oh i get it.
you know, for a mod, you’re not very objective…or unbias. or mature.
this is a forum designed to spread knowledge and have intellectual discourse. you have spent the last few pages basically trying to flex your opinion muscles, prove how you know more than me, to the point you descended into a needlessly long, pointless debate that ends with you agreeing with what i said from the very start.
you think you’re in a position to demand i answer every question you feel i should (which only ever served for you prove your points right or try to make me look stupid–in zero cases was it an attempt to move the conversation forward or try to progress the thread in an intellectual way. it was only about you trying to prove you’re right about something–anything).
now XTs adding nothing constructive, only demanding continuous bickering for no reason…on a ponit that from the start HE ALREADY AGREED WITH ME ON. now he has to keep on and on debating exactly to what degree he agrees?? lord. :rolleyes:
as a moderator, you allow people’s needless and pointless condescending down-talking so long as it suits you–condescention that does nothing but serve to make one person feel superior…? to what end?
over an issue that, holy shit–i was honestly seeking an intellectual answer (you provided, without cite, “no.” wow. so academic).
several hundred previous posts have been nothing but personal hubris…
as a mod, you shouldn’t participate in such trivial nonsense. as a mod, you shouldn’t allow one person to say needlessly insulting things like “psh, maybe next time read a book or something. WE don’t have to provide CITES. YOU need to go READ A BOOK tho.”
i provided no opinions. i provided nothing but cites and articles to support what i was saying and why i was saying it. nothing i said was my long-standing opinion or personal interest. it was simply what research i had found. you never argued the research. you only said “i” was wrong, and only because “you say so.”
you wanted to argue for the sake of it. when i proved one thing, you’d ignore it and move on to whatever else you could find to bicker. if you felt maybe you had a wedge to make me look stupid (like why “jews” was in quotes), you’d DEMAND me to acknowledge it, hoping you could make me look dumb, not attempting to promote the conversation in an intellectual way.
when i proved there’s a religious connection, you forced a conversation about the difference between lobbyist and tried to make me look stupid as if i was flip flopping on the subject. “jewish americans don’t matter at all,” you said. when i proved the link of lobbyist and our ally connection, you wanted to bicker about how the votes don’t matter. when i prove the votes matter the most, you want to bicker about partisan affiliations.
when i prove that never mattered to stat with, you want to demand i’ve renegged on my stance. when i proved i’ve basically settled into the same data i provided in my second post on the subject and point out YOU are the one who has renegged on YOUR stance, you resort to attack grammar and spelling errors.
now you’re allowing other people to fling insults, imply i’m ignorant, and when i point out they are just being a troll, you moderate ME.
you need to respectfully take as step back and look at how you’ve behaved and how desperate you’ve been to win at debate–ANY DEBATE–even if it means correcting typos.
you’re a MODERATOR, for christsake. act like one.
