Gabriella84 said:Merlin has a wife? :shocked:
Gabriella84 said:The smilie WAS a joking reference. I already knew Merlin had a wife. And I am sure she is a very nice person. Twas not a "jab" of any kind.
All difficult people (including myself) need a person with the ultimate amount of patience, compassion and understanding to put up with their BS. I am most fortunate to have found mine.
I am sure we will have a wonderful marriage, if he doesn't kill me at some point.

A little bit of backup links from a mainstream newsource will help with the whole "no substantiation" argument. (Not likely that moveon.org would be accepted as a valid source of anything other than talking points, CNN would get you some jibes.)
Gabriella84 said:So why should I even bother? You are not going to accept any source left of Fox and the NY Post as "credible." Your idea of "mainstream" is Rush Limbaugh.
I see no reason to regurgitate what has already been stated in the major media. Outside of the U.S., the New York Times is ranked along side The London Observer as one of the most conservative newspapers in the world. Unfortunately, conservatives place the "liberal" tag on any source that prints or broadcasts criticism of the Bush Administration.
Sean Hannity has said so himself -- the media's "job" is to report administration policy without comment or criticism. Since any criticism of an American president during "war time" is seen as a sign of division and weakness and thus offers aid and comfort to our enemies.
no1tovote4 said:My point wasn't that it wasn't a joke, but that it would likely be taken as a jab without extra explanation... Especially when you use the same language often when directing such comments at other posters when they are actually meant to be jabs. Do what it takes to make people understand that you are joking and likely your negrep problem will vanish like the zits from a teen when they reach about 22.
I read almost all of your posts with a sardonic humor that I find enjoyable. Others seem to take them as direct attacks.

You can peer into a few liberal posters with actual substantial rep points, Bullypulpit, Nakedemperor, and others and see it isn't the opinion that takes you there it is the "voice" you project in your posts. A little extra j/k's and 's until people get to know the voice would help substantially.

Kathianne said:Gabby, I'm pretty sure I explained to you how to address this problem before. Often I can find a 'back up source', i.e., NY Times, CNN, AP, whatever; to add 'credence' to a more conservative, analytical piece from say Townhall, etc.
That's how one gets around that problem. Sometimes it can't be done, which means in all likelihood, that the piece you are posting, can be ripped.

dilloduck said:Cmon---kudos are spread around for all sorts of reasons ( some quite trite) and not necessarily well documented posts.
Shattered said:I said kudos. I didn't say rep points. You're either gonna get those, or you're not. Period.
