Wow, WV\_Woman sure hit a nerve! Makes one think, doesn’t it? I happen to agree with what she says, but i wouldn’t have bothered to post it in this arena. What’s the damn point, everyone here is sooooooo afraid to express an unpopular opinion.

Pish and tosh. The problem is not that she holds an unpopular opinion; it is that she is plain wrong in her facts, for example, on Muslims.

What facts? This thread was not based on renderings of fact, just opinion. What followed was a pile-on because people objected to or disagreed with the things WV\_Woman said, or how she stated them. She didn’t mention Muslims in any of her twenty-odd points, which means that you (and presumably others) are carrying over resentments from her statements and/or behavior in other threads and holding them against her. Why not be honest about it?

Well my opinion is that she is self-centered and not to much of a critical thinker. I also think that **WV Woman** is not a troll. She voiced her opinion, I voiced my opinion. The system works!

Wow! That’s such an _amazing_ coincidence that you:

1. Are also a newly registered posted (See WV\_Woman)
2. Also just happen to be from WV also
3. Agree with what she says.

Strange how that all works, isn’t it? 😉

Who’s afraid? Lots of people express unpopular opinions, here and elsewhere.

But the thing about unpopular opinions, y’see, is that they’re, well, unpopular. That means other people disagree with them. Sometimes loudly.

So, kindly suck it up and get over yourself, hmm? Martyrdom isn’t pretty.

**Fenris** , care to explain how you can be the “nastiest Doper” at the same time that “they’re all as nasty as” you? If they are as nasty as you, doesn’t that mean that they have the same level of nastiness (nastitude?)? So while you might be at the pinnacle of Doper nasticity, you can’t claim the be the nastiest.

_Darn_ it, **Slainte**. WV and Rosie may be _heels_, they may be _close-knit_, they may even _toe_ the same line, but you _garter_ report any suspicions you might have about 'em to the Mods, if you think they’re not what they _seam_ to be.

You agree with every one of her points? Including “no one should drive on the road but me” and “gosh, my hubby got laid off by some _foreigner_ and now I might have to get my lazy ass up and go to work”? :rolleyes:

Just FYI, Squish:

My husband has never been laid off. I work for a plastic company owned by some Italians who are laying off hardworking people right and left, never mind that they’ve been there 20 years.

Anyhow, I’m through with this board. Regardless of the things I’ve said, aside from maybe two of you, the only replies I have gotten from you people is “fuck you.” How dare you people call yourselves “open minded” when the only viewpoints your little worlds have room for is those that agree with yours?

At least I can say I never personally attacked any of you.
