jesus JR, get over it already!!
don't you have anything better to do than give alex shit day after day?!!!?

CJ, i admit that i am being very childish at times. sometimes its just to vent. sometimes its just because i personally find humor in something i posted.

Its his constant condescending tone, while trying to explain to everyone they are wrong that annoys me. its one thing to present an opinion and defend it. its another thing entirely to present opinion as fact, talk down to people because they have different views and then begin posts with remarks like "you just dont get it" while dancing around the questions.

I have tremendous respect for PornoDoggy. He has changed my views on many things and caused me to come more to center due to his ability to provide a balanced argument. He often does so knowing that the odds are not in his favor when he presents an argument that he knows will not be popular.

Alex simply spends his time trying to get everyone to understand that Alex is right. that Alex's perceptions are the only truths and that his opinions are fact. that to me is really annoying. it does not make it right for me to flip him shit... but at the same time, he does it while evading tough questions because he knows where they are leading. which really annoys me to no end.

People can attack me all they want. people have and people sometimes do. anyone who gets offended by something said on a messageboard has no business posting on messageboards. all messageboards are the same... whether they are about math, religion, investing or porn. the characters are the same... the conversations are the same and the arguments are often the same.

MikeAI, Vick and others were calling me a traitor and Communist when i was suggesting it was contradictory to assassinate Hussein in the name of democracy and freedom to choose. thats life. i dont respect them any less and i understand their opinions and why they feel strongly about what they said. they made their points and defended them. i respect that. thats what messageboards are often about. its almost never pretty. its certainly what this messageboard is about. i certainly never got pissy about it, threatened lawsuits or threatened to hurt them, their families and their business as Alex did with me.

I do have better things to do that flip him shit everyday BTW. i have reduced myself to flipping him shit every 3-4 days now.
