I'd never call you snarky, and it is totally clear to me that writing is one of your crafts, Jade, you're just craftier than most craftsmen.

Nah. I write in full and complete sentences (best I am able) that give full expression to my thoughts and feelings. If'n a person can't follow a progression of thought, presented well and in a grammatically correct structure, that is not the problem of the author. I would hope to appeal to the higher capabilities of readers rather than writing to a fourth grade skill level. Writing is one of my crafts, Monkeysdad. Some may find fault with it. Language is a perfect structure that must be tweaked, at times, to present a concept appropriately in an ever-changing and imperfect experience of the world. In my observation of these forums it is the poorly crafted thought that is oft misconstrued, or presented, as being snarky.

Have you ever thought about the notion that your message gets caught up in too much verbiage? You write paragraphs for what the rest of us can say in a couple of sentences.

Not a Righty either.  In the mentioned case of Sarah Palin's Baby I was one of the (few) who posted that this innuendo was way overboard and totally inappropriate. Zipper lambasted me without even reading my post, assuming that i was (for some god-unknown reason) one of the rumor pushers. Indeed, I stood next to zipper, metaphorically speaking, side by side with her on the SP's Baby isssue. She still then blasted me because I happened to have bolded her name. While I have expressed my embarrassment at the shameul image that SP presents to the world, you will notice that I have not even once endorsed Obama, nor McCain, nor anyone else,. for that matter.... all for reasons of a private nature. She, nor anyone, has the right to assume, wrongly in any case, that I 'must be' a supporter, overt or covert, of a Liberal/Conservative position. In my calling her to task my hope was to alleviate some of the stress that her accusation of Obama/Hitler has caused... not by letting her off the hook, but to put up or apologize. At this point I could give a flying fuck what her game in this thread has been or might be. She has wrongly and intentionally insulted me. I would let others speak for themselves, as some have by waving the "I'm outta here' flag.

So it goes.

Then she'll call herself a victim, then she'll call most everyone else stupid liberals.  At least beaker would occasionally back up his stance w/ something sort of solid.

Hey- Enough with the comparisons between the O's and Hitler.

 If you want to compare Hitler to Peter Angelos that's OK though. Just don't blame the team.

I am saddened that you would hold with such disregard another human being, let alone someone who has sought to bring clarity to a situation. A situation that I had taken to be probably nothing more than a horribly inappropriate and thoughtless quip, but one which I, your fellow RPeep, have felt strongly enough about to ask of you the consideration of an apology, if so. No. No more. Your worthiness account of 'we'll let that one slide' has just been bankrupted by your own destructive self-sabotage.

Too bad the message got lost on so many people.

Nothing is going to change.

Ah, but you are one of the wisest folks here at RP and if you aren't spot-on on this one....you're close.

This is exactly what I've thought as well, Scott and I think her Kumbaya flag post in the "Things You Thought Today" thread pretty much sums it up.

Of course Zip, this DOESN'T mean that I'm not one of those liberal lefties, I just choose to keep it to myself, mostly.

Jade, this thread is Zipper's way of cobbing up what she sees as a constant stream of posts from "the Left" that are nothing more than regurgitated crap. She's saying that some of us post link after link of *anything* that appears to further our cause, regardless of whether it's in any way compelling, well written or even factual. Witness the "Sarah Palin's baby isn't really hers" posts that I sadly went along with and were a stain on the place for some time after. No one apologized or even retracted those posts, they just let them get buried under the next wave of innuendo and churning blogwater. So this is her little performance-art piece called, "I can post as much crap as you and make you waste your time reading nonsense." Since Beaker's taken a powder, Zip steps up!

of course this is only my take on what she's up to. She'll prolly call me a tard tomorrow but hey.

About as sincere as your little "oh woe is me, you all would never understand the things that have made me a conservative, maybe I'll tell you so that you can understand me", then you came back full force with name calling and hardcore lgf nonsense.

I think you just fancy yourself the thoughtful outsider, but you are really just behaving like a gadfly.

You sound so sincere.    Great act!

I'm gone to knit and watch the rest of the football game.  hasta mañana.

 zipper wrote:That is it? Just more snide reparte'?  Zipper, I am not at all wanting to cross swords with you. I have not done so in the past (indeed, I have stood firmly in the same corner with you on more than one occasion), I personally see no need to do so here. I am a human being, a fellow RPeep, a person asking for a respectful and honest response to an allegation of yours that is beyond the pale of anything that can be considered appropriate. Please? I am serious here, zipper.
