Is this your first time in ATPN or something?

No, I've participated in a handful of ATPN threads, thank you. I just wanted to highlight the disrespect you've shown to people trying to have a rational discussion. Then you tried to deflect and say your comments were "topical and relevant." And I pointed out that calling someone a "crybaby dumbass" is not topical or relevant. Your name calling is really out of line.

By all means, evade P&N and feel free to have cleaner / clearer discussions in the other forum. This "contact sport" is mere political entertainment with the joys of OT style spam.

This thread clearly demonstrates whats wrong with P&N. Fixing it is simply a matter of establishing a few simple rules, and enforcing them.

It ain't rocket science, it's basic respect. Anyone that doesn't understand how that works is incapable of having an adult conversation, and has no business discussing politics, because they don't grasp what it is. If you have to hurl insults and resort to name calling, then you don't understand the subject, you're simply parroting something you've heard elsewhere.

Like i said, i disagree, like i said, Doc is a highly thin skinned individual and i think that's highly relevant to this thread.

But anyway, you said i made 14 comments that weren't on topic. If Londo hadn't swoopped in, it probably would have been just a handful. Remember, it takes 2 to tango.



LMAO!!!! You sound like a little child "Mommy Mommy, Londo made me do it. Honest Mommy, I wouldn't have acted this way if it weren't for Londo.


Be a man and take responsibility for your lack of control/need to call people names and lash out with profanity laced tirades.

I also noted that the "thin skinned" Doc didn't engage him after repeated attacks.

M: I don't understand what you say or believe you made any such a conscious decision because your words are internally inconsistent in my opinion. Nebor says he hates you and that either does or does not affect your feelings, but if it does and does so negatively I don't believe you know it because I don't believe you know what you feel. I do not believe you can will what you feel when you are unconscious of it and I think you are unconscious of what you feel because you are unconscious of what Nebor feels when he says he hates you. He does not hate you and everybody on the forum, he hates himself and I know he does because I do and I know that's what I feel. So I know that neither you nor Nebor knows what you are talking about and that is why I do not respect your respect for his hate and neither do I respect his hate because I see that you are both sick. And I do not think the ideal state to be in is being mentally ill. If you understood hate you would transcend it. There is only love and love admits no hate.

So you have told yourself some platitudes because being free of hate is really really really really unbelievably hard to do.

Does this relate to the topic of this thread? I think it does. P & N is a place where folk can and do manifest their mental illness, the pain they suffer as egos, the desire to dominate and control, to come out on top, to punish for past defeat, etc. It's also a place where constant rubbing up against the sickness of others can perhaps by chance spare elements of recovery, those rare moments where you see what you hate in the other is yourself. We are all the same.

The thing is we have contributors that are capable of respectful legit discussion and those that aren't.

Then the huge middle that are capable but often choose not to. But I think it's the lure (for purpose of example) of incorruptible types OPs.

I know when I see a incorruptible OP the entire thing will be a shit show, like a car wreck I simply can't avoid looking.

When I read the hypocrisy, the flat out refusing to address legit points in favor of responding to hyperbole and insults, I , if in the mood will point it all out. If not I'll skip it and head over to DC where those sorts of ridiculous OPs just don't fly.

You can't have a legit thread about women's issues or anything vaguely related without the resident woman hater polluting it with non stop circular discussions. How many posts trying to compare vagina's to noses do I have to read before I deem the forum lost for the day?

So when it comes to P&N there are a handful of people that keep this place a cesspool. They wouldn't have it any other way, they like and thrive on slop.

Good dialogue and discussion is the exception here not the rule.

And it will always be that way, because the problem isn't calling someone an idiot or an asshole the problem is when people line up on your side of the fence are acting like douchebags the only people calling them out ares the same ones that don't agree ideologically.

Until we keep our own respected houses clean of nonsense this place will be entertainment value only.

That said Phokus has been a complete douche in this thread and maybe if some liberals had called him out for it earlier Londo wouldn't have had to.

Remember that you are free to express that opinion here. DC, well, not so much...

I would also hope that everyone understands that I have made a conscious decision not to take Nebor's post personally. I respect that he can hate me.

I really just think it's funny how seriously some people take it all. I don't care enough to hate anyone. :wub:

What can i say, if you didn't say something insanely stupid, i wouldn't have posted anything at you.

Take some responsibility for your incredibly terrible, factually incorrect posting yourself.

Why should he? You haven't for making this thread your personal tirade against DOC.

Thread has been closed due to the original intentions being completely derailed by personal vendettas/issues.

Another thread can be opened up without the problem issues; this one is contaminated to such that it can not be cleanup properly.
