Not leading by example

[jimnyc]

There's been a lot of personal attacks on here lately, and I'm probably one of the worst offenders as of late. My temper has gotten the best of me during some lively debates and I got frustrated and went for the jugular. MFM was right, not very becoming of the board owner.

I don't want to fade away from debating, so I'm going to do my best to take a deep breath before my replies in the debates and try and remain on topic and win where it counts most - with facts and common sense. I hope most of you will take my lead. Have fun with the sarcasm all you like as I think a degree of it is needed to have some personality around here, but things have gotten a bit personal at times and I've embarrassed myself.

My apologies to anyone who might have been offended by my words. It's a message board, and my intent is to "one up" the person I'm sending my message to. But I should know better than to one up them with classless comments. I'll stick to good 'ol fashioned humor, wit and sarcasm if need be, but I'm gonna try hard to leave the attacks out.

You're a phony lib. Someone makes an effort and you effing dash them like that. Where is the supposed lib "compassion" for those that need "help?"

A true person would accept the talk, especially given the owner is not running for any election, and if it did not work out to exactly a "t" then they would still accept and respect the attempt.


IMO, Jim has nothing to apologize for as board owner, maybe an individual poster (haven't seen your posts where I think any apology is needed) :dunno:

This board has in fact become better since it started. Far less calls for banishment from some conservatives and far less trash talk from some libs. However, I notice the libs keep up their attack on the "moderation" of the board. Its as close to moderate as you can get. Go to some lib sites and try posting some right wing stuff and see how long you last. Last I checked, demonundergound had a very strict requirement on even joining the post so you had the effing blessing of posting. So effing what if the mods tend to be conservative, has any lib actually approached the owner and asked to be a mod?

Quit bitching and keep posting.

[BoogyMan]

Cheers Jim, great sentiments.

I dunno Yurt, I think the username says it all, reading her posts says the rest.
Did you expect more? :D

[LiberalNation]

I would but then me and jim would just kill each other and that wouldn't be pretty for anyone.

You're a phony lib. Someone makes an effort and you effing dash them like that. Where is the supposed lib "compassion" for those that need "help?"
Well I never claimed to be lib in the first place. As for commpassion you wont see much from me either.

This isn't the first time jim has made a post like this. That is why I posted what I did. It would be a fun bet.

[diuretic]

Democratic Underground isn't an open board, it's unashamedly partisan. But that doesn't stop it getting fairly heated at times. I don't post at Free Republic but now and again I see a DU link and check it out. I don't like it much but then that's probably because I don't share the views and values of posters at Free Republic.

There's only one thing wrong with personal attacks all the time. After a while they get a bit, well, boring. But that could be me, I have a short attention sp....oh look, a cookie....

As I was saying, it can get a bit much. But when the amusement begins to fade I sort of glance through the rest of the posts in the thread which are posters :slap: each other and then see if someone else has popped in to get it back on track.

Jim - you can go off, it doesn't matter, long as you don't use your sooper dooper "I Am Zardoz, the Owner of this Universe" powers to punish someone getting up your nose, it's not a problem.

You consider me a lib others consider me a con. I'm whatever the person of the moment wants to label me but don't claim either for myself. As for transparent, yeah i try to be.

People blast the name I chose at other boards cuz they claim I'm not a lib. People blast my name here cuz they don't like libs. It's all subjective.

No it just means you can't win either way. Don't worry about it, since we should be focusing on the issue rather than the supposed personality or political position nicks are largely irrelevant.

Normally I agree would agree with your post. But lately... there isnt much to debate with people who look at the facts and complain the exact opposite is true.

[actsnoblemartin]

Thats low class, I expect more from you.


Bets on how long he'll last. I give it a week.

[actsnoblemartin]

Jimmy you have an incredibly thankless job. if you never lost your temper, you wouldnt be human. We would think your a robot. Your not a saint, a hero or a doormat my friend, your an average human being, which is just as good or bad as anyone in this world

so please dont get down, or let anyone get you down

you have NOTHING to apologize for.

We should all thank you for taking the thankless job of moding and putting up with US.

for you sir = :clap:

Hey my bet was pretty good. Some I know only gave you 2 days.

Focus on the argument and not the person. Make someone show evidence for their post. Nail them down. If you don't then all of us are going to overwhelmed with bulllshit. Too many of us are into ego protection and not into trying to work out the facts.

But don't get stuck into me :laugh2:

Ok, I'm game, I'll take that bet! What's the ante?

