I don't have a strong opinion on it although it strikes me as flowery nonsense.
I have asked you directly probably half a dozen times about it, and this is the first time you have acknowledged its existence.
Well, it's actually really fucking important when it comes to the downfall of quality news reporting in America. It was attacked and repealed for a reason, you know. What happened next - the rise of conservative talk radio and Fox News - was not a coincidence.
No, you definitely haven't. It's an accusation you frequently throw into a lengthy diatribe, but I don't remember ever discussing anything about the fairness doctrine on this forum.
Exactly.
I asked you about it, point blank, multiple times.
You ignored it completely. Every single time.
If you were willing to have an honest, good faith discussion about the current disastrous state of American media, then you would be able to reference the Fairness Doctrine and its repeal, and who killed it and for what reasons, and what was the consequence of that.
But, you aren't.
Same as you'd be able to tell me who or what supercedes the Constitution as far as American public officials are concerned.
But, you won't. You'd rather play silly little games.
That's fine. But don't complain when I tell you that you're not interested in an actual discussion. If you were, you wouldn't spend so much time dancing away from one.
It's not trolling, the entire forum tires of your lengthy, insult laden diatribes. It's why other members are constantly reporting you and you're ending up pinked. I'm offering you and the other guy who use the forum as their own personal toilet a place to go and do what you want without runing the forum for others. I can't recall the last time you actually responded to me with an honest retort. Generally it's an accusation of some sort, or lately just blatant trolling
Yes yes, you are the Big Man on Campus here, you have lots of friends who you exchange PMs with, and I'm a little nobody noob who everybody hates, I get it.
I've never trolled you, and I've tried countless times to just let bygones be bygones, but everytime you have flat refused in favor of overt and publicly admitted trolling. As I've said to you countless times before, it's not everyone else that's the problem.
I respond to what you say, and ask you to back your claims with some sort of context.
I don't understand why being asked to back your claims with some evidence is so offensive to you.
I'll have to take your word for it, I don't have any. As I've told you before, your perception that I hate you, is imagined.
I wouldn't expect that you do hate me.
Hate is a very strong word for someone who you wouldn't recognise if they shared a taxi with you.
Everyone on the forum, inclluding the owner of the site has told you that you're the problem, yet you refuse to acknowledge it. You need to learn that words on a screen can lack the context of sarcasm, or dry humor and that not everything written is intended to be taken literally and personally. You also need to stop generalizing everyone who disagrees with you as being the same person, and responsible for participating in the same actions. While you're throwing your tantrums you frequently list things that you find to be offensive that I haven't engaged in.
I have reached out and attempted to find common ground - for instance, I have no problem outlining specific criticisms of CNN. Or of Biden, or Kamala, or Pelosi or the Squad, or RBG, or Stacy Harris or any Democrat you want to name. No problem with that at all. I even made a thread about left-wing bullshit. Will you outline specific criticisms of the right-wing media or the GOP, which is now an openly anti-democratic party? I haven't seen it. Seen a lot of "both sides are the same, that's it, and
nothing you post to indicate otherwise will even be acknowledged", though.
I have also - more than once, I believe - directly apologised to you for ascribing another poster's statement to you, and admitted fault for it. (it's sometimes hard to keep that straight when you're relatively new, avatars are so tiny, and a lot of posters keep repeatedly changing their usernames).
Would you say that you are likely to acknowledge the validity of any point that I have made in response to you?
You also might consider purging the word "troll" from your vocabulary as you constantly misuse the word.
You've never trolled me, not even once. Not even a single time. Not ever. All the fault is on me, your conduct has been exemplary at all times.
Okay, righto. Yeah....... this seems like a good faith hatchet-burying.
Failing all that, feel free to put me on ignore, it's not like we're dating.
Why would I put you on ignore?
Because we only agree 80% politically, and not 100%?
That's a bit ridiculous, isn't it? Where I'm from, disagreement doesn't automatically indicate hatred. I'm having two best men when I get married next year. No combination of the three of us has ever voted for the same party. Sometimes we argue about politics. So what? Sealing ourselves off into an echo chamber where we only consume media or interact with people that will feed us what we want to believe, will never lead us to a good place. Echo chambers are boring and harmful.
