Thing is, hanoverhenry, if one comes here looking for a fight, one will find it.

My suggestion, FWIW, is stick to your message and your principles, and let it go at that. Be like Reagan.

They see RS as a means to an end that might allow them to accomplish and achieve their own goals outside of RS. That is all RS means to them…nothing more and nothing less.

Let’s see if I can “help” you to understand something this time. I’m not exactly what would be called “quick-witted”, hanoverhenry. I often have to have things spelled out for me in great detail….which I daresay has tried the patience of many a person here at RS. They tolerate me, for the most part, because what I offer into the mix of conversation is a viewpoint that is somewhat different than what many Conservatives tend to have. I’m a SoCon with an emphasis on broad-spectrum societal influences (as compared to SoCons who focus more on single issues)

From the tone and content of your diaries, I would say that one of the things you’ve been attempting to do is to reveal to others how deceitful the left truly is. And whether you realize it or not, you have an ally in me on that point. It is something that I frequently mention in the comments that I make.

But you’ve carried this goal to an extreme by means of projecting your own analysis of the same kind of hatefulness and anti-Christian sentiment that we often see coming from the left to some of the people commenting here at RS. I’ve known them longer than you have and what I can tell is that your statement is misleading at best and deceitful at worst.

In making those kinds of insinuations, it’s set up the backs of many of the people who have responded to your diaries. And I can’t say that I blame them for it either. They do not suffer fools lightly, hanoverhenry. They have little patience for such nonsense.

Had you simply presented your point, without including all the so-called examples of what you deem to be the same kind of tactics the left uses….it’s possible that your diaries would have been received far more positively, both inside and outside of RS.

As it is, you have dug yourself into something of a hole…all of your own making, mind you. Still are doing it, for that matter.

….Unfortunately trolling is a bi-partisan sort of phenomenon. But no one likes to be called a troll, or accused of being an Alinskite simply because they respond to others with contempt. It’s hard to engage in any kind of political conversation with respect, especially since we are not used to respecting those who believe and think differently from us, and that habit can even seep into our own conversations. How to say that in a gentle way that avoids causing offense is not an easy task, but good luck looking for it.

cmon now lineholder that is too funny. You post a “challenge” at 1 in th emorning (friendlier than many others here but incorrect in what you claim I said on Facebook) and then when I didn’t reply by 20 minutes later, you conclude something?

Again, you take things out of context and make false conclusions. Did it occur to you that some of us have a normal life, a wife, watch movies and do all sorts of things OTHER than watching for what our friendly (and unfriendly) critics want to bring to our attention here?

That is really hilarious.

…you are suggesting that I said it is me vs Red State. Very untrue, false. I said some of my articles, and some of the people who post here, very clearly. You took out of context what I wrote. I like Red State, like most of the articles I scan and read some more closely, just as others do. I do not feel any compulsion to criticize everyone who writes anything I do not agree with. Some here do in fact, use those ABE tactics. You have but to scan a little bit of the articles to see the use of personal pronouns which the writer intends to demean me personally, not engage in debate or discussion about any of the content of what I wrote. As I explained in the article, these are tactics used by the left because they cannot win honest issue discussions with us. It obviously enrages those who use the same tactic when their use of those tactics is identified. My calling them out on what they are doing does not mean I am doing the same thing. I haven’t engaged in any name calling here. I have not done as you state, it is very false. I have not made any such comment as you suggest at Facebook. My comments are in the article and taking what I wrote out of context here, and repeating it again and again, doesn’t alter the truth: most people here read the article. The statement you cite is accurate but the use of it to claim what I am saying elsewhere, is false, as is your claim that the out of context paragraph is used by me anyplace else. Put it in context, be honest about it please.

Thanks for writing.

I’m “hitting the contact page”….something that I’ve rarely done in my over 4 years here.

I think it’s in RS best interest to keep an eye on this and make sure it doesn’t get out of hand. That’s all.

I’m guessing that one of two things is happening. Either you’re starting to realize that some of the comments you’ve been making present RS in a negative light and it wasn’t really what you intended to do

OR’

It’s what you intended to do and you aren’t responding because the question I put to you above hits too close to the truth.

“Here at RED STATE, some of my strongest articles have come under the sort of vitriolic, attack which sounds like it was lifted right off the pages of Daily Kos and other leftwing internet hate sites. It has been highly personal, very often with frank admissions that the critics haven
