    Nah. There are definitely multiple posters who uses a poster's sincerity as a weapon against them or the butt of jokes.

    It seems to me that when the liberals on this board get rough with the folks on the right here, the right-wing folks call foul and complain. When the libs call foul, they get told to essentially stop being soft.

    Seems like a pretty big double standard.

    probably. you do have to admit, however, that chowd is seemingly one of the most humorless posters on the board.

    Everyone has a sense of humor, everyone is capable of laughing. Some people just take things more seriously than others. I think he comes from a good place regardless. In any case, I'm not trying to evaluate people that much just have debate and challenge ideas. It's interesting that people get upset with that and feel the need to make personal attacks or assessments.

    Posters on here do it to me, and see they do it to you too. So we got that in common at least.

    but at least you and I can laugh it off . . . so we're pretty much morally superior in that way :cool:

    We'll the first comment excluded you from the conversation. Stay getting drunk on the internet. I don't need to validate myself to a failure like yourself. Good luck. Take my advice because of how little I think about you the more volunteering the better

    Maybe spend less time with maxim models and do yourself a favor and try volunteering yourself. Probably would help with your empathy skills or lack thereof.

    I knew you'd go there. I think people get frustrated with us because we don't cross that line. You post your opinions, which are mocking and condemning of things liberals hold dear, but without any personal attack, and that gets feathers more ruffed up than if you just attacked people. I do the same. While I have done my best to avoid personally attacking anyone, I still attack ideas and opinions, and that I feel is more infuriating than anything I ever did before.

    I think it's fascinating how much we strongly disagree on just about everything, yet there's no anger or animosity.

    No. You're a liar. Tell the truth. You don't have money but you could actually tell the truth about what you lie about
