The thread in which we squabble about activity, past insults, and misc. things

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Yelnoc- thank you for respecting Scott's wishes and moving this to a new post...

Napoleon- I'll first say that for some one complaining about another person being sensitive to insults- you sure are riled up about my simply explaining to you how something could be perceived that way. The reality is- I was never penalized for any interaction with Alfred Jones... I am not sure why you believe that. I get riled up pal because I've had a long and difficult life, and when I get a lecture from folks a third my age who believe they have all the answers- it grinds my gears a bit as it would anybody... even still, I challenge you to find many folks who've come out of a debate with me with less mutual respect then we've had before. I know every person on here with whom I've disagreed- I've learned why they feel a certain way and I've come off with a respect for them and their views

As for finding some one my own age- that'd be impossible around these parts old sport ;-)

And I stand by that- and as I posted later on after that- Teddy and I communicated privately and we left that debate iwth more respect for each other then we had before hand.

Here is that post which is right below mine in there- "Teddy reached out and we exchanged messages....any personal issue has been put to bed. Sorry for getting cranky at you Napoleon"

And here is your very kind reply to that- "Good to hear

I've had my fair share of heated debates and misunderstandings."

And you were right to post that! However- I do get a bit rowdy if some one calls me a racist and that is one of those things, but this is proof that no matter how heated the debate- I leave it on good terms as Teddy and I were after that until he left the board...

The difference is, you were the one doing the attacking. I said it is strange they didn't vote. If they want to come forth and say it is normal for them not to vote, then I am wrong. I was insulted by both Yelnoc and Cincinnatus for saying it was strange they didn't vote. What the? Even still, I haven't insulted either of them.

Place yourselves in their shoes- let's use Yelnoc as an example. He was away at a very prestigious leadership program (run by an organization of which I"m a member coincidentally) and then visited his grandfather who had a serious operation... and he comes back to see you fixing to exploit his absence for political gain....can you see how this would rub him the wrong way? I am not saying you intended to insult or offend- but I am surprised how you can' tsee how it could be seen as insulting or offensive

If I'm not articulating well- excuse me... my point is sometimes lost on the web

So that gives him a free pass to insult me? That isn't a very mature way to go about things in my opinion. As if someone would, you know, not vote for a ticket because of missing one election, it makes perfect sense that I stand to benefit politically by pointing out something as being strange. Not.

It is sad that the campaign has come down to this. But, we are making progress!

Napoleon- because the way you pointed it out was meant to insult...

I am not saying you intended to insult or offend

Sort of...

Napoleon- I don't see where Yelnoc insulted you and I don't see why I've again gone to the mat with you about this pettiness...

I'm done with this little talk and would prefer to discuss real issues rather then your victim complex over in the Presidential debate. Nix has asked a great question that I've responded to and I encourage those who are looking to distinguish between the candidates to take a look at that thread...
