Perhaps you should ask this "nebulous" group of retards why, when I first arrived, referred to me as a TROLL. Kinda hard to like someone who first the first insults.

You continue to do it. I don't need to ask anyone else anything. I am responsible for what I write, and that's it. What do they have to do with me?

But calling me a troll merely for having conservative opinions isn't weird, dehumanizing and insulting. Got it.

I did not say that, so again don't put words in my mouth. And stop deflecting. The way you continue to ignore what I am saying while responding to me is weird.

I didn't call you a troll. Your selective moral outrage has a glitch in the aiming scope.

Same as previous answer.

All I've done here is post my views in good faith. And pretty much all I've gotten is insult after insult, from the Goose Steppers and Cross Burners here. I'm fair with people. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. If they want to be brats, they are going to be treated like brats, simple as that.
As you may have accidentally discovered, I'm pretty capable of discussing issues without it getting personal. As soon as some of the Hitler Youth here grow a brain and douse the fire on their crosses, perhaps their small minds could stand a little challenging.

I empathize. I participate in another forum, where the overwhelming majority share your political opinions, and it is one long bash fest, of dismissive one-liners, insults, and so on directed at me while I have remained civil. I have mostly given up there, not because of the behavior but simply because none of them are interested in what I have to say. It's a waste of time.
However, I don't think I've seen one epithet-free post from you. So no, I have not yet seen you discuss issues without getting personal.
