Political yard signs

It seems that no matter what I say, you will find a way to be offended.

"which to me is the same as saying, "I'm sorry you feel that way.""

That is your mis-interpretation of my comment. I meant that I was sorry that I offended you as it wasn't my intent to do so.

I am not trying to prove anything nor be anyone's moral compass. I was expressing my views that we should ALL be more civil to one another. I was not angry at all, nor am I now. Sarcastic... yes. Almost always. You implied that it was okay to be rude and crude towards a poster if they gave as good as they got. You give as good as you get, so I asked you if that meant that it would be okay to treat you the same way KSLIB treated Allen.

I really don't care about the past. I don't care if people dislike or like one another. I don't post nearly as much as I used to on any boards, because of all the childish bickering. It seems one can ever express their view without it turning personal, dredging up the past and ignoring whatever point is being made.. If we are going to go by the past, then we are nothing more that the Hadfields and McCoys forever bickering without really knowing why we are bickering other than we always have. Why not move on and try to be more civil? Don't you think that would be better than constantly bickering?

I have a relative that always complains and fights about everything. She is only happy when she and everyone else is miserable. It gets old and tiresome. Even when she is right about something it becomes lost in the negative bickering. She chooses to be that way. I don't get it. Never have, never will. We all have a choice. We can continue to attacking one another personally and have our message lost except to ourselves, or try, just a modicum of civility and see if perhaps that might actually bring about a valid discussion as opposed to "I am right, you are stupid" types of positions.

So, am I to take it that you don't want things to be more civil? You never answered any of the questions, so I am still at a loss as to whether or not you think it is okay to attack someone the way KSLIB did.

Either you accept that what KSLIB did was okay and you found no offense to the manner in which they attacked Allen and rationalize it based upon the past transgressions you have seen, or it was not okay to be that rude to another poster no matter their beliefs. If the former, then that makes you fair game for crude and offensive remarks, since you give as good as you get. If the latter, why not just say so. Say that it was inappropriate no matter the other persons beliefs and past transgressions.

Or you can ignore the issue and give me another "whatever Kong" and basically say that you don't care about civility as long as the rudeness isn't directed towards you.

The engagement is over? Just curious, which one of us proposed? I am going to have to cancel all the plans now.

Not certain why you are upset. I am not, but so be it. I didn't think the questions were all that difficult.

I will take it how it is presented, nothing more.
