Paul Ryan Hypocrisy Revealed

[Brass]

Quote from Maverick74:

Ricter, I have a hard time believe that considering all the tough things man has to face in his life: losing their job, making a living, losing their parents, cancer, personal crime, etc, that he cannot handle a personal insult. It says a lot about your personal toughness. Life is not easy. And I know you can make choices in life to try to avoid as much as you can, insults are way down the latter of challenges one has to get through. Maybe one should consider "why" they are being insulted and work on that. I highly doubt you would draw an insult simply by coming on here and saying, "my name is Ricter and I'm a democrat." At the end of the day, we get back to us what we put out. If you don't like what's coming back at ya, maybe you need to re-evaluate what you are putting out. Just a thought.

Mav, you can be such an oily character sometimes. "Cancer's tough, so take your insults like a man." Really? Put a lot of thought into that one, did you? It shows. Ricter goes out of his way to remain civil despite the barrage of insults every one of his posts garners. If anyone has a right to place people on ignore, it it would be Ricter. Meanwhile, the characters he identified who have others on ignore give far worse than they get. And you single out Ricter? Hypocrisy much, Mav?
Oh, and I absolutely love this part:

So for Ricter to avoid being insulted he should work on not being a Democrat? Got it.

Thanks for the props, but I do wonder why you don't use ignore more yourself. I know you run Response Equity^TM, but you must enjoy flinging insults as much as the guys who insult you do...

Quote from Max E. Pad:

The only <s>person</s> swamp donkey i ever put on ignore was Brass, every now and then i still see the creature quoted, and all i ever see is a really bad 1 liner directed at me.

If I really wanted to listen to Brass, Id go buy one of those bathroom readers 101 shitty 1 liners or whatever the fuck they are called.

There has never been anyone i on this site i ever put on ignore because of their opinion on things. There is simply no point in reading posts from someone who provides zero content.

Bullshit. The content I had often and repeatedly posted was either ignored or mischaracterized. Or plain, flat out insulted. Incentive much? Meanwhile, when I gave as good as I got, you hid behind an apron but continue to spew insults from behind cover. Manly, yes. And Mav has yet to educate you as he is presently endeavoring to educate Ricter, so he must like it, too.

Self righteous indignation.

There is some truth to your observation. It wasn't that way years ago when I first joined ET. I was a bit like you, though I never quite had your level of forbearance. And when my playful jabs in response were met with outright hostility, I figured "Why take a knife to a folding chair fight?"

Huh? Brass, your reading skills are slow today. I precisely said Ricter was NOT getting insults thrown at him because he was a democrat. Re-read what I wrote. I said it had to be more then that. And I don't believe in relative morality where you defend bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior. Surely your father taught you that growing up. Maybe not...

At any case, I told Ricter that NO ONE should be using the ignore feature. Obviously you have a special place in Max's heart to be on his but I personally think he should take you off ignore. I'm not lecturing Ricter, I'm simply explaining to him that people are not attacking him randomly here. He is part of the problem. Yes, I believe Ricter is FAR more civil and respectable then you and free thinker and some others. I have told this to Ricter many times. I simply think he should look within and see if maybe, just maybe, there is something he can fix internally.

Translation: Gabby is really a misunderstood good guy and none of the insults that fly here daily are any of his fault. It's all those evil US conservatives fault.

You mean before you were banned? Gotcha....

Meanwhile the bad haircuts on your side of the aisle, some of whom are bona fide racists by the way, hurl vulgarities at others while using ignore. When was the last time you directed them to a little introspection?

Quote from Maverick74:

Ron, if someone is so emotionally weak like free thinker, that they have to put someone on ignore. It says a lot about them. Message boards are like TV, if I don't want to read a post, I just skip over it. If I don't like what I'm watching, I change the channel. The idea that that our resident atheist is so weak that he doesn't even have control over his own being says a lot about our little friend from South Dakota.

To be fair, as Ivan pointed out to me and to which I had no argument, if you believe someone just has no value, then you should put them on ignore. I put Luke on ignore, but just long enuf so he could calm the fuk down and be his regular redneck self. I was worried that he might be going over the edge there for a minute.

But overall, I agree with you that here in the basement, ignore is just not cooth. I would like to think that everyone that comes here comes with a think skin.
