This is all trolling, stuff Richard made up. If anyone here takes Richard seriously enough to want a detailed refutation, let me know. (But HINT: Read the exchange on alt.m.t at the URL. Oh, and Pedro was not Vaj; he was a crazy fundamentalist Christian who infested alt.m.t for a while. Nor have I ever denied I'm a partisan liberal Democrat.) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote: There is one thing you will never see from Judy - she will absolutely never admit that she was in error or that she is a partisan politico. She's been doing this for fifteen years on internet discussion groups. In one hilarious exchange, years ago on Usenet, I posted a link to a Gallup Poll showing the Bush job approval rating. After Judy disputed my statement, I went back three times to check the results of the poll. In desperation, Judy's last statement was something to the effect that I was was a molusk for posting a link to a poll that proved the opposite of what I was saying. Go figure. At that point, I realized that this lady was so invested in winning a debate that she would stoop to outright slander in order win a debate. Never mind the facts of the poll, I'm just pointing out the typical style of argument Judy uses to demean her debating opponent. What's interesting about this exchange is that Pedro (Vaj) saw right through Judy's posing as a political pundit and even posted a note that proved Judy's overt partisanship. LoL! That's about the time Judy stopped commenting on any of my posts, except for calling me a troll and a liar, and became an ECHO, trying to get everyone else to shun me - because I had dared to dispute her political view. Go figure. Look, I'm not stupid and I can read the newspaper and I'll always admit when I'm dead wrong about the political facts. The actual graphic is no longer online, but you can get the jist of the conversation below. Judy's last resort when she is losing a debate is to post an echo and ad hominem. In this case, I became a molusk and slime in a political debate. Now that's classy!

It's interesting to see the different approaches taken by the Mean Girls. Authfriend practices a kind of knee-jerk negativity that produces crude, nasty attacks. In respect of Share (and Barry), she is All Nasty, All the Time. It doesn't matter what these two write; the response is always the same. Any excuse to belittle, mock, and insult -- that's authfriend's MO. With Emily, it's a little different at first. It starts with the pretense that she doesn't understand or is trying to understand something that Share wrote. Emily likes to sound reasonable and sincere, carefully trying to disguise her hostility. This prepares the ground. It's a set up.

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 00000000, right
First of all, I am seldom, if ever, truly mean; I do get mad sometimes. I do tease others about themselves and only those who have no ability to laugh at themselves whatsoever take offense, from what I've noticed. I make fun of myself as well all the time. (Again, all in a manner and context sometimes that not everyone understands, particularly given that you can't see me or hear my tone of voice). Secondly, I always try to communicate from an honest place. I *never* script anyone - how could I do that? I have no power or control over what anyone except myself writes. Everyone here has a choice if and how, they respond. Share ignores most of what I comment to her on; she certainly never responds the way I think she ought; I am not her keeper, but like everyone here, including me, if she posts, she runs the risk of receiving feedback. If that bothers her, than she has the option not to post. Thank you for your feedback; I find it humorous honestly, although quite off-base. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: What you and authfriend don't like is that Share does not respond to you in the way you declare that she ought to, and that makes you mad and mean.

Um, looks a whole lot different from here, Feste. As for the weird punctuation, you must not get around the Web a lot; it's pretty much standard practice these days for bloggers and commenters when they want to say something emphatically. Poor Richard has been exceedingly frustrated that he can't get me to respond to his trolling (but as I keep saying, if you'd like me to give you a detailed refutation of anything he says about me, just ask). If Share stood up to me, it must have been awfully feebly, because I didn't notice. Xeno's making a total ass of himself, not for the first time. And Barry? He's repeatedly shot himself in the foot trying to get me over the past few days. Trouble is, he doesn't have any ammunition except lies, and for some reason it never dawns on him that his lies are easily disposed of. I guess you've been reading only his posts and not my responses. Want to try again? Feste fumphs: Hey auth, what's with the weird punctuation? Doesn't. Make. Any. Sense. I can only conclude that you have cracked under the recent pressure. First, Share stands up to you. Then Richard J.

I do tease others about themselves and only those who have no ability to laugh at themselves whatsoever take offense, from what I've noticed. I make fun of myself as well all the time. (Again, all in a manner and context sometimes that not everyone understands, particularly given that you can't see me or hear my tone of voice). Secondly, I always try to communicate from an honest place. I *never* script anyone - how could I do that? I have no power or control over what anyone except myself writes. Everyone here has a choice if and how, they respond. Share ignores most of what I comment to her on; she certainly never responds the way I think she ought; I am not her keeper, but like everyone here, including me, if she posts, she runs the risk of receiving feedback. If that bothers her, than she has the option not to post. Thank you for your feedback; I find it humorous honestly, although quite off-base. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: What you and authfriend don't like is that Share does not respond to you in the way you declare that she ought to, and that makes you mad and mean.

Then when Share responds, Emily declares the response to be inadequate or shocking, and proceeds to plunge the knife in and twist it as much as she can. Jesus Christ Feste, I have been shocked by Share on many occasions, it's true, and she has deferred and refused to take accountability for her words, or even explain them, on even more occasions. I have also apologized more times and copped to my own actions more than many here and I have stated many times that I always check what I might say to others against my self - I am not a saint nor do I pretend to be. Share has a record of zero on that front. I hold no animosity towards her; I am just objectively stating what I have noticed from her posts here. To

I don't follow it because it's a fad. I don't follow it at all, actually; I very rarely use it.

I don't think you have even remotely established this as standard practice. On the contrary, it's an unusual deviation from the norm. I wasn't impressed by the link you provided.

No, I didn't suggest that the Google links were to examples. I was responding to Richard's claim that it didn't exist, essentially, because he'd never seen it. Obviously many people have seen it, but you wouldn't expect to see links to examples, for pete's sake. As I said, the next time I come across an example, I'll give you a link. But you're still overinterpreting standard practice, as I explained and you ignored.
