Problems that came up in the politics thread on 10/26.

Ok, I have created this thread to resolve our difficulties in the politics thread, and so that thread can return to its normal purpose.

I hate myself for even posting in this thread that never should have been made, but

To Frink:

How are we supposed to clear the air and come to an understand or whatever if you are unwilling to listen and read posts (especially those that are replies to posts you made)?

That will never happen no matter how much I listen and read the posts you guys are making. As evidence I present the entire history of your posts.

With a title like that you would think someone had been murdered.

Sheesh. Ok. Thanks for being reasonable. Not.

I created this thread on advise. I did it to keep this discussion from interfering with the actual discussion of politics.

Frink, carry on not listening and giving me and others attitude, I sure that will help solve things.

I said on advice, not necessarily for advice. But I wouldn’t mind advice either.

I feel like many people misinterpreted how I really feel about the Bulge. Listen, I love Bowie and will always admire and respect the Bulge but the Bulge is really neither here nor there. That was my point, that’s why I brought up the Christmas tree. Yeah the Bulge was big and scary but the problem wasn’t with the Bugle, it was with me. It wasn’t even really a problem.

I stand corrected, this was a worthwhile thread after all.

The only thing being murdered around here is common sense.

Creating this thread was not the advice you were given.

Technically you are correct. The advice was to take the conversation the appropriate thread. I did not see an appropriate thread, so I created one.

Sometimes it pays to help your fellow posters out, and in turn, help yourselves out too - this is a community after all.

Warbler, it might help if you clearly stated what you were trying to sort out in this thread.

The disagreements that occurred in the politics thread yesterday and today?

Author

yes, well, if you can’t take the time to clearly point them out right here, how can you expect meaningful conversation?

Well how can we have any meaningful conversation when one of us(Frink) can’t even be bothered to read the relevant posts in the politics thread?

We had a fight break out in the politics thread yesterday and today. Part of it had to do with me sighing too much(by the way note how I haven’t sighed since the fight broke out) but there seems to be more to it). Anyway, I just created this thread to separate that conversation from the normal political discussion of the politics thread.

Okay, so part of the problem is Frink is very opinionated, and he often will often poke the bear. (As evidence of the latter, I submit the Burj-Khalifa bunny.)

Also part of the problem is that Warbler is very opinionated and has a hard time accepting his opinion as opinion instead of as truth. (As evidence of the latter, I submit the ST’09-killed-Trek-Prime argument in the Star Trek thread.)

Regarding the former in both cases, there is a middle ground between either of your positions on controversial issues, and you both have difficulty acknowledging the merit of the opposing view. Although it may appear to me for different reasons—Warbler does not acknowledge opposing view when he simply perceives it as wrong, not just different; Frink does not acknowledge opposing view when he simply doesn’t want to and it’s more funny for him to poke holes in it.

I think the actual problem is that there wasn’t really any real problems and yet we now have a whole thread devoted to nothing at all.

And yet no thread devoted to the Bowie Bulge…

If there wasn’t an actual problem, what were we arguing about for the last few pages in the politics thread?
