Default Address the topic, not the author

Why is that some members seem to constantly gravitate toward attacking a poster rather than addressing a topic?

Seems to be a librul tactic and it's grotesquely idiotic and childish.

but I guess its just another case of the pot calling the kettle black...


Edit: BTW PR, I like you man and your a great poster on some stuff its just other things your out to lunch on...I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful of any of your post, I just call it how I see it! I think some people need to take a step back and realize not to take things personalty.

I can tell you one thing, I have learned more the last few years on this board then I ever learned in school or from a parent, I've been wrong about things, I prob been a little rude at time and I prob could do better at being for clear on some of the stuff I write.

Ok...I agree with you that it doesn't matter whether a person is right or left, it's stupid to attack a poster rather than address the subject matter.

I stand corrected!

Do you really want me to go through threads and find all the times you've done it yourself, PR?

I mean, really?

MrsP...we've all done it from time to time. But there are a select few who do it as a norm....that's what I'm referring to. No matter what one posts, their reply is always personal.

The people that do it are perhaps the master lever pullers?

when you say master lever you are giving away your age also ...

Constantly done to me, they despise what I post that is in the Free Press and because they don't like it instead of talking about the content they attack me and the source that originally reported it.

They HATE Drudge Fox etc for the same reason, they believe that news should be repressed that they and their little world don't agree with.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh

If I was the first person to post about OJ Simpson beheading the mother of his children they wouldn't condem Simpson they would call me a racist for posting it, it's weird, it must of killed them that 9/11 made the news.

Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr..........Poopy Pants?
