My problem with the whining from the right is that they posts insults constantly but they believe they disguise them in such a way that they can turn around and say, "hey, you insulted me for no reason".
The technique has become tedious. "Libs do this" "Lefties do that" "Libs are mother rapers" "Lefties are father rapers" "Libs put that envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage"
Now, I happen to be a "lefty"/"lib". What am I supposed to think when people post this stuff? "Oh no, they aren't talking about me! They are being totally polite to me!"
I call BS on this poor-innocent-conservatives crap.
I think the difference is in the being outnumbered department (i'm not saying poor, innocent, etc.). It makes one feel like you are scrambling for your life, and at least my responses reflect that feeling.
And I can't speak for everyone, but when i point out things I believe people do wrong, my internal context is that I sincerely believe we are all fatally flawed, so to me it doesn't seem insulting. I also realize it doesn't feel that way for others, so I apologize for that. But, I'll be the first to say I'm a really flawed person, and I'm ok with that, but not everyone feels that way. But at the bear minimum, it'd be nice if people could reduce the outright namecalling and insults. Babysteps? kj.
