I don't like the meaningless back and forth of insults on my thread. It is so boring I can't stand it- and whenever left and right meet, that's what happens. Some of it's sneaky and snide, and some of it's obvious and childish, but none of it lends itself to relaxed and pleasant encounters, which is generally what I want. I prefer a thread of friends- even if occasionally we disagree, we don't actually hate one another, and there are no stalkers there, or folks who would try to insult each others looks, or families or jobs. I've tried to get this across to you before, and yet you continually act like you just don't get it- which is odd, considering how much you appear to dislike me. I don't like high levels of conflict, and you seem to revel in them. To each their own. But since what you like does not appeal to me, I don't need to have it on my thread. And I've been trashed on right wing threads I don't post on, or can't post on. I don't worry about it. That's their thing. More power to them. I used to think there was some hope of rapprochement, but I've totally given up on that. They should enjoy themselves, just as I do. And you pretend to be unable to understand the ignore thing too. That's to keep people from harassing me via private message. It's just happened too many times, and I don't need that. It's a waste of my life to have to read shit- so next time you think "Why does X..." reread this post. And then all will become clear, again.
