Do you ever read his trolls? They invariably include childish personal attacks and NEVER, EVER consider a perspective that's different from his own could possibly be valid. Anything I post is either a flat out lie, racist or some other form of -ist or -phobe, is made up, or is not worthy of any consideration because I got it from 'hannity' or some other source he considers 'right-wing' propaganda. I do not read very many of his posts anymore, but the ones I have are still the same old shit.
Yes, I do. And yes, I think the personal attacks are unwarranted - but you don't help matters by responding in kind. I realize it's hard to resist. And I think that at times the same could be said of you - "childish personal attacks", "NEVER, EVER consider a perspective that's different...".

I also consider him a coward. He is not willing to stand by his convictions. He continues to insist that there is no ripcord. But he will, of course, continue to operate as normal even if he is proven wrong. He is a weasel. I am asking him to, for once, stand by his words and if he is wrong to STOP operating as normal and maybe consider that he may be wrong about other things. If I am wrong, I will go away and he can trash me to his heart's content.
As others have pointed out, he is 'into me' for some reason.
I don't think it's that. I think it's an unwillingness to let your point of view go unchallenged.
1. I am civil to those who are civil to me. I give back the same level of disrespect that is given to me, but I try and do it at a higher grade level than they do.
2. My comments and opinions are pretty much invariably in response and disagreement with the MSM's popular culture narrative. You don't think I know that? You don't think I know what all the main stream and social media's take on any issue is? How could I even avoid knowing that?
So, by definition, every time I post an opinion, it is automatically challenged.
Sure, the stalker always comes back and challenges me:
- WITH THE MAINSTREAM AND SOCIAL MEDIA'S PREFABRICATED NARRATIVE.
- BY NEGATING AND DENIGRATING ANY SOURCES I CITE WHO I THINK HAVE A CLOSER KNOWLEDGE THAN I HAVE ON THE ISSUE.
- BY MOCKING ME OR SLANDERING ME PERSONALLY IF HE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY OPINION.
- BY CHANGING THE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING ELSE.
Show me ONCE where he has considered, even for a moment, that my perspective could have some validity to it. As I've said before, it is very difficult for me to keep up my record of being 100% wrong about everything I believe in or value. It's hard to believe there are millions of others just like me who have the same burden.
