    Default One Thing Gabosaurus Does That Makes Sense

    I understand the "post and run" thing that Gabosaurus does. There's an idea that you want to see the reaction to, but don't want to get bogged down in a back and forth with some goofball. It then makes sense to make the post, come back later, perhaps much later and see what the first responses were.

    How about you reference what you are talking about?

    Too much work on your part?

    I believe for the most part that this is called "trolling".

    Look, Dipshit...

    I like Gabby because she is different, and has always been polite to me.

    You, on the other hand, just snipe and troll. Why not have the sense to attach
    the source of your idiotic statements such as this present one?

    The whole alleged "post and run" thing is alternately known as "I am not old and retired and can't sit on DP all day."

    If I am at work, I might just come on for a couple of minutes. If I am at home, it means I have a family to deal with.
    It might also mean that I have made my point and it is time to move to something different. Or perhaps it is useless to mud wrestle with a pig because the pig enjoys the mud much more than you do. So excuse me for not jumping in the mud with any of you.
    What some old fools consider "trolling" is actually a difference of opinion. Some of you troll me all day with your crazy far-right topics and less than intelligent responses.

    I am polite to those who are polite to me. Attack me and I will likely respond with sarcasm. Or, if I am in Bipolar Bitch Mode, attack you with both barrels. Because you obviously deserve it.

    I see that you've found the proper way to address tailfins.

    And correctly cited his actions here!

    He must feel the need to do that because he grovels at the feet of his muslim masters(bosses)
    and has awareness of his on cowardice and lack of true worth in life IMHO.

    You are correct about having more important things to do. I will add this: If one doesn't time box interacting with people that have a crappy disposition, that crappy disposition will become contagious. I express myself through work, therefore a bunch of idle cranks don't interest me much. Sitting on message board and complaining doesn't advance any ideology.

    My opinion of his character is not cause for action in any legal case. I am free to think him a coward all day long etc. and I do..
    This is an internet political forum, if he could bring suit and win on members expressing their opinions on topics OR even each other then - billions of lawsuits would be possible each week since that how often such opinions are expressed on the many tens of thousands sites daily.
    He can sue if one presents as fact, a deliberately false and inflammatory accusation, with deliberate intent to harm or cause injury ETC..
    Merely expressing a personal judgment on his character does no qualify.

    He likes to threaten lawsuits because he has likely had true grounds to do so at his workplace and won.
    Other than that he is just a blow-hard IMHO.
    NIGHTTRAIN PRETTY MUCH SAID THE SAME THING TO HIM BACK WHEN HE THREATENED TO SUE HIM..

    Plain and simple

    Lawsuits are helping destroy this country, as is a worm always praising Allah, IMO anyone that cries about suing as much as Tf does is a complete worm of a man, must of gotten the snot kicked out of him his entire life. Hell that could be the reason for his love of Muslims, Americans all beat his ass, but wait, the ass kicking he got wont be nothing to the beheading he is going to get from his new friends.

    Only if they seize control of this nation will he ever face such a possibility.
    He, in his self appraised Godlike wisdom, either thinks thats not possible or else thinks his continued appeasing will spare him any vengeful acts the muzzies heap upon the rest of us.
    Blind as a bat is no way to go through life IMHO.

    When have you ever made a point?

    It's fairly easy to discern the difference between your trolling and making a legitimate argument. You troll far and away more than you post any kind of real argument.

    And all Tailfins wants to do is call everyone who doesn't think like him what he is -- an internet bully and troll.
