RE: Reasoning with Leftists is a Waste of Time
Exceptions prove the rule. GTFO it. Labels are worse than credible threats of violence? You sound like child.

Nice... You talk as you do yet resort to GTFO. I'm impressed. (/sarcasm)
You should reread what I wrote. I agreed with you. Yet trying to stick people in a label and treat all LEFTISTS the same as the clowns rushing around rioting is no better than what they do. That was my point. ACTIONS are more important than WORDS. People are more important than LABELS. A label can only define a single person.
Sorry for the multiple replies... just thinking about what you wrote and it gives me more to say.
How?
Really? I sound like a child? Reread those quotes above and truly think about that.
Also show me where I says Labels are worse than credible threats of violence...
It sounds like you are imagining and fabricating things. That seems to be what these LEFTISTs are doing as well. Imagining things that have not yet happened, and then rioting and protesting their imagination.
You need to think about what you have said and how that makes you any better than them. "Reasoning with Leftists is a Waste of Time" Which I am no leftist, rightist, etc. I'm just me. Yet when I respond to you... what was your first instinct?
To tell me GTFO it, and tell me I sound like a child.
So rather than having a rational discussion you attack, belittle, and give orders (GTFO it is an order).
Sound familiar?
This likely is the very same tactics those you are complaining about use.
I've read a lot of your stuff and know you're a smart guy. Smart does not mean we are not mistaken in other areas.
I was NOT disagreeing with you when I originally responded. I even up voted your post. Yet your first instinct was to attack. So rather than use reason and give a reasonable response you followed that instinct and attacked.
This is what the crowds are doing too. They are following their instincts based around fear and their sense of righteousness rather than stopping long enough to think and use reason.
You are smart enough not to fall for this. You are also young enough this is not completely your fault. If you choose not to also be critical of yourself and consider yourself infallible then there is nothing I can do to really help you and you can create a bigger label that encompasses those you post about and stick yourself under it as well. Yet if you are the intelligent person you seem to be from past posts I think you can consider this.
My post to you was essentially a message of YOU ARE RIGHT this is happening, but you are committing a logical fallacy by generalizing people. If you realized that your future posts on such subjects would likely get stronger.
I make mistakes and am critical of myself. I also do not mind constructive criticism. I also don't mind civil discussion. If I did not CARE about what you think and who you are I would not have responded to you as much as I have.
Soft censorship is often disguised as paternalism. I'm definitely smart enough not to fall for THAT. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, as the old saying goes.
Yep. Gotta talk about censorship and then resort to a flag. I use the flag for abuse, plagiarism, and spam. That's it. "Logically self detonating word salad" - you didn't logically challenge anything. You spouted platitudes. Spoke of censorship. Then censored me. ;) I like your blog post talking about hypocrisy and projection. :) Think about that.
The multiple posts can be because you engaged someone. You could choose to view it as a compliment that you have someones interest. You could choose to view it as an attack. That perception is totally up to you.
Dwinblood has a point here.
No need to respond though. I saw the flag. I don't think I've ever had a comment flagged in 4+ months here. That doesn't impress me. I don't flag people EVER for disagreement. Nor will I. Though I will not follow such people. Have a nice day.
Flag is for spamming multiple comments worth of logically self detonating word salad
Could you explain why you flagged the post above?
That was the response he gave me.
Spoke about me trying to soft censor him by replying. He actually had my interest, I was not trying to censor him at all. I was trying to engage him. He responded with belittling, and platitudes and then censored me. :) Hypocritical and talking about soft censoring was a bit of projection I guess considering the blog post.
Here is my blog post about this occurrence.