And tell your anonymous buddies I'll give them 3-1 odds if they have the cajones to bet me! :)

[jimnyc]

Well said. That's 'usually' how I like to approach a debate but have lost track at times. I've lost arguments before in flame wars. I've also lost debates based strictly on factual information and ability to lay out a decent argument. It hurts more to be in the latter category.

There is one one component needed and that is to accept a fact when it is presented.

[Gunny]

There is one one component needed and that is to accept a fact when it is presented.

Prior to posting said "fact," one must possess at least the simple ability to differentiate between fact and opinion.

[diuretic]

We need a criterion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact-value_distinction

That should provide hours of mirth! :laugh2:

But on a more sober note. I know when I've been bettered.
















I sulk :laugh2:

[truthmatters]

I have had dictionary definitions, encycopdia articles , GAO reports, scientific studies and respected polling places polls denied as fact here.

Can we come up with a list of mutually trusted sources at least?

[Gunny]

You have had your speculations, opinions, misquotations and out of context accusations denied here. None of those are mutually trusted, nor accepted.

[darin]

The problem isn't usually your source - it's that you interpret what your sources say 180 degrees from reality. :)

[diuretic]

Can we come up with a list of mutually trusted sources at least?

A dictionary definition is fine if you're making a point about semantics ( not "you" but any of us). But it's not evidence of anything other than the fact that a word or phrase has umpteen definitions.

Articles from an encylopaedia are okay but they can be dated.

GAO reports need to be interpreted.

Scientific studies, same.

Polls, same as above,

If they're introduced in context then they will support your argument.

Remember you don't have to get someone to scream "Uncle". Your oppoent will not cede. The reader makes his or her mind up.

[diuretic]

Oh and if you get an ad hom, scream it out :laugh2:

[jimnyc]

There is one one component needed and that is to accept a fact when it is presented.

Yes, not interpretations or rhetoric. A poll of 1000 people out of 300 million citizens doesn't make the statements "fact". Please understand that many of the studies you present are not "fact".


I have had dictionary definitions, encycopdia articles , GAO reports, scientific studies and respected polling places polls denied as fact here.

95% of the things you have posted here and claimed as fact just simply aren't. You make take them as fact but that's not my issue, that's yours. Polls are not fact. Studies are not fact. Rhetoric is not fact. Op/ed pieces, columns and blogs are not "fact".

What if their content isn't true? I don't like not-true things. :)

[truthmatters]

How do you determine they are not true?

How do you determine the dictionary difinition is not true?

[Sir Evil]

How do you determine they are not true?

How do you determine the dictionary difinition is not true?

The quickest determination can be made when one looks at your username. Most that seek the truth often are depending upon others to find it, when they find it let us know. :poke:

[truthmatters]

There are things which are true and they matter. that is the only meaning of my name.

[Sir Evil]

There are things which are true and they matter. that is the only meaning of my name.

And that is very admirable of you, now if we can get you to actually speak the truth the admirable part will also go to credible. :D

[darin]

How do you determine they are not true?

How do you determine the dictionary difinition is not true?

Because you have a knack for removing data from context, and basing your arguments there. You have a pattern of using Opinion-pieces drafted by talking-heads, and casting all your bets on the information. It's easy. Generally, if you believe something I am skeptical. :)

[truthmatters]

I just wish people would accept the evidence given them as carrying wieght. In this site it seems that nothing is allowed in as reliable if it doesnt put Bush in a good light.

You're just not being honest now.



I have never had anyone on the right do it when talking to me.

Because when conservatives or centrists "talk" to you, we waste our time trying to help you define what "Is" is, and stuff. You get lost in the weeds - the very basic facts seem to be read by you through lie-colored glasses. :-/

Until we can establish in your mind a baseline of objectivity, you'll only see what you WANT to see.

:)

[truthmatters]

Everytime I post something here people insist its not true no matter what my source is. That is the truth.

[darin]

Everytime I post something here people insist its not true no matter what my source is. That is the truth.

Maybe your sources are crappy. :) Maybe it IS you? :)

Again, when you post stuff here it's generally in on of two categories.

The first is "Crappy Source". The second is "Good source, but crappy interpretation of what you're reading."

:)

[truthmatters]

Is a congressional report a shitty source?

[jimnyc]

Is a congressional report a shitty source?

No, but your interpretation of said report before a full investigation is complete is nothing short of dishonest. There likely are a few bad eggs within BW but you want to make it sound as if they are terrorists, while the overwhelming majority of them are doing an outstanding job in the face of one of the most volatile place on earth at times.

[LiberalNation]

Blah, blah, blah. Back to the betting how much you want to put on it.

[jimnyc]

Blah, blah, blah. Back to the betting how much you want to put on it.

