Soldiers in Afghanistan given bibles, Told to "Hunt people for Jesus"

[Calabrio]

Fair enough, I can be man enough to stop.
But when I see it, I may point it out, one post talking about breast size comes to my mind right away.

I'm not arguing your point is without merit.

However, you're missing a significant distinction that I keep making-
You have been exclusively "trolling" (for lack a better word) in this sub-forum. You're not doing that throughout the broader community, but speaking specifically about your participation in this sub-forum. You are either provoking or complaining, but not actually engaging, debating, or initiating conversations- unless it's to hijack a thread so that it's about provoking and complaining.

And, noting you're liberal use of the word "group think" earlier. You aren't griefing alone, you're doing it in packs. Signaling a pile on that completely destroys any conversation or exchange that could be going on. And then it spirals.

When one person does it, it's annoying. When two do it, it can be contained and ignored. But when three or four people attack together, with NO intention of contributing, then it's just destructive and unfair to anyone who actually is trying to be thoughtful.

If your going to call out posts that are intened to disrupt, then call them all.
Or don't call any.

The internet seems to give everyone some perception that everything is uniquely personal, that you are being isolated out. You're not. And in that example, I'm not using the collective "you".

Nah, i didn't want to make shag look bad, i wanted to make foss look bad.

so, your not being malicious, your just inconsiderate. That is much better.

 

[shagdrum]

yes, you're right. i was assuming from your statements it was a personal response, instead of a sympathetic response. i guess that should be directed to shagdrum who first brought it up.

Did I ever say I was personally offended by it?

 

[shagdrum]

if you aren't offended by it, then why would you start an off topic arguement over it? living up to your awards?

Instead of simply calling me an @$$hole and a dip$h!t again, how about you take the initiative, go back to posts 4-13 and see how that topic came about.

 

[shagdrum]

yep. post 4 is where you started taking it off topic. thanks for pointing it out.

Actually, that was you. I was simply asking a question, and you started trying to spin it into a means to smear me. Of course, no one expects anything more from you then petty and dishonest smears anymore, but you make no pretense of even trying to play nice anymore. You simple start distorting or out and out lying. Your own actions prove what I have been saying about vindictiveness and other petty emotions driving your actions here (including your using that avatar). Honesty is a four letter word for you, apparently.

 

[shagdrum]

distorting is your game shag. i made a reference to how stupid of an idea it was given the circumstances of thier place and situation, let alone it's illegal within military law. then you ask the useless question if this is the reason for my christian hatred.
don't see how a simple statement from me gains your reaction. there was nothing hateful in it. at which point you went on your crusade against me.
your intentions are the most suspect here. what were you trying to prove?
you're right? we already know that, you can never be wrong. and you have nothing but honest intentions. (yeah right.) you just made it even more obvious.

Actually your first comment was dripping with contempt for these Christians and only seemed to be aimed at smearing them.

"...but then there are always a few idiots who want to make a bigger target of themselves, unfortunately dragging many along with them. what a thoughtless, selfish bunch." [post #3]​

So I asked a simple question [post #4] and you started attacking me...

"no, but your ignorant anyways." [post #8]​

The record is clear for anyone to read. Your lies, distortions and attempts to deflect are obvious, as is your childish belligerence and petulance.

And here I thought it was just the Islamites that went loony over a picture.

I don't see anyone threatening to cut off someone's head over a picture. Really, really cheap and transparent attempt to equivocate Christians and Muslims.

Oh, ever heard of atheists trying to remove representations of the Ten Commandments from courtrooms, or get Nativity Scenes removed from public places? Who's loony again?

FAIL.

And I fail to see where I implied 'Christians are violent like Muslims.' BTW, pretty sure not every Islamic that was offended by that picture wanted to roll heads, just like not every Christian who sees the "Darwin Sodomy" (as named by thread) picture gets offended.

People who get offended by silly pictures, those people. Thought I made myself clear from the get-go.
