Let's call a truce

Why is the OP blank?

Don't know. What are you clicking on?

Was a joke about ignore.

Ah. Carry on then.

Be that as it may, I entered this board with the full intention of engaging the membership amicably. I have strayed from it.

Furthermore, I view not being open to other viewpoints as weakness.



Of course, ad hominem is the default tactic for some. I shouldn't rise to the bait. Though I will defend myself if need be.

Mushy headed BS. Enough is enough. I was nice when I joined. After 04NOV2020 I left l forr a long time, years? I came back.
I'm in the right, they are wrong. I'm on the side of good, decency, properous. They support criminals to destroy the country..

I will post two new examples here. One an 80 yr old Black PENN DEM admits to murder in a work setting. It's everyday all day. They must be eliminated.

We went over to Jersey City looking for the person,” the 80-year-old Witherspoon said. “Well, when we got there, we didn’t realize it was a family. And when you talk Jersey City and you talk family, you’re talking the mafia.”

The Democrat next dropped a bombshell: he shot a man with the first name Nick after the guys left, telling the man he could blow his head off.

“They left. I had the clip in my gun. Nick came into my room, Witherspoon explained. “I said, ‘You know, Nick, I can blow your head off.’ He said, ‘Go ahead.’ And I did. I shot him in the head point-blank. This close (pointing at his head).”

Did Witherspoon not realize that he confessed to murder?

Nice idea. But I can tell you from prior experience, the ones you are offering the olive branch are almost certain to take it as a sign of weakness.

Anticipate trolling and ad hominem attacks galore to get you to react with some more snark.

Totally agree with this ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

The only time I offered the olive branch here in this board, I got poked in the eye with the sharp end.

Keep fighting. It goes to the top. Powell willing to tank the country to get Trump (and profit). TDS at highest levels. Like these Board maggots if they had opportunity. No honor. No dignity.

You can’t see posts from posters you ignore. Wasn’t that deep.

Which is why it was an obvious post in jest. You guys are pretty up tight here, probably the pedo President thing.

It's clear that every agenda in the liberal left has been defeated by Trump's election. If you translate the word "Truce" to "I surrender and I admit that I am out of agenda and arguments so don't hurt me anymore", I might go along with it for a while.

Yeah, I mean, I get it now. Wasn't trying to be a jerk, just being honest. I saw your post, thought "Huh?" and kept moving. Lol

I'm honestly disappointed by the tone you decided to take in this thread. The original post was clearly made in good faith. It took self-awareness, vulnerability, and no small amount of courage to extend that kind of olive branch publicly. That should count for something, even if you disagree with the person’s politics or personality.

I've also been putting up with his nonsense for 12 years, so I guess I'm not that "oh, I'm going to be totally understanding now".

Instead, your response has been personal, vitriolic, and frankly, cruel. It’s one thing to argue passionately over issues; it’s another to lash out in ways that seem designed to hurt someone who’s already acknowledged their flaws and made an effort to grow. Why kick someone when they’re trying to stand up straighter? You don't have to accept the truce, but you also don't have to spit on the hand that offered it.

A while back, I forget how long ago, he was on here complaining about his lot in life, and other people and I offered him good faith suggestions on what he could do. I even offered to write his resume for him. What we got were a bunch of excuses on why he couldn't do this and couldn't do that.

I'll be more impressed by actions, not words.

Your willingness to forgive and look forward might be empowering to him, and help keep him on this course. Who knows? It might even do something good for you too.

Naw, I don't come here to make friends. I come here to have a good argument.

That's why I'm here.

Do you think it's possible that a softer tone could open the door to making those arguments deeper and more meaningful, instead of just back and forth clashes? Maybe the goal isn’t to be agreeable, but to be heard.

 

[JoeB131]

Do you think it's possible that a softer tone could open the door to more meaningful discussions? Could that make the arguments deeper and increase substance?

Nope, not really.

And maybe I've been here too long watching the same people making the same bad-faith arguments.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

I can be a crass person sometimes. I've noticed that I can be very sharp-tongued and curt with people. If I am on your ignore list, I ask that you give me another chance. I am trying to tone down the invective. Yes, I know you will never see this post because I am on your ignore list, but I extend an olive branch to you if this post reaches you in some other way.

I myself don't use the ignore list anymore, because it robs me of the experience this board provides. I admit that my tact could use some work.

So, let's call a truce.

WHO are you again????


If you are a member of the supreme asshole club, hate liars/cheats/frauds, and have a sarcastic personality.
I love you.

NEVER change your ways for the enemy. If they can't take it, **** em. Thats THIER problem, not yours.
