I am not calling Bfine a member of the KKK, but the analogy is spot on.

Bfine has stooped to accusing me of being a pedophile because I disagreed with him.  It is comical to hear him get all self-righteous and complain about others being "motivated by ugliness".

I simply said an adult male that enjoys watching children (as young as 5 years old), being painted up and dressed up as adults and then forced by adults to use profaine phrases could be signs of a pedophile.

It was up to the individual to determine if they disagreed with the stance and/or if the shoe fit.

Admittedly I was shocked at the number of adult men that we had on this board that applauded such action and may have overstepped in my judgement and for that I personally (PM'd) apologized to anyone that might have been offended.

BTW, I still stand by my assertion of the tendencies, but will reserve the judgement.

I understand what you mean by saying that the analogy has the same basic form of "having a stance at some particular time and then playing it off as a joke later".

I was just hoping to convey that using analogies containing characteristics that have such strong emotional ties for almost all people increases the likelihood of the conversation escalating beyond what one might consider civil conversation.

Was this a conversation about child beauty pageants or something? 

I'm sure you could see how making such assertions could cause incitement though. 

When it comes down to it, a lot of the posting in P&R ends up being the most polite way we can offend and demean each other. We have to remember the spirit and purpose of the forum when getting into heated discussions, so as to have the sharing of worldviews be productive for each other.

It was actually about the "Potty Mouthed Princesses" (admittedly, I still haven't watched the entire video and never will)and was discussed over two years ago. I was relatively new to the P'nR forum and was simply shocked by the responses.

I have come to understand there are various points of view that differ from what I consider the norm.

Spot on. I've found that when conversations get personal (in a negative manner) there is almost never any ground gained in understanding how one another thinks, which leads to negative assumptions. We all stand upon some basic understanding of the world around us and if I'm misfiring with someone in conversation I just scale it back a bit to a point where we both agree and go from there (or I just don't participate if the conversational partner insists on focusing on the differences in a negative manner).

That is a helpful logical pattern for me when dealing with hot button issues where people become unfriendly towards each other.

To start with, Neb didn't start the thread you referenced.

So ten totals votes for Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton and this forum is "liberal" in your opinion?  

Quote:If you want to proclaim that as an "everythink you wrote is wrong.  Literally, everything." moment; then that speaks volumes about your mentality and your "purpose" in this forum. 

"Enough about me."

These two quotes speak to your mentality and "purpose" in this forum . . .

I just let you guys have your fun for a time running with something that was never actually said.

You like to not say things in as many words as possible so you can later claim you didn't say what you claim you never said.  Kinda like "moronic scientists," but you did not say "scientists were moronic" because you said "moronic scientists" . . . which is different. Everybody else just needs to disregard the standard practices of modern English when you use an adjective such as "moronic" to describe a noun such as "scientists."  Because, inexplicibly, you weren't using that adjective to describe that noun the way everyone else is taught to use adjectives to describe nouns.

You were just explaining any time a scientiest attempts to understand anything which is created they "appear" moronic.  Since everything is "created" scientists "appear" moronic everytime the attempt to understand anything and everything.  Meaning they "appear" moronic all the time.  

That is a stupid argument.  Although, I never said your argument was stupid.  Only that your argement "appeared" to be stupid when anyone attempted to understand it.  Understand?  (I hope not because you would appear moronic "in an attempt to figure out" something you don't understand.)

Quote:I actually started this thread as a light-hearted parallel to Zona's "Shout out to the PRers" thread, but some folks are more motivated by ugliness. 

In the spirit of conversation I have recently started replying to those I once identified as nothing more that those that wanted to cause decisiveness in this forum. I now see that may have been a mistake on my part (and before we start playing Pigeon Chess; it has absolutely nothing to do with "being called out".  

What does any of this have to do with "being called out"?  

I've never labeled this forum as liberal, conservative, or other.  I guess I need more decisiveness in my decision making process.

This board is very independent, leaning more towards libertarianism (lower case "L") as Gary Johnson being the most popular candidate here shows us. Libertarianism isn't Lucie calling for the government to regulate who you can have sex with and marry.

The fact is we just had a completely unqualified and morally reprehensible ticket from the Republican, so the attacks were focused towards there. You would have seen a lot more hate directed at Clinton had someone like Jeb, Kasich, Perry, or Rubio been the nominee.

Isn't it also easier to claim you never said anything when your posts are phrased as questions?

Question for bfine...

Do you have a porn-stache ?

For some reason, I've always pictured you with the Freddy Mercury look.

I opted for BengalBoard (this time)

While looking in the mirror and reviewing my rep page it occurred to me how awesome I am.

If you are wondering why I’m mentioning all of this, I actually do have a point. While I was thinking about how liberal this forum is, it dawned on me that I am often the lone conservative voice of reason in a Politically Correct world gone mad.

That, IMO, deserves a positive callout and a pat on the back. Good job bfine!

Post something positive about bfine and give him rep (no limit per customer).
