A thread about us finally getting OBL, which should be a cause for unity is hijacked by folks taking personal shots at one another...seriously, Nascar is in fact an internet bully but that's hardly news, the unfortunate thing is he's leading folks down an unfortunate path. Responding merely feeds his ego at the expense of meaningful discussion.

Chastising people while standing on a permanent soapbox helps move along discussions well also.

Making an obvious point is a long way from chastising anyone, and the soapbox thing has become rather stale don't you think?

dude Riot accused him of being a wife beater. I would have said a lot worse than the "C" word.

She's going to come back and say she didnt call him a wife beater.. just said he has the same characteristics of a wife beater. (which is kind of true of what she did say.. but i still wouldnt have taken it lightly)

Nascar is certainly not the best internet poster in the world. But if someone had accused me of being abusing my wife I wouldnt be happy about it either.

I just figured out my post made it sound like Riot called Nascar a mens t-shirt.

[Antitrust32]

just so I dont get accused of making things up here is the old Riot post:


"You're kind of a textbook case of the domineering misogynistic jackass, who sometimes degenerates into wife-beating.

Ordering another person what to feel, attempted control of anothers emotions (setting them up for failure if they dare disagree with you)

Attempted disparagement, but passive-aggressive, justification of their aggressive actions by saying another agrees with them

Threat of future harm

Yup. You're the textbook misogynistic jackass. Good luck with that, buddy. "


so while I dont really care for Nascars continued posts of "I dont care what you think of me, clean your toilet, iggy list" I understand his frustration towards Riot.

but seriously, nobody even lets him write a post without jumping down his throat. just ignore it instead of throwing fuel on the fire.

I'm not aware of what Riot posted about Nascar, but saying one has the characteristics of something is NOT the same as saying one is in fact that something. Inflamatory perhaps but not the same. In any event, Riot is capable of addressing this herself but folks here sometimes seem unable to differentiate subtle differences. OK, just read the repost...again, my point remains, she uses the word "sometimes", not the same as "always" or "does".

even with the word sometimes... it would have infuriated me if I was the one accused.

I understand Nascar's anger about it. Plus the guy cant even make one post with out being jumped on. I think its excessive even if the guy does make dumb comments.

She just thinks I'm a dumb bitch.. so thats fine. I think the world of Riot.

I'm beating a dead horse here but...she didn't "accuse" she implied at worse. Maybe not the best response, but when one is drawn into battle, one will respond in kind, to take her post in context you really have to look at events leading up to same. Now I'm doing what I said others have done, being distracted from the subject of the thread, so I will leave it at that.

So, are you saying Nascar should expect a visit from Navy Seals?

[Antitrust32]

So now that Obama isnt going to release pictures of Osama... what will Indian Charlie do now?

WWICD?

Regardless of what the conspiracy theorists say it is exactly the right decision, there is nothing to be gained from releasing morbid photos and the reaction could be harmful to innocent folks.

While I agree that there is nothing to gain by them releasing the photo, the harmful reaction is still a realistic scenario regardless of the photo, burial and so on.

For the record though, I would have liked to see it.

I get it, you feel compelled to disparage anyone you disagree with,

Pictures eventually always seemed to be "leaked" (saddam hanging video). The President certainly doesnt need to release them to prove he's really dead (of course he was killed this week). But I would not be surprised to see them circulate in the future.

Not at all. It just gets old reading about how great you think you are. Change the record already.

I already know what your smug response is going to be, so save it.
