They are meant to show them another perspective. However, I will observe the rules as they are interpreted by you. And that's not meant as a put down."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

The #1 forum-specific rule from the Rules link above: "No Personal attacks, Flaming and Trolling." So why is Kallend still allowed to post here? That's All he does. Oh I forgot he thinks like you so its ok.... MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

wmw999 2,148 #60 September 1, 2015 Because he's not deliberately trolling; he just uses the Socratic method (ask a question, tell you where you're wrong, and wait for another answer, so he can tell you where you're wrong with that one, too). From Google: "It is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas." My father was also a college professor. If you don't know the answer he's looking for, or agree with it, it's infuriating. But not necessarily trolling. Sometimes the line is pretty thin, though Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,351 #62 September 1, 2015 wmw999 ...Sometimes the line is pretty thin, though Wendy P. There's often a fine line between arguing and trolling, between a pejorative and a PA. Some people are very, very good at knowing where that line is."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Know this Wendy I was NOT deliberately trolling either I was using a very well used tactic seen here"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

From one of your earlier trolling posts - "That really seems to tick em off as evidenced here don’t you think?"[/quote Link? To your point I use the extact same tactic as done by others. It is is used to turn the perspective Some people do not like it and it pisses them off It is not my fault they can not handle what the post put back at them I did not say I was posting that too piss them off I just said it does puss them off Big difference"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

wmw999 2,148 #66 September 1, 2015 You generally get accused of trolling when you say something upthread like "I'm just posting this to piss people off." And Kallend has been warned plenty of times; dunno about banning. I generally just don't engage with people who irritate me too much, here and IRL. As far as being a judge, nope -- just exercising my opinion. Man it used to piss me off when my father would try to get me to find my own way in a physics problem where I really had no idea. I'd tell him that I KNEW the question; I needed to know how to get the answer Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

winsor 187 #74 September 1, 2015 masterblaster72*** People get a lot of latitude here Indeed! I hope I get the same multiple-one-warnings kind of latitude as well if/when I get out of line. People! We have gone OFF TOPIC here! I disagree with the suggestions that nonresident aliens be tattooed with bar codes. Requiring them to wear unobtrusive electronic tags, either in a piercing or an ankle bracelet for the unpierced, would do just fine. These tags would be programmed to go into alarm mode when a visa expires, and would transmit their GPS coordinates to Homeland Security so they could be gathered up without much fuss. Even the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aliens) would find this approach humane. As you were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
