The lefties on SW are quite persistent and easily resort to anger and name calling

@jackjjackson I'm simply reacting to your persistence. Maybe when you finally understand what civil discourse entails, I'll stop.

Then again, I may not........'coz calling out your hypocrisy is kind of fun 😂😂😂
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Try providing an example of civil discourse and we will see. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson None with you chumo. But here's a conversation that I had on SW just yesterday.

It must have been quite please it has been deleted lol. I meant that youstart a civil discourse with me on the subject of your choice and we will see how it goes. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson Nope! Not deleted. Could it possibly be that you have been blocked by the originator of the thread 😱

As I recall, some months ago I tried to do just that. I even remember telling you that, if you posted rational arguments, I would treat you and your arguments with the respect that they deserved.

Yeah, like that really worked.

Well. The link you referred to is gone. Since you say topics I started didn’t go so well. How about we try something different and you start a topic. I converse regularly with many people on here who don’t see things the way I do. I do tend to respond in kind to unfriendly commentary. Go ahead, let’s try something new. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson Nope. It's not gone. I just checked. Junior, you've been blocked!

I'm trying to keep things civil with you on the post about the NYT OpEd piece. Why do I need to start yet another conversation?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I don’t need to. Simply a suggestion. So far so good on the NYT thread. If I’ve been blocked then the thread you’re referring to is obviously one sided. I can guess who may be involved inasmuch as the instances of my being blocked are rare and me doing the blocking don’t exist. @room101

@jackjjackson "If I’ve been blocked then the thread you’re referring to is obviously one sided."

Please explain what you mean by "one sided".
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
A majority of left wingers patting themselves on the back 😀@room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson erm.......is this your idea of being civil. You have not been able to view the conversation and yet you feel that you are able to assert that it consists of a majority of left wingers patting themselves on the back?

How? Why?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Nothing uncivil at all. No name calling. Easy deduction. Left wingers hve blocked me. From my side, the constant cross examination in which was exchange doesn’t FEEL all that civil. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson Constant cross examination?

You don't know what was said and by whom. If you can't see the topic at all, then you have been blocked by its author. That author has indeed declared himself as both a socialist and an anarchist. So, yeah, left wing. But as to the rest of the participants? You don't know, do you.

And there certainly wasn't any patting of backs. In fact, I disagreed with what was said by the other participants of the specific thread in which I interacted. And we argued our respective positions accordingly. Without declaring our political leanings. So again, you don't know, do you.

Step one in being civil. Don't make assertions from a position of ignorance.

Without seeing it I can only surmise. What I surmise is shoppers sorting through dark blue sweaters with no light blue, gray, black, pink, green or red sweaters from which to choose. I don’t see open mindedness to opposing viewpoints. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson I would strongly recommend that you adopt a more open mind about your fellow SW members.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Sorry. I have no interest in an open minded attitude towards someone who has blocked me. @room101
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It’s a moot point. I’m blocked so it doesn’t matter. Someone who blocks a SW member for having different politicsshould br more open minded. If the thread you allude to is all that I’m sure I would hve something of interest to add. @room101
room101 · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson This conversation is indeed moot because you can't see the conversation that I provided. I suggest that we end it there.
