    So IRL you mock people's livelihoods instead of answering the question they asked you. Fascinating.

    Most prisons are better than fascist dictatorships. I'm not saying people should punished if they don't vote for Biden. But it is a fact that they will be.

    Given that I only read it *after* I've been interacting with her for the last couple weeks, ... :shrug: I don't know. It could have been bragging. It could have been "yea, I can be as brutal as you guys claim". Or maybe it's one of those defensive things in that other people she knows blame her and she's just "owning" it. I don't know. But, no, I do not believe she truly intended to drive someone to commit suicide. But, then, I tend to give a lot of people the benefit of a doubt - especially when others don't. Mind, that last statement was not in any way intended to be an admonishment. Just that ..., that's who I am.

    I wouldn't take anyone's single post and attempt to encapsulate them. I tend to make judgement due to a pattern of behavior. Take TLS or apostle for example. Both showed absolutely no ability to see beyond their religion and consistently posted hateful things about other people. I haven't seen Tererun repeat that boast - if it was a boast. I haven't seen her putting a skull and crossbones in her signature of people she has driven to commit suicide the way Sokar used to do about the people he supposedly drove of the board. That is what I judge.

    Even Federal Farmer ..., yes, I know, I've been just as mean to him as others, but I do not believe he's an idiot, nor a child. I've even stated on here that I believe he has shown an ability to adjust his views based on things others on here have said to him.

    If you judged everyone by one post, I'm certain you would have hated me a long time ago as I know I have said some really stupid things - not just here, but at trekbbs and in real life as well. Pretty sure, if everyone is being honest with themselves, they would say the same of themselves.

    I was here when Castle posted. I was here when Sokar posted here. In my opinion, he was probably the most intentionally hurtful poster here - well, since 2008/2009 (can't remember my start date). But, this thread, while not being intentionally hurtful, does show how this place can take one post and turn it into the drama even of the year - hell, teenage girls would be in awe of this place, this drama this place creates out of nothing.

    queue garamet to now call me out on teenage girls ... :rolleyes:

    Admittedly I skimmed over a lot unnecessary back and forth in this thread because it was really dumb, and so I may be mistakenly lumping you in with @Tererun. If you never said you'd be either not voting or voting third party, then I apologize.

    @The Night Funky, I gave you an honest, thought out answer and you gave it a facepalm.

    What is it you're looking for?

    You said that voting for Biden was illogical, that voting for Biden didn't matter, that voting for a third party candidate wasn't a vote for Trump, which is plain false, and that we weren't allowed to be upset if people failed to vote for Biden, which is just bizarre. You then want on to compare Biden campaigners with Trump supporters, which is endlessly offensive.

    No. I never said any of those things. You misread what I said because that is what you wanted to do.

    Point of order, I don't care if you think that Tererun intended to drive someone to suicide, the story is most likely bogus. And my dislike of Tererun doesn't stem from one single post, but their history of just posting a massive wall of text on various subjects that is either indicative of a desperate need for attention or indications that they're mentally ill and should be under the care of a professional.

    Well, for starters, Tererun hasn't managed to drive anyone off this board. Additionally, if you poke around in Tererun's posting history (or just wait), you'll see that there's a reason why everybody on all sides of the political spectrum disparages Tererun.

    And no insult meant, I'd lump the two of you into the same category of personality types and the way you handle things, even if you are on opposite sides of the political spectrum.

    Oh, trust me, there's a pattern of behavior I'm basing my opinions of Tererun on, not just a single post.

    You must have missed the meth-fueled rage posts of Castle. Literally several thousand words of incoherent screeds made possible only by a combination of meth and sleep deprivation. Sokar never even came close to matching that.

    Piffle. This thread went on for 10 pages.

    And? How do you propose getting enough people to vote third party so that neither Biden nor Trump becomes the next President of the US?

    Aside from lumping me FF, ok. I accept your points. But.., I’m not going to unfriended her until she says or does something to me specifically.
    As for the other, :shrug: I’ve said before, I don’t come here for validation of my intellect. If that means you think I’m an idiot :shrug: what do I care.

    Ok. I could say you are taking all those out of context as they were all specific responses to specific posts. But you will just say I’m backpedaling and moving goalposts without once considering your own behavior or the behavior of the posters to which I responded, so .. fine. You win. I said it. It doesn’t change my point and you damn well know it.

    1. Okay. :shrug:
    2. Something like, “Geez, I wasn’t thinking through what I said about voting third party. You’re right, I guess I do need to vote for Biden if I live in anything but the reddest or bluest states. And someone saying that you need to vote for Biden to not be a vote for Trump is actually right.”

    You certainly implied you were strongly considering voting for Jorgenson in post 137. My question is, why did you say what you said in posts 95, 103, 105, 109, 127 especially, 137, and 168, and why haven't you repudiated them, given the math proves you wrong? Bear in mind when considering those posts, that Trump supporters are responsible for a great number of deaths, both directly (via driving cars into crowds), and in spreading COVID-19. So saying that anyone who tells you how to vote is as bad as that is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence, evidence you have not provided. What's your evidence of that? Or, repudiate your stance in those posts, and say you were wrong.

    Even if I bought your argument in post 164 where you seem to pretend that you never said that people telling you to vote for Biden was as bad as being a Trump supporter, and that you only intended to say that it's as bad as telling someone how to protest... well, that's a whole lot of false equivalency bullshit too.

    I retract my apology to @Jenee and I'm backing out of this shit show of a thread.

    Before I leave, @Jenee a word advice: I wouldn't hitch your wagon to Tererun in the future. She's* a wannabe troll who doesn't understand the first thing about trolling. Despite her failure as a troll, I recommend not engaging with her because she doesn't post here in good faith. Better to just scroll on past her posts for the most part.

    *I seem to recall Tererun identifies as female, but if I am incorrect, please someone correct me. No disrespect is intended, but I honestly don't pay much attention to Tererun to remember with certainty.

    You've called people morons, called them stupid, questioned their reading comprehension, and told them to fuck themselves IRL? Do you whisper it when it's just two of you, or do you talk really loud in a group hoping the others will think you're hilarious? Have none of the people you've denigrated ever pushed back?

    Unrelated, but who here has made fun of what you do for a living?

    Well this has certainly been a fascinating thread to watch. Some lefties piled on another lefty because she thinks it's okay for a lefty to vote however he/she wants. "If you vote for anyone but Biden, you are WRONG. " Pretty narcissistic behavior for people who like to pretend that they are so open minded.
