I actually tried to engage you on the issue you started talking about, and you couldn’t deal with it. It seems like you’re desperate to fight but equally desperate to avoid a real exchange of views. It makes sense, given the huge disparity between what your religious beliefs tell you is right and what your political loyalties demand that you support. It must be really tough, and you honestly have my sympathy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybird18c 24 #706 October 12, 2024 Just now, gowlerk said: I'm not the one saying go Trump, you are. Likely you don't believe in hell either or you would treat people better. Of course. I get it now. Go Trump. Go to Hell. You don’t like Trump. You don’t believe in hell. Makes perfect sense now. I understand and sympathize with your derangement. It’s scary. So is the color orange.

I learned a lot. I heard about sexual assaults that the person had never mentioned to anyone before, and how much that altered the rest of their lives. I heard about what it was like to grow up in cultures that simply did not talk about sex with kids, ever. No sex ed, no anything I heard about what happens to gay people as they are trying to decide to come out, and what factors push them forward or hold them back. If you had ever been in one you wouldn't mock them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. I'm glad that whatever keeps the spammers in check is working. I remember all of the "REAL FAKE PASSPORTS!!!" And 'Counterfeit currency' posts. Don't miss them in the least. Although Concrete Rebound Hammer definitely had it's moments. I think it would be nice if 'ban status' was visible somehow. Like on the user profile. I know the potential for abuse means it won't ever happen, but it would have nicer qualities. Hoping old Jaybird got some sort of 'time out'. He's so consistent. Lots of arrogant pronouncements, and when people start pointing out the errors, inconsistencies and contradictions in them, he gets rude, insulting and abusive. And then he disappears for a while.

He used to be very open to two-way discussion. Firm in his views, but able to discuss. I enjoyed having him on the forum. Something changed, kind of like with some other posters; maybe life, maybe right-wing news sources that aim to divide. Either way, to me it’s a shame. As far as ban status, the new dz.com software is what it is; it’s unlikely to change, particularly when you consider the relatively low usage of the site. Wendy P.

I love having discussions with reasonable people. Wendy is reasonable. However, there’s like a little pack of left-wing hyenas in here who seemed to have a whole lot of leeway. I was called a liar. I was attacked for my service and called a murderer, which you defended thank you, a professional killer of human beings, etc. And I get banned for 24 hours for saying, sarcastically, I admit, I sympathized with someone’s apparent derangement. I suspect because Billvon is biased. It’s like a left-wing cesspool in here. If this bans me gain, so be it.
