Reeder, I’ve bitten my tongue for so long I’m able to speak 4 different tongues at once. (Though my wife kinda likes it)
In just the latest Pit thread you opened, you again confirmed my suspicions. In this thread, you give a simple link with an 8 word OP. No rant, no follow up, no ideas of the story in whole. Just 8 words to get the party started.
Like many of your Pits, it’s a vehicle to get other Dopers to argue points while you sit back and smile and jump in with a few lines here and there that really don’t add anything to what’s being discussed. Other than a few jabs towards Bush, I don’t see much of an argument about the Admins positions and yours and how they are diametrically different.
In other forums, I actually enjoy some of your posts. In the one concerning inappropriate holiday movies, you were the forst to mention the perfect one in Silent Night, Deadly Night. And I was the first to say it was perfect for the discussion. But get to the Pit, and all bets are off.
I can’t possibly slog through all your posts to find these, but you know damn well you have repeatedly said you’re neither a Republican nor Democrat. And I’ve called you on this before with no response.
Every single political rant I’ve seen you open has been to bitch about the Republicans. Or as you say “repugs”. Not only have I never seen a Pit thread from you about the Dems, but I’ve never seen you come up with a pithy nickname for them. So what is it? Are you a Dem and too ashamed to say so? Or are you really against both parties? Dopering minds want to know! Where exactly do you stand so we know what viewpoint you’re taking? Hell, we have open Communists here. Just let us know where you’re coming from.
I have the feeling you sit in front of 3 computers waiting for the latest feed from the Democratic Underground to come in to rant about it here. That’s fine. I’d just appreciate a rant every now and then instead of a link and “seed idea” to get everyone going instead of you.
He says he does, but since I have yet to see a rant about any liberals, I have to assume he favors one over the other. And since there are no rants about liberals, the claim of not liking either seems a little suspect. Wouldn’t you agree?
What if I said I hate all dual-name Dopers with names starting with “c” and “e”, but refused to tell you in which order the letters appear? Would that ambiguity be acceptable?
You must be the only one. (And how did I know you’d be here to try to stir it up? Weakly)
Let’s wait for Reeder to deny it. He’s usually honest enough that I trust he’ll reassert it. If not, I have all weekend to wade through previous posts. Desmo, shut the fuck up before you spout shit you can’t back up. :dubious:
And of course, you see my name and just have to get some sort of lame response/pseudo-insult in there. You’re a joke and you’ve proven it. This was the best insult you could come up with in a thread I started that had nothing to do with you? Taking a line I typed that was in context and quoting it entirely out of context?
Desmo, I have no time for you. Frankly, I’m more concerned with how my carpet thinks of me than whether you would ever save me from drowning. You’re just not important to me. Sorry to burst your bubble. :rolleyes:
Wait. I thought everyone knew that Reeder is a flaming leftist. There’s confusion on this issue? Is everybody stupid except me, or is it the other way around?
No. Reeder has said he’s neither left nor right. Rep nor Dem, Cons nor Lib.
If I must, I can find some posts. I know one was at least in the last 3 months. But I trust he’ll say the same. Otherwise, I’ll have to bust him and Desmo in a much less civil thread.
Why you think I’d be bullied into something from you is beyond comprehension. Reeder, elucidator, Diogenes, LHoD, Miller, rjung, and jshore would all be trusted with my newborn before I trusted so much as a weather report from you.
Keep talking punk. It has little more effect on me than whether I use 3 or 4 swipes to clean my ass after taking a Desmo.
I don’t know about Reeder’s political leanings but I do know that I have seen posts where he refers to “repugs and dims”, so I had assumed he hated all politicians.
Isn’t the whole point of the Pit to incite arguments? Why are you so concerned about Reeder taking one side? Is there some requirement that for every 10 right-wing flames he makes, he must make at least 1 left-wing flame?
Geez…settle down son you’ll bust a blood vein if you aren’t careful.
What I do in the pit is I rant my way. I am not as verbose as many of our esteemed dopers. I just post to get things out. I actually don’t really care if anyone responds to them as long as they are read.
I have never said I was neither left or right. I’m about as far left as you can be and still see the center.
I have upon occasion referred to the left side of the aisle as “dims”
I mostly bash the right because that is where 99% of the bullshit comes from. It’s not so much that I support left leaning politicos but I don’t see them doing much that IMHO would hurt our country.
I don’t believe our government as it is being run now from both sides has our countries best interests at heart.
I will do my best to flesh out my rants from this point on.