I'll place $10 on it in a heartbeat, and give you $20 if I lose. You can monitor every post of mine for the next 7 days. Care to backup your suspicions?

[LiberalNation]

Okay but raise it to two weeks since you have incentive now and need time to slip up. Then we need a difinition of what an "attack" is. Everyone see's such things different.

[jimnyc]

Ok, 14 days.

And this thread was about "personal attacks".

I still reserve the right to be witty and sarcastic, but overt personal attacks are off limits. No making fun of family members, no telling someone to "fuck off" or stick their whatever up their ass... Comments remain related to topic, and sarcasm remains related to users direct comments in thread.

Hell, I'll even let Diuretic, John Doe & Dan (3 board liberals) determine if something is considered a "personal attack" should there be a dispute!

[dan]

Someone should add a stipulation that LN cannot go out of her way to make posts clearly trying to incite Jim.

like i said it really doesnt matter when they look at the evidence, the only evidence and start claiming the exact opposite of what is said and shown is true. They dont have any evidence to support themselves. They are just lying and know it.

momma gonna knock you out, then again probably me too. She scares me as well.

Not me- we girls understand each other.

(right Joan?)

[Sir Evil]

Not me- we girls understand each other.

(right Joan?)

Oh boy, I can hear it now, "Who's that Abbey girl, she's so nice, why can't everyone be like her" and then in my slightly demented thoughts the visions of throwing momma from the train overtake sensibility, I start to get that crazy twitch, and bam! she will sneek me from behind with a slap to the head saying "think you are real funny dontcha" :uhoh: yep, the obvious has happened.:cuckoo:

Hmm... Perhaps that was my plan all long. :insert evil laugh here:

And apropos of nothing, I just wanted to say... Go Jints!

[Joan]

Okay OCA, I give! Thought you were talking about Jim. Now I know cuss words in every Language except Greek, but I will look some up just for you!

As for Sir Evil - remember this, I brought you into this world, and I'm quite capable of taking you out!!

And I already know Abbey - so BITE ME!

If you have a thick North Jersey accent they should sound great!

No need to look some up, just ask, i've known most since about the age of 11when my old man would regularly berate me..........in a loving manner of course.:laugh2:

[LiberalNation]

Stop whining.
WHy would I wana do that considering it's something I quite enjoy.

[jimnyc]

Cool, I'll be sure to remind you to pay up on Oct. 17th at Noon EST exactly! :)

5 more days to go!

I have a lot of pent up anger and quite a few things to say once I win the bet! :laugh2:

[LiberalNation]

WHy not start now, you done already lost.

[jimnyc]

WHy not start now, you done already lost.

Sorry, not even close. You officially lose your bet in 8 minutes from now and I expect you'll remain true to your word and send along your payment.

[Immanuel]

Sorry, not even close. You officially lose your bet in 8 minutes from now and I expect you'll remain true to your word and send along your payment.

Does this mean it is about to get real nasty on this board for a while?

Should I bring my filtered glasses to the computer so that I don't see all those insults that are about to start hitting the www?

I take it you won, jimnyc. I've only been here for part of the bet, but I don't recall any personal attacks. In fact, I was thinking all those pm's about you were nothing but lies... then I found this thread this afternoon. Hmm, maybe not.

Immie

PS... I'm only teasing about the pms. Don't ban me.

[jimnyc]

In fact, I was thinking all those pm's about you were nothing but lies...

I'm sure there's probably some truth to that. Even LN stated "Some I know only gave you 2 days" in the beginning of this thread. Looks like the anonymous bungholes lost as well!

[OCA]

You'll never get paid my friend.

[actsnoblemartin]

I trust you as far as i can throw you :lol:


You'll never get paid my friend.

[jimnyc]

So tell us, LN, are you going to pay the piper?

[typomaniac]

So effing what if the mods tend to be conservative, has any lib actually approached the owner and asked to be a mod?

Whether they have or not isn't the point, Yurt. The day that Jim appoints a liberal to the DP staff is the day that donkeys fly out of his bunghole.

And, just to back up my claim, I am officially volunteering for "DP Staff" moderator status. My offer stands for as long as it takes until Jim gives up the board or appoints me. Trust me, the latter isn't gonna happen.

But I'll wait - and be ready to answer the call if it comes. :salute:

[jimnyc]

Considering a liberal has been a moderator of this very board before, you now look very foolish!

Hold your breath, I'll let you know when I need your assistance!

[darin]

If we need another moderator, My wife gets the job. :)

Is Mary a flaming liberal that will meet Typo's standards? :laugh2:

[shattered]

Pfft. And I thought I was the next Mod...

