Reply #224: TRY TO CALM DOWN [View All]

:grouphug:

I note that you had your little ALL CAPS rant here, but you didn't actually respond to the points I brought up.

What you are doing here, what this OP is doing here, is attempting to lump all of us who disagree in with "trolls." That's what is happening here. The trolls, such as they are, rec these posts enthusiastically, because they enjoy seeing us at each other's throats. I don't doubt that there are such operatives here, but I do doubt your paranoid hintings that they are lurking around every corner. I've talked to a few of these, though I suspect that most just rec and unrec.

You may not realize this, but each and every time you hint darkly about trolls, you are insulting me...you are insulting all of us who criticize the president. Each and every time we are accused of being "obama haters" or "leftbaggers" or "extreme leftists," that is also a smear and an insult.

Each of these posts that smears us by hinting that we "might" be trolls is such an insult. Each one of them paints us as trolls. Each and every one is an attempt to marginalize us and gloss over our numerous criticisms of the president's actions.

I WOULD APPREICATE IT IF YOU WOULD STOP MAKING SHIT UP ABOUT US.
