On the other hand, since Lib went on his meds, he has become so obtusely boring, I don’t think I have responded to anything he has written since he came back from his self-imposed exile.
OK, thanks for the clarification.
I posted my take on this earlier in the thread and wanted to make it clear I was offering my own opinion, and other mods might fell differently about it.
Do you want a cookie?
The fallacy of the excluded middle or false dilemma or whatever you want to call it is when two statements are represented to be logical opposites and, appealing to the excluded middle, one of them must be true. For example, “you’re either in Lib’s fan club or you’re a Lib hater. I don’t see you listed on the membership rolls, you damned dirty Lib hater!”
Give me a break.
I don’t pile on Liberal anymore than 30-40% of the posters here.
I stay out of his retarded rambling threads and keep my comments in threads dedicated to Liberal and his retarded behaviour - like in the pit or this forum.
I’m not saying anything other people aren’t saying and I get involved far less than some as well.
So, outside of those places where the topic IS Liberal, what the hell is this “history” you’re talking about.
Cite?
You want me to cite your own posts to you? You wrote them.
Actually, I think he’s saying that they don’t exist, and is challenging you to find them.
Sometimes I think I’m the only person in the world who reads for comprehension…
Don’t play dumb.
:rolleyes:
You know what I’m saying but I’ll type slowly so you understand it.
Prove. to. me. I. have. a. “history”. with. Liberal. beyond. the. other. posters. here.
I think you’ll find my “history” is recent - like only about 6-8 months old.
And as the author of his own posts, I’m saying he does, so why do I need to waste the time finding them?
So–you’re accusing Seven of stalking lib and saying that it’s up to Seven to find posts that prove he’s not?
Marley, c’mon. You know better than that.
See, this is what happens when you brag about knowing how to read… You ghost-wrote Seven’s posts?
The reason you need to waste your time trying to find them is because you’re the one claiming that he has a history of harassing Liberal. So let’s see it.
On preview, what Fenris said.
You’re the only person who has used the word stalking, and that’s twice. I didn’t suggest the concept. I said Seven has been a critic of Liberal in the past, which is inarguable. I also didn’t imply there was an issue going back “years.”
Oh, well that’s all right then.
Good. You’re not going to tell me that there aren’t years-old grudges between some posters, are you? I specifically didn’t say anybody had been on Liberal’s case for years.
You said that Seven and I “weren’t co-presidents of his fan club” and strongly implied that we “had grudges with Lib that went back years” and we “jump his shit without any provocation.” Sounds like an accusation of stalking to me.
But that aside, you’re still making an accusation (although now that I read the actual words, I have to agree with Tenebras and say “Wha?”) of some sort about Seven history/motives and then challenging him to find posts to prove that he’s not guilty of…um…whatever you’re accusing him of.
C’mon dude. :rolleyes:
You didn’t have to specifically have to say it given how strongly you implied it. You listed me, Seven and Leander, then went on, in the same paragraph to talk about posters who “jump Lib’s shit”.
That’s the entire point. I’m sorry you’ve missed it, but it seems rather obvious that he’s asking why it is liberal isn’t held the same rules as everyone else (except Tom, of course). What do you mean “even if you’re correct about it being a rules violations, what’s the point?”? That’s the sum total of the point: Liberal, as I understand the argument, isn’t required to follow the rules like everyone else.
If he’s correct, then his point is, well, you know, evidenced. And that brings us back to why Liberal is free to disregard the rules to the exclusion of almost everyone else. At least that’s what I’m getting from his OP.
He did posit: "I understand that GD is where witnessing threads go, but why is he allowed to have a multi-thread, totally content free, ‘you have to agree to my beliefs’ thing going on?
He has literally stated that there is NO debate when it comes to this subject so why is it even in there?"
So, I guess my question to you is if it’s shown to be the case that it is a rule violation and nothing is done, what’s the point in pretending there are rules that apply equally everywhere?
What is the point indeed.
A fair assessment, I think. Do you disagree?
You’re off your game today. I made a general comment about bad blood on the boards: posters sometimes have grudges going back a long time, and I find that stuff a snooze. I did not accuse anybody of having a years-old issue with Liberal. You’ll notice I didn’t say “you guys have been criticising him for years.”
I said Seven knows his own posts. I don’t believe that qualifies as an accusation.
I didn’t challenge Seven to anything. I said I don’t feel the need to comb through his posts.
I was asking “What’s the purpose of reading all five of the threads if you feel they are pointless.” I believe that’s clear in context.
I don’t think he’s been allowed to disregard the rules.
Marley has a history of sticking his fingers in his ears and going “lalalalalalalalalaalalala”.
Don’t waste your time guys.
