Socialist CEOs or Capitalist CEOs: Which is worse?

ADMIN, MODS, WHOMEVER.

Is it considered acceptable to engage in continual personal attacks in this Forum rather than sticking to the issues at hand? I carefully reviewed the Forum rules before signing up, as well as the threads on the subject in the Announcements area, and it is my understanding that the apparant favorite behavior of Dawkins is expressly forbidden here, which is why I elected to join this Forum.

Dawkins consistantly, and in every thread he participats in, fails to constructively participate in the discussion, preferring instead to engage in continual personal attacks, insults, and insinuations which are reminiscent of hyper-hormonal middle school girls!

Was I mistaken in my understanding of the rules? If not, then would one of you be so kind as to deal with him in an appropriate manner, including, but not limited to, a public rebuke, as well as a demand for a public apology from him to the forum membership.

The only way anything will happen is you report the thread. But the better thing to do in my book is to put dorkinfart on ignore. I used to argue with him and it was a real big waste of time. All he wants to do is bash America, he ignores facts when presented with them and refuses to tell us what country he is from while he bashes ours. So I finally just put him on ignore and its much better :)


but if you want an admin to do anything about it you have to report it. I refuse to report anyone. I feel its to much like Hitlers youth or 1984. So for me ingore works. try it :) its nice

I want to give due credit to our admins. Generally.... (key word) generally speaking they are very good at dealing equally with people. There is only one admin that seems to deal somewhat one sided with violations.

The real issue is, admins are real people who have a life outside of this forum, and this isn't a paid position. Thus, personal attack tend to get noticed and dealt with on a simi-inconsistent basis. They do the best they can, but real life is more important than scanning the thousands of posts.

Our admins are very good honorable people. If you choose to report posts, that's a fine and acceptable thing. I have only reported one post one time, because it went so far beyond mere insults. It was the absolute obliteration of another member... not simply name calling, but he attacked her on her gender, her age, her views, and marginalized everything about her. Not just her opinion being wrong, but that because she was girl, her opinion was completely unimportant. The women has never posted here again, and I don't blame her. I sent her a personal apology, even though I know she'll never log in to see it.

As for these snide little remarks, to be honest, I doubt you will find any forum that has zero tolerance for personal attacks. Namely because enacting that rule would sink membership to a few dozen at best, and also because the rule would likely eliminate one political view.

Remember most democrats, this is all they have. Attack attack attack! The democrat loyalists are actually simply following their leadership. Even your video on proof that liberals lied about Fannie Mae, look at the democrats. Do you seem them questioning the evidence? Nope. They simply attacked the regulators. Maxine Waters, Bill Clinton, and those other two goofball Senators all said we need to deal with the regulators! Never once did they deal with evidence. In that sense, Dawk is actually posting exactly as the leadership would, in effect exemplifying the type of non-arguments that all liberals proclaim. We can't really expect Dawk to formulate a better point than the leadership of his own party does.
 
You don't have socilaist CEOs or parties or presidents in the US.

You just call anyone who disagrees with you a socialist.

It is childish

Well clearly how you define it is different than how I do. Which is possible...

How do you define a "socialist"?

I've tried putting people on ignore in other forums, but all it does is leave their slander and defamation unanswered, so I prefer to let the Admin and Mods do their jobs and get them under control or ban them.

You can report them or not, that's entirely up to you, but don't forget, that's how things get to the point where trolls take over a forum because all the good members leave rather than put up with them, or the Mods inability to deal with them. I won't violate the rules of the forum by lowering myself to his level, and I refuse to allow his violations to go unreported.

Either way, it's abundently clear that he's a part of what I consider to be the lowest of the low.
 
You seem to be from the 'give it but can't take it' school.

That really is a feeble post

If I had given you any reason to personally attack me, I wouldn't have any problem "taking it", but as your attacks are wholely unwarranted, the only logical conclusion is that you can't intelligently address the facts, and therefore must resort to ad homs.

As I said before, hang it up, it's over, you lost.

Agreed! There are certain people in this forum that I typically will not bother to respond to. I don't care to be repetitive, and refuse to get suckered into their circular, illogical patterns.

For Andy, well stated original post. About the Idiocrazies who frequent here, ignoring is truly the best path. While personal attacks are not supposed to occur, there are those that show it's their only ability to participate.

Perhaps I shouldn't speak for the, but I think the moderators feel we can "police" some behaviors through our own responses, or lack thereof. They would prefer to only get involved when the offense is egregious.

But if you dont then you end up getting into trouble. A guy came and he would twist your words, lie you name it. and when you would get fustrated and say something back even the slightest thing, he would report you and it was you who got the warning. Eventually he got banned but instantly another came and did the same thing and another. Its either an endless battle of trying to hold your temper while someone is twisting your words and insulting you or just ignoring them and talking to the people you really do enjoy talking to.

I think if the people who are dorks get ignored they eventually just move on. What is fun to them is twisting your words and upsetting you. That is why they do it. IF no one takes the bait, they will either keep posting more horrible stuff that no one but the admins see and get banned them self or they will just move on to some other place where people are willing to take the bait.
 
None of the people you quoted are Socialist. They are just supporters of the Democratic Party which is to the right of Socialist or Labor Parties.

Socialism promotes equality. We do not allow bankers to make millions. We allow Government banks to compete and any private banks are well regulated. Australia under Labor has one of the strongest economies in the Word. It is Socialist China that is lending and investing in the USA.
 
Abso****inglutely

Americans labelling as socilaists anyone who disagrees with extreme right wing politics demonstrate three things

1) They have been brainwashed
2) They know nothing about socialism
3) They know nothing about the US political landscape.

US political parties are either right wing (Dems) or VERY right wing (republicans).

The only socialists in the US are national socialists, like the ones currently in the whitehouse.

Ok, I'm missing something here. Socialism in it's very definition is what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are. They are owned by government. I would also include ownership by proxy, such as the supposed privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yet we all know who held the most control and sway over both. It's clearly obvious when the company is a revolving door for democrats.

Further, a socialist is anyone who believes is the basic fundamentals of socialism, namely governmental control. Can you claim any of the people from Clinton to Barney Frank, to Franklin Raines didn't hold these views?
