Why would I complain about not raising taxes, fewer regulations and no Obamacare? Far less worrisome than a guy that campaigned on Romney is evil and everything is Bush's fault.

Apparently your counterparts think that Obama is so evil that seceding from the republic is preferable. Are you immune to what the right says about Obama??

You do realize those petitions could have been put there by liberals trying to create mischief don't you? No one is actually trying to secede, don't be so naïve.

Wow, it's amazing what your mind will believe in order to keep the ideology alive. It's like a cult.

It's more like reality, you should try it some time.

What's your proof that the creators and signers are all "liberals trying to create mischief"?

See there? What's your aversion to reality? The words "could have been" have a much different meaning than "are all". Are you done playing your puerile games today or are you up for more humiliation? I'm perfectly willing to humiliate you more if you insist.

What are you so defensive? I only asked for the reason you believe it to be the work of liberals, to see if it is based on any facts at all. I see that it isn't.

I see you chose to be further humiliated. Do they pay for psychiatric care in Canada?

Why are you consistently attacking me instead of simply answering with facts?

Dude, just living in reality as I said way back. As always you started it with this mockery, "Wow, it's amazing what your mind will believe in order to keep the ideology alive. It's like a cult. "

When you stop the buillsh*t and trolling I'll stop humiliating you in response. Seems fair to me.

So no facts then, just a hunch on your part.

I was admonished a couple of months back and accused of insulting another member which was reversed by management I believe. But you folks openly admit your intention to humiliate other members and get away with it. I admit I don't know the rules of this site very well but I see this type of bickering with questions in many categories and I think it deters a lot of folks from asking questions or trying to help others when they anticipate attacks from their fellow members.

It does distract, but if the mods aren't going to restrain this dude and his constant trolling/creeping/attacking/insulting it won't change.

More off-topic chat is allowed on this board because it is a "discussion board" and more free wheeling. Rarely does it attract new members, maybe because politics is such a hot-button topic. Unless a member is extremely disruptive here and/or is reported, mods mostly ignore what said on Current Events.

If you see a comment anywhere on the site that annoys or upsets you or is out of line in some way, please report it. Mods don't read every thread and every post but we do follow up on every report.

This comment was in response to speechless (hadn't seen WG comment)
I won't judge who is right or wrong but I respect your willingness to openly discuss the issue. And you are correct-- rules are never effective if they aren't applied equally for everybody subject to them.

Sometimes a member gets too emotionally involved with a topic or another member and needs a calming PM discussion or even time away from the site. Rather than have members frustrated with someone or something (a post, a thread, a comment), please RIP it and let us figure out what to do about it. The mods are amazingly sensitive as they wield their velvet hammer. :)

Quite certain he was referring to you.
