Let Them Play CA

you are so smart...you know the difference between Truth and truth...you can do whatever you want with the capital letter I don’t care...I’m just saying you try to act like you know about things that you don’t and it’s clear by your responses that have no intellectual dialect, just ridicules and name calling
I told you about school and what it’s going to do the the less fortunate, but I guess you don’t care about them...not sure why you care if they get Covid and don’t care if they get an education...strange how you care about them sometimes but not others, not really sure how that works with you...you are more interests in trying to put people downthan help anyone out...that’s the problem with so much of the youth today, social media has destroyed them and they have no parents to regulate them...im Sure you’re parents were “hands off” and that probably has a lot to do with why you are the at you are...I’m still not going to give up on you though

Oh, I guess I should listen to an anonymous magat whiner about how the world is ending if we don’t stop remote education right now. You really sound like you know what your talking about. So persuasive with your track record of not getting what you want with anything, whether it’s schools, elections, kiddie soccer, transgender athletes, whatevs. Maybe a little more whining and everything will be different by Monday.
 
I mention that because when T became Prez there was an abundance of news articles worrying about him with regards to starting something.

The Spray Tan Tangerine Man did not end the world through nuclear war, that is true. But we should probably expect maybe a little more from our commander in chief, don’t you think? I mean, the highest budget and trade deficits in history, the most bloated federal government in history, plus almost half a million dead and a trashed economy in less than 12 months should mean something right?

So your dumb ass still blames him for Covid killing people. I wonder how all other countries avoided loss of life.

Can you enlighten us?
 
You guys shouldn’t let @EOTL wind you up so much. It’s difficult to take her seriously at all, but understand how she gets under our skin.

She is the one who would smoke in the high school wash room, pick on the special needs kid and give bjs out like candy...basically anything to feel part of the crowd. Once the crowd grows up and outgrows the childish antics, she’s left all alone.

that’s probably true, but I feel so bad. I actually feel they/she/he keep coming back because they want to be changed. They are just having a hard time dealing with everything, so I am patient

Nothing else has worked, so why not try this new approach. Trying to make someone feel bad and slink off because they have a sad, unsuccessful life only works if they actually have a sad, unsuccessful life. You’ve seen that tactic work with @crush for example, albeit only temporarily. You’ll need to find another way for me.

I will not give up on you!!! But don’t you think it’s funny...I learned that tactic from you...spew nonsense and try to make people feel bad, call them names and put them down...guess you didn’t reach me very well.

You raise a fair point, although it isn’t nonsense I spew, just what you don’t want to hear. I agree that it is effective when used on the right person.

If you are looking for another way....

You could try being polite and not insulting people or assuming they are racist.

Just a thought.

Good luck finding your path.

Couldn't agree here more with @dad4.

What I find interesting on these boards is how many of us on the left (not sure where @dad4 stands, but @Glitterhater is a good example) are willing to call out @EOTL's shenanigans, but very few of the folks that lean right here won't call out some of the extreme right dudes. I mean some of them are really bad -- racist, homophobic, etc. But even more generally, I just rarely see people calling out GOP/conservatives. It's like republicans are untouchable here and can do no wrong. Just an observation.

Let me get some popcorn :)

I'd argue that "calling out" on what is basically an anonymous message board is not the best method to address bad behavior. Ignore them. Give them nothing in return for their bad behavior. I'm speaking specifically of those who consistently exhibit "bad" behavior. I'll give people a break for occasional rants assuming I don't judge them to be "over the line" that I have in my head. If you really want to help someone, PM them with insights. Making a public show of one's higher virtue on a message becomes is just that, and I've never seen it change bad behavior.

Hey bro from socal originally, I hear ya. I'm not going to call out anyone for what they believe, left or right. I lean right sometimes and I lean left sometimes. I'm a switch hitter politically I guess. I say we all just need to calm down and not pick a group, left or right. Pick love, peace, kindness, mercy and forgiveness. If EVERYONE agrees to play this way and with no more blackmail, then we can live free. Free is free and it should be an all out free for all, for all of us willing to play fair. Not perfect, but justice in the center.

Some people (trolls) just post outrageous things for their own amusement. Unless it is a direct personal attack, just chuckle and then ignore it.

Meh. Over the summer those of us who were quick to condemn Sheriff Joe's rants said the same thing about you left leaners and EOTL. It actually took quite a while for you guys to get sick of him. For example, we have not seen much of NITF around here since dropping the "c" word, but I don't recall much outrage there either.

In my defense, I just joined in September of 2020. Took me a bit to get my bearings straight. So perhaps there is some history I haven't really seen.

You missed all the good parts then.

It began with "it's just the flu and we don't need to worry about it" v "this is very serious and we're all going to die".

Then it went into we antilockdowners screaming at the prolockdowners "you all are hysterical" v. the prolockdowners telling us "we wanted to kill grandma".

Things really went off the rails when some of the prolockdowners supported the BLM protests as special (and that was when EOTL came to prominence defending the protests when some of us were saying they would shatter the consensus of the lockdowns and being accused of being racist for not supporting the protests). Those events really did break everything because until that moment were really more or less all in it together.

Things are relatively more harmonious now since the prolockdowners were convinced this wasn't particularly harmful to kids (that really did take forever) and the consensus here at a minimum is that kids should be allowed to play.
