The conversation discourse in D.C. should be better.

[BigRedChief]

I've been gone from D.C. for a couple of years and since I've been back I've been disappointed in the name calling and ridicule of another posters position. Immediately writing off someone who doesnt agree with you.

Yes, there are going to be strongly held beliefs on both sides. Passion for a position. If your position is the right position, surely you can make your point without name calling or making fun od the poster. Surely you can point out the fallacy of their position without calling then an idiot.

I'm not saying we have a cumbaya moment. Just that we each think before a post if we need to post the vitirol and name calling to make our points.

Just because D.C. isn't moderated doesn't mean we should just post any ****ing thing we want.

Honestly, the next time somebody dicks with you, put them immediately on ignore. Don't think twice about it.

That probably means you'll spend your first week putting 20 people on ignore. But after that, the forum's not too bad at all.

Get your own schtick. Right now, I'm focusing on Obama and preventable historical accidents.


Just for you...

Voting in Obama to a 2nd term is like using the blueprints of Chernobyl to build a nuke reactor on the San Andreas fault out of Adobe mud.

Ok...Just for you Jdoody.


Electing Romney as POTUS is like hiring a really successful defensive coordinator as head coach of your nation.

Or rehireing herm as hc would be akin to reelecting obama?

[Iowanian]

Relecting Obama is like rehiring Todd Haley for a 2nd contract as head coach.

Weak sauce.

But, I must admit most of you voting for Obama is like...... comments are pretty damn funny.

I've recieved 11 positive reps (yes, I counted before posting) from posters on Chiefsplanet that don't post in here or very rarely. They basically said they would go in here more often if it was more like my post.

This tells me that if we can keep this up, you will expand the # of people who venture into D.C. Surely, we can all agree that an increase in traffic, more opinions and views on the issues of the day would be beneficial to us all.

Don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back or anything.

You're a ****ing douchebag.

This isn't a joke in response to your post.

You are in fact a pompous douche bag. Nobody in the history of the Planet has felt the need to jack himself off and get people to like him as much as you do.

Go search for validation somewhere else than a message board. Use that salary you don't stop talking about and buy some friends in real life or something.

I try to start a conversation to make this a better place to hang and you chose to get personal. We all have choices in life. You can live your life being negative and snarky, I'll chose a different path.

Jesus ****. Your farts smell wonderful, don't they?

You probaly got the same treatment from some too. How dare someone suggest that we don;t need personal insults to make our points? what a popus ass!

A much more passive aggressive one. You are not above anything around here. I have no qualms just directly calling things as I see them. You deal with things more like a woman.

Sorry BRC, but with this you are the pussification of the new ''vagina planet'' personified.
