brooklyn13, Ho hum, i didn't conclude that about you, mine was meant to be mild sarcasm based on your past incessant complaining about why we spent so much time being critical of Israel's war against Palestinians without giving the attention you felt we should give to other wars as in the DRC and Sudan. And it was also based on your past incessant complaining about why we picked on Israel so much without giving the attention you felt we should give to the genocidal acts against American Indians, Australian Aborigines and Tibetan Uyghurs.
"I don't know how you managed to conclude that I require my reading needs to be satisfied here. I originally thought this might be a good place for lively discussions, but it's more like a cult. I've been told a few times that " most on the board" think so and so in opposition to what I've written, or that most of you find me revolting or that I'm scum of some variety or another.
For example, you know, even if you won't admit, that I've written several times that I think Netanyahu and the WB settlers belong in prison. Yet, 3 times in the past month, it's been stated by others that I'm surely happy about Trump's insane plans for Gaza beachfront. What is up with that, anyway? People just desperate to pick fights?"
In fact i have acknowledged your dislike of Netanyahu, because you only occasionally drop by here maybe you missed it. But no it would have been directed at you so guess you have just forgotten it.
On your cult mention i am neither responsible for nor really care about how other feel about you so no, we are not anything like a cult at all here.
"So, it's willful distortions plus (boring) insults. I can take as well as give, but it's pointless with a crowd who knows their response without reading what they're responding to.Let's face it, without people like Rooster and Conix (both of whom I disagree with on most things) and me and a couple of others, this site would be mostly about preaching to the choir and trading recipes, which is fine if that's what you want.
You run a toxic site, dude, for those who dare to have differing opinions. Enjoy the posts of the 10, or so, people who are willing to get with your program. I can't think of a single instance in which you've shown any respect for anyone who dares contradict you or for their opinions."
You have caught flack basically i'm guessing because of you defense of Israel's war. Not least because of the unreasonableness of your reasons for that defense. And because you have given it.
And just because you can't think of an instance doesn't mean the instance hasn't happened. When i disagree i pretty much deal with the content of the disagreement.
Oh and preaching to the choir? Sorry you missed our spirited disagreement on Schumer's continuing resolution switch.
Bottom line: You make many assertion about me and this board when you really don't know what you are talking about.
