You've made your point, you've taken your stance, you've voiced your displeasure. There is nothing more to be achieved with that behavior anymore. You'll just eventually get banned, and I think it would be a shame.
I, like you it seems, believe there are times when it's perfectly okay and sometimes even the only possible reaction to go on a rant, be non-constructive and just make it absolutely crystal clear how completely some things disgust you and how totally not okay (from your perspective) some discussions are. But you can't just keep doing it over and over again. It just loses its effect and eventually just removes you and all your views completely from the equation, and it will be as if you were never here.
You seem to have the kind of unique personal experience to these issues that I think would be valuable in these discussions. You don't have to try and bring it here and now. I get it that sometimes some discussions are just too far removed from where you're standing that you just can't join them.
But I would prefer it if you were still around when this conversation continues at some other time and from some other angle. Because we all know it will not get solved this summer  |
To be honest I'm fine with my 'good points' being skimmed over or ignored. I truly dont think these people can be reasoned with and they are just bigots trying to explain and sugarcoat their Breivik like beliefs. Just as I've sabotaged their thread, they sabotage threads where people are having good discussion about serious issues like gender equality and racism by jumping in and calling everyone a PC SJW with white guilt. I felt like getting them back in their thread.
I truly look forward to an actual discussion where people arent expressing their thinly veiled hate and disdain for other religions and are willing to discuss the causes at the heart of the issue instead of regurgitating something they heard Pamela Geller say about 'sharia islam' (doesnt exist) or some other ridiculous term that shows their piss poor understanding of a complex religion they claim to be experts on..
Fair enough Itse. Well put and I have to agree that I'm pounding on a few dead horses. I will tone it down or leave the conversation as I can see how disruptive its been not only for the people (idiots) I disagree with but also others trying to make valid points and have a rational discussion are being sidetracked by my sideshow.
