If you stuck to one topic and worked your way through it, it would be far more effective. Just sayin'.

The lines of discussion dove tail as one topic. I shared a personal experience with you which shed another light (or should have) on the discussion about how mean old whitey is wrt the illegal immigration issue you were sponsoring.


Those connections are in YOUR head. They are not necessarily universal and the lines of discussion certainly didn't "dovetail" for me.

It is a true story which you find impossible to accept, so that caused a tangent in which you chose to attack my character on more than one level.

To accept it, I need more data. You refuse to give it.

I attempted to enlighten you further about the circumstance but your insults became even more off color.

Your attempt at enlightenment is to tell me what you think and expect me to believe you......without any empirical support. Sorry....I can't do it.

I encouraged you to consider or look into the possibility that this is common in these enclaves of new immigrants, you mocked me further.

Pumpkin, I lived in a barrio for 4 years. I suspect I know more about what's going on in those enclaves that you can even imagine.

Ok, you haven't seen it on the tv, I get that. I am actually willing to leave it at that but your arrogance continues to bug me.

Its bugs you because it exposes your fallacies.

I told you that this particular story touched on some areas of personal vulnerability but you didn't take the hint and demand names and places.

Because your story sounds fantastical and is outside my realm of experience. Why would you expect me to believe you carte blanche on that basis? Talk about arrogance.

I wouldn't provide them and we both know how you interpret that. You know I've been banned from all the rw threads before, that somehow doesn't sink in as meaningful to you.

I am not sure why you have been banned but your thinking is very similar to them. One of the common threads......is an unwillingness to do one's homework. Wingers are notorious for making statements that can't be backed up with fact. And that's what you do as well. Eventually, you become frustrated and accuse the person of hyperbole. You've done it with CJ and now you making similar accusations with me.

For the life of me, I don't get why you all don't see it.

You don't know, and I don't really appreciate having to spell it out to you, that I've been threatened and the RWers who have made threats have also tried to gain information about me ... name location etc. You also don't know that I have experienced American terrorism within America, pointed in my direction from local RW extremists.

Then why do you espouse so many of their beliefs?

So, when you make these dopey comments about me "... a conservative fantasy fueled by too much imagination," its more than dumb it is personally exasperating. Alright, whatever, I tried to tie something into the topic on immigration that brings things closer than politics as usual but I don't like the way you were treating me so I would rather just move things back to the more public arena of discussion.

Look. This is not a very good forum to get a complete picture of a person. So then you present yourself in a particular way you can't be surprised if people see you that way. The people you seem to identify best with on this thread are the wingers. You told us that one of your heroes is Sarah Palin, queen of the tea baggers, and a very conservative person. Now you want me to believe you're not one of them? Seriously. That's a bit of a stretch at this late date.
