age of majority and not grasped this concept? Or was it just that the idea is a new one to you?
I wanted Jeff to understand how disgusting and creepy it felt when people went from arguing about ideas to commenting on your anatomy. So I made extremely distasteful comments about his child
The [lack of] grammaticallity aside, I find your ‘logic’ impossible to discern. If you wanna make Jeff feeeel the same way you did when someone make comments about your anatomy, wouldn’t you just make comments about his anatomy? From where did the idea come to make creepy comments about his child?
to whom he referred in the original post, in order to make Jeff feel the way I felt when his cronies made sexual references to me.
Better yet, how does it not occur to you, when the discussion degenerates to stupid namecalling to simply ignore the knotheads or just wander off?
How do you manage to be actually hurt by the comments of strangers anonymous who can’t even make a rational or valid point so name-call?
My goal was to hurt Jeff’s feelings,
Hurt his feelings?!?!?
to make him feel disgusted and verbally assaulted the way I felt when his friends made sexual references to me."
Didja know that anonymous commenters on a blog aren’t really counted as “friends?” Or is that bit of psychology beyond your ken as well?
And this brings me to my [insufficient, I realize] justification for even bringing up this whole sordid mess; it is a demonstration of the gulf between the increasingly numerous and vocal rabid Moonbat Contingent and The Rest of Us - Left or Right.
Sure, when one is hurt it is ‘natural’ to want to hit back. Thing is, that’s one of those ‘natural’ human tendencies that civilization encourages us to grow past and get in charge of --- like the ‘natural’ human instinct to poop our pants. And at about the same stage of development, I might add. So what happened to the Moonbat Contingent that they missed this crucial developmental step? Izzit the self-esteeeeem wave of BS that engulfed populist child-raising theory in the last few decades? Is it the lack of good ol’ grandma types who would carry out their duty to give young folks a smack onna back of da head and correct uncivilized behaviors?
This is what creates such a disconnect in American political discourse; that we—normal people—continue to give time or attention to the unhingedMM Moonbat Contingent. It’s analogous to bringing a lovely, adult dinner party conversation to a screeching halt for the tantrum of a two-year-old. Or censoring everything in sight in an attempt to make the whole world ‘safe’ for a 6 year old. This is why parents were invented—to keep the world safe from the tantruming two-year-old.
And this is what we gotta find a way to do, as the Adult-Americans; find a way to cut out of the conversation those who demonstrate that they do not possess the skills to participate in a civilized, rational discourse about those things which threaten our nation.
Whaddaya do when a two-year-old tantrums? Ya make sure he can’t hurt himself and ignore the behavior ‘til he’s done.
"I play a dangerous game by being a professor and also having a very rabid left-wing blog and also posting nasty inflammatory comments on other people’s blogs,” she said. “The issue is how these rabid, crazy, right-wing nutcases have stalked me, told on me, reacted totally out of proportion to a joke in bad taste I posted on a blog. They are treating me the way they treated Ward Churchill — a lunatic lefty in academia who deserves to be verbally attacked, abused and mocked."
...erm, yeah.
