This isn't difficult. This forum is *called* The SoapBox. But, it's not really a soapbox, it's a sandbox ... it's a carefully protected play area for "the community" (i.e. leftists/securlarists) to pound their chests and proclaim what Brave and Grave Thinkers they are. Even as they act like howler monkeys anytime they're exposed to real ideas. The more of "the community" which segregates itself into a little echo-chamber (I mean, an even smaller echo-chamber that this SandBox), the greater the possibility that the "SoapBox" can function as a soapbox, rather than a sandbox.

If enough of you go for it, perhaps you'll take enough sand with you that the SoapBox can be dug out of the SandBox.

I don't like being lied about, and I don't like seeing others lied about. Sometimes I ignore, as best I an able, "the community's" lying. Other times I mock it. I really just do not understand how you can so easily shrug-off seeing others being lied about, regardless of who is the target and who (singular and/or plural) is doing it.

Given that you *do* sometimes like to join "the community" in their attempted pile-ups, I had not expected such a compliment.

Truth is truth, no matter where. Falsity is falsity, no matter where. Dishonesty is dishonesty, no matter where. Injustice is injustice, no matter where.

hey i cannot stop others from reply'ing to my posts. i did not "join" anything. i was merely using the same level of sarcasm you seem to enjoy using when someone claims that they know everything. you still have me 1 voted for that compliment - i already said was intentional. this is not justice.

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

I, on the other hand, have a very warm place in my heart for bullies (and such is "the community") -- I *loathe* bullies with a white-hot passion. Due to the way they *misunderstood* Christianity when they first became Christians, my parents instructed us to not fight back. And I was a dutiful son. The bullies, of course, quickly figured out that we were "easy pickings." The final straw for me was when I had to lead my younger brother and little sisters into an open sewer to protect them from a gang of four or five boys of about my age (my sisters would have been in 1st grade, my brother in 3rd, I in 5th). Since that day, I have made it a point to be the "savage" my ancestry calls me to be.

Did I really? I certainly didn't mean to.

Sarcasm is a dangerous master. And Stan wasn't claiming to know everything; he was addressing sarcasm to the studied ignorance of an individual.

not an individual.

there is nothing like a blanket statement to get the firing roaring. so this was it? your proof that i am in the "community" is 1 post, between stan and i... i do not know if that really qualifies your accusations :((
