    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.

                                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.

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

                                    you still have me 1 voted for that compliment - i already said was intentional. this is not justice.

                                    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.

                                      "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."

                                        stan claimed leftist (not the original poster) are wrong about everything. thus one would have to know everything in order to back up such a statement. which really is not the point. you accused me of being in the lying bully community and are using my comment to stan as your 1 piece of proof. a conversation that did not even involve you. stan being right or wrong about that does not change the fact that my activities were not bullying, lying etc. i just think you should take back your accusation about my soapbox postings. :(

                                          I'm not going to spend the rest of the evening trolling through old posts looking for other instances. If I have misunderstood you as having you big toe over the line with "the community," it will be clear, soon enough, by your behavior. I haven't paid a great deal of attention to you so far (for you're not that regular here); if my over-all impression of you is incorrect, I can correct it.
