Seriously, put up with the abuse and become an accepted member of the community. LOL, the other fun thing is that since this place lists far to the left, you'll get to see what it's like to express a minority POV much of the time.

 

Well thanks a lot @PepperAnn !!

Now I cannot get the song "Only the Good Die Young" out of my head

Come out Virginia, don't let 'em wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw but sooner or later it comes down to faith
Oh I might as well be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw but that never hurt no one
So come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal and I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never let's in the sun
Darlin' only the good die young

 

I don't think she's a troll, just passionate and fixated in her beliefs. OTOH, I've been wrong before, time will tell.

At least she's not pushing "herbal male enhancement" or something.

 

It's funny how you can read the words to a song and hear it playing in your head. The brain really is a marvelous thing.

 

@PepperAnn you naughty, naughty, naughty little ginger!

I love it. And quite frankly, I don't blame ya doing this. I don't want her to leave nor do I think she should be silenced just because she has unpopular opinions that go against the grain of the clique.

We need the entertainment around here. But you gotta admit that "the other" thread was a powder keg which was bound to explode. I had to act fast, like MacGruber..... MacJama!!!!!

 

Why put up with abuse. ?

 

and as it's run by the Left" I guess I don't belong here. Tolerance for different opinions isn't a widespread virtue.

 

Newcomer? Sounds like an old fashioned AA meeting

 

It's good practice for dealing with abrasive people IRL? or

The best way to find out if what you believe is sound is to tell it to someone who disagrees.

 

She didn't say it was "run by the left". She said that this place lists far to the left, meaning that most people who post here have liberal or leftist ideals. But that doesn't mean they run the forum.

 

That's a very good clarification! It also brings up another good point which is that since there is no *defined* political view here, if Virginia goes out and collects 20 people who think and post just like her then THAT will become the dominant view here.

 

Wait.... you need to be VERY specific with me right now.

Do you mean "collects 20 people who think and post like her".....

A. In a political ideology sense?

or

B. 20 VB clones with massive misspellings, quoting themselves and responding, quoting me, then responding to you, and talking about getting blocked on Twitter every other post?

Because I don't care about option A. Freedom of speech and all. 20 VB clones are entitled to that just like the rest of us.

But option B..... Nah. Hell nah! This forum would turn into a cyberspace version of CHAZ or Minneapolis. There'd be total carnage. Mayhem. I'd probably murder @PepperAnn and then commit suicide. We cannot have option B. lol

 

Hey! Did you know I was banned from Twitter and Facebook?

 

Did you know that Instagram owns Disney?

 

how do I still have access?
