THE VIRUS 2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

[It’s Not]

Again. Your opinion of "nonsense" is a difference of opinion. You may find them "nonsense" but as a centrist, I find them informative. Doesn't mean that I am going to attack you because you clearly have a difference of opinion. Get where I am going with this?

LOL

You are constantly using terms such as the “looney left” in your posts. Is that not a way of attacking a difference of opinion as well?

Aff and I disagree but can still be non emotive and not personally attack.

There is a difference there. You are singling out a poster directly and personally attacking them. I am presenting an opinion without personally attacking any poster.

 

[Columbo]

You may find them as propaganda just like I find the ABC and The Project as propaganda. There is nothing wrong with that. All difference of opinion. No need to use personal attacks.

Personal attacks? Like attacking someone's choice of clothing stores?

What do you know about sophistication? Don't you shop at Lowes and Best & Less?

It is still an offensive term to use and you know that. Just because you aren’t singling out a poster when you’re doing it doesn’t make it any better. The intent is clear.

That is personal but not overly nasty. Saying to someone "you're a joke" is a whole different story.

I steal my fashion from homeless bums after I bash them. They dont need it.

Well she is going on about Credlin.

Actually, it would not be offensive to anyone unless you identify as that. Just like Twitter has people saying "right wing nut jobs". Do I find that offensive? No. It is not personal against me.

So what? It is a difference of opinion. You should not attack someone over a difference of opinion.

You should if the opinion is stupid.

No. You just ignore it and move on.

 

[Affable]

No you should not. Doing so shows immaturity. You move on.

 

[Columbo]

No. You just ignore it and move on.

Ignoring it is how Trump got into power and how African Americans were shot by the police.

 

[Columbo]

No you should not. Doing so shows immaturity. You move on.

Moving on is the wrong choice.

 

[Affable]

Moving on is the wrong choice.

Moving on is the mature choice.

Moving on is the mature choice.

It's good we can disagree on things, sir.

lol. Really? We are on a forum and not deciding world events.. In the real world Im all for intelligent protests. But its kinda moot in here cos it just causes unrest and aggro.
A discussion board should just be that. People have to realise no matter how you try, you will never change an opinion of others.
Argue and point out your key tenets but there is no need ever for ad hominem.
