The one that was 100% about me personally. That's the one where I want Jenn to find any political issue. She won't find one word about anything except your opinions of me personally. She commented on it - let's see her take the challenge. She didn't take the challenge of finding anywhere that I have personalised either. ============================= How is pointing out the specious and fallacious in your arguments about you rather than about how you present a point of view? When I point out the basis of my analyses, you call them irrelevant and then harass Jennifer to explain my political issues with your opinion pieces. Your "Shameless" (your word) appeals here for us to go to Fox forums to read your posts and see the comments you keep count of indicated that you welcomed comments there, in that universe of self-selected like-minded readers. Why are those comments not welcomed here from among a more diverse group? Anyone new here who had the time to take your challenge to find "anywhere" in our archives where you have "personalized" would find numerous instances of your attacking the messengers instead of their message:e.g., to a councilman you try to link to a writer who advocates a political "assassination"; to someone as a drunk, "Hiccup"; and to me to get out of my pajamas (which I don't own) and get to a library to read a book -- to name just a few. And if you insist, as you will, that my posts about your rhetorical bag of tricks (techniques, if you prefer) are personal, then I'm in good company. Just a sampling rom the past few weeks here, none of them mine: ===================== Justifiedright LOVES to go for baiting and trolling. He has a predisposition to misrepresent other people's comments using 'sound bites' and twisting context. ================================ What makes you a troll, unlike Oak, is that you say things like the below that are just downright inflammatory. ============================================= Now you are going to twist my words around? I did read the whole article- I was referring to your selective reading. Honestly Tommy, this is where you always make yourself look bad and why the rest of us should never even respond to you. =========================================== Twisting words and ignoring context are the pattern. Hard to resist the bait - that's the problem. ======================================== He posts these things and you can almost see a smug little smile on his face when he types, then he wants to twist everything around to try and prove some point that 95% of us would not agree with. In a way its like a lawyering trait gone horribly wrong. Lawyers do like to argue, but Tommy argues with twisted facts and strange conclusions. And if the argument may end, he'll just twist it some more to keep it going, arguing for arguments sake. It is annoying. DO you remember that more recent thread about the mission? He was saying something about how he thought Stand Up was anti-Christian or something, and everyone's posts got all twisted around and the argument went on forever! ============================= No, it is when you say things just to get a rise out of people for argument's sake that you are a troll. "bleeding heart liberal" nice one! ================================= You like to twist people's words, but avoid answering a direct question.... You never did say how it is okay. I suspect that is because you know that it isn't and just don't like to ever admit to that. +++++++++++++++++++++ And there's Maureen's call-in radio program. When a member of this list called in with a relevant question, you deflected with the "victim" defense: He doesn't like me. I've never heard any non-tabloid columnist or pundit attack the messengers rather than their messages. None of us ever approached the extreme level that the Ocean Grove lawyer did in the Coaster a few weeks back. There have been more moderate letter writers in the Coaster who take serious issue with what they consider personal insults from you. And Kim Sullivan felt your "Bully" column was so egregious that she came out of retirement from column writing. **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel.
