who are these "family-guys" ? sounds like the mafia. :cool:

They'd like to think of themselves that way. The "family-guys" are not exactly the same fellows as "the community," but there is a lot of overlap. This post[^] and the posts it references may bring you up to speed.

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.

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.

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.

the left has been just as wrong about ... well ... everything.

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 :((

He was addressing an individual who is a passive-aggressive squish-leftist.

"Blanket statements" are sometimes true. The irony here is ... ironic. The (stated) basis of your objection to Stan's "blanket statement" is itself just another "blanket statement."
