Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Well, I really want to know... what set this off? Was it someone else's post that was accepted as being "credible" without the requisite links? Did that lead 6IX to feeling that his credibility was somehow slighted? Without knowing the original post, or the post that he evidently compared it to, it would be hard to make any reasonable comment on it. but my curiosity is piqued.

Quote:Maybe it's because I make it a habit not to post off of other's articles to this day because back in the day I was ridiculed for posting 8-page 1st-posts in a thread when I could have just linked people here and I wanted to know why Niki got a "bye" on that.

Quote:You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. If you "cherry pick" and post a few paragraphs, you're going to get accused of purposefully editing and selectively leaving out information (Geezer is well known for whining about this); if you include the whole article, you're going to get bitched at for taking up too much bandwidth and posting stuff that's too long for the gnat-on-meth attention spans of most Americans.

In this tragic world we live in, you might view us as nemesis.... This shit is all temporary.... Things are going to get a lot worse a lot quicker.... I know you got your eyes on the prize and are adaptive... Today's world sucks, for sure.... But you and I are going to be cornerstones and great allies in the future. Don't forget it....

Quote:Originally posted by RionaEire: I appreciate that Niki posts her articles, at least part of them anyways, because its easier for me than going to the link. I don't have to read the whole thing if I don't want to, I can skim what Niki wrote. Plus she usually puts her opinion at the bottom, so she does show us what she thinks most of the time.KatTaya.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Thank you for your kind words, Riona, and you just nailed why I post the way I do:Quote: its easier for me than going to the link. I don't have to read the whole thing if I don't want to, I can skimI usually try to post what I feel are the pertinent parts of whatever issue I'm presenting, tho' sometimes the whole article is to me important enough not to just put up selective sections of if. Often if a converation does get going, I respond with a long, rambling post OF my own words, too, which he seems not to have noticed. We each have our own styles, and nobody has to read ANYTHING we post. Getting all head up about it and tossing around personal insults is merely a reflection of the person hurling them, given they can simply ignore anything they don't like, as I usually ignore PN and Six. In my opinion his posts are usually incomprehensible ramblings about himself and his own life and his attitudes toward women, but that's just my opinion; I get nothing from them so I have ignored them for the most part ever since he called me cunt. What you wrote DID make me read his previous post and the one after yours, which of course only illustrated what I said above. That my posts are important enough to him for him to vent about them indicates his dislike of me I think; heaven knows that's been the case with some others through the time I've been here. I don't hate him, I just don't respect him and he has nothing of value to say to me. So not reading his posts saves me time, and lets me avoid the personal insults and hatred he tosses at me, which might irritate me if I took them seriously. Nonetheless, I'm grateful you get something out of the material I post; I search around for things of interest which I think might start a conversation, and of course my political bent is obvious. Some get attention and do start a conversation, which I join, others just go on down the line unnoticed, which is fine with me. I would just advise him that if he feels that strongly about me and my posts, he just not bother reading them. I have no intention of upsetting anyone here (well, except Raptor and others sometimes ;o) ), so given he feels so virulently about me, he'd be better off just ignoring me. I'm sure he's said unpleasant things about me in some of them; I don't know about it unless someone quotes him, which is also fine with me.