[typomaniac]

How could I look foolish if it happened before my time? :poke:

You mean like this?

Maybe you should keep that in mind then before making comments you really know nothing about. Not my fault you didn't know the truth before trying to make me look bad.


You mean like this?

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/dpeyton/liar.jpg

Yes, just like that. Now keep holding until I get back to you! :)

[LiberalNation]

Yeah and you all ran that one liberal mod off so it doesn't mean much.

[LiberalNation]

So tell us, LN, are you going to pay the piper?

I don't know, has he attacked any one ya'll.

[jimnyc]

Yeah and you all ran that one liberal mod off so it doesn't mean much.

Wrong as usual. You haven't benefit of the facts from behind the scene. But I will say that I will not unban someone at the DEMAND of a moderator. I'll do so when I believe it's warranted. If a mod decides to leave because of that decision, that is NOT running them off.


I don't know, has he attacked any one ya'll.

Lots and lots of sarcasm. Lots of little jabs and lots of fun. But no personal attacks as described in our pre-bet rules.

I'll tell you what, take the time and go over the past 2 weeks worth of my posts. Admit that I didn't go "over the line" and give credit where it's due and I'll call it even. Can you be a good sport about it?

[OCA]

I trust you as far as i can throw you :lol:

You don't even have a clue as to what we are talking about you fucking retard, go back to making weird sounds as you wander the mall aimlessly.

You are a fucking jackoff, does the name Jillian mean anything to you? Huge friggin liberal, appointed to staff from the very beginning here back when I was on staff, dumber broad and bigger egoist you never saw, team to her was spelled all with "I".

So IOW there has already been libs on staff, even at USMB, look up DK Suddeth.

[LiberalNation]

Which were all ran off or left if you will which still doesn't make your case.

[OCA]

Yeah and you all ran that one liberal mod off so it doesn't mean much.

She ran herself off, totally 100% the dumb bitch's fault.

You don't have a fucking clue about internal board politics, why do you think you do?

[jimnyc]

Which were all ran off or left if you will which still doesn't make your case.

NONE were ran off. NONE were able to be a part of a team. THAT's the case!

Now, where's my payment?

[OCA]

Like I said, you have no fucking clue about what happened behind the scenes, until you do shut your clam licking piehole, stupid fucking kid.

Thats right and i'm thinking of dropping the whole sorted story of her and DK right now, I think at least I still got her pm's and damaging posts in a file somewhere and for chrissakes I know more about ol'DK and looney tune KL...........all straight from their own two mouths.

[LiberalNation]

NONE were able to be a part of a team. THAT's the case!

None kissed your ass enough and gasp would stick up for the libs which the rest of you are bias against. Okay whateva boy.

[LiberalNation]

Now, where's my payment?I haven't looked to see if you actually won yet. If you have you'll get it.

[OCA]

:laugh2:

You don't have a fuckig clue about anything, why do you think you do.

Listen kid, I can tell you that i've forgotten more behind the scenes shit and actual reasons about why things happened then you could ever hope of knowing, all you have is supposition and rumour. Don't think I do? Try me.

[OCA]

None kissed your ass enough and gasp would stick up for the libs which the rest of you are bias against. Okay whateva boy.


As I previously stated, completely fucking ignorant, not even in the ballpark.

Jillian threw fellow mods under the bus on the public forums, she was also feeding a certain ex-member private info., but libs do that type of shit so it should've been expected.

[jimnyc]

I haven't looked to see if you actually won yet. If you have you'll get it.

I believe the bet ended at noon today. Not my fault that you haven't kept up. Never figured you for a welsher.

[LiberalNation]

What in the hell is a welsher? Never heard of it before.

[jimnyc]

What in the hell is a welsher? Never heard of it before.

Someone who doesn't own up and pay their debts after they lose a bet.

Lordy, do we have yet another "Mods are biased" Admins are biased" thread going? And started by the usual suspects, lol.

Maybe we should make it easier on folks and have a template they can use to complain. Why should they have to reinvent the wheel every month or so when they feel the inevitable itch to complain about bias?

It can go like this...

I, (insert screen name here) wish to complain publicly about the following:

1. There is a conservative bias by the (circle one)
A. Mods B. Admins C. Both D. The whole board.

2. You never have liberal mods.

3. If you ever did have liberal mods, they were run off by the unfair Admins (see Number 1 above).

4. The rep system is unfair.

5. It's all dmp's fault.

6. All of the above.


Did I miss anything?

Those are always the ones caught backtracking on their original statements, then they are exposed, then they vehemently argue otherwise, finally crying foul because we are hatred people. Yep, there are a couple good ones here with that game. :laugh2:
