Ben Shapiro

Literally have posted two posts too many, defending myself. I really don't give a ****. If anyone takes the time to go through my posts, they'll understand that I'm not Hitler. If you find me abrasive, put me on ignore. I'll continue to respect others, but refuse to coddle those who don't reciprocate.
 
Definitely not true. I did that in this thread only because I was trying to prove to Archie that young people aren't the only sensitive people. Can you list examples outside this thread?
Wrong. Definitely true. Just as an example, you've responded to me with several of these types of comments. How about the one where you said something like "Not trying to be a dick, but have you ever lived or even traveled outside of America?" I answered your questions but you didn't say another word. Why? Turns out that it's actually possible for someone to travel and live outside of the US, but have opinions that are different from yours.

BTW, I would have no issue with your question if you'd left off the "Not trying to be a dick" part which is simply advertising that you're trying to be a dick.

No. I can't. That's just been my impression lately.
 
I got banned for 6 months after trolling PearlWatson about Obama being reelected back in 2012.

I was always this charged and politically active, and I've always been one to never back down. I don't go around picking fights. It's just becoming more frequent, and I guess I've filled the One Brow vacuum.

The only people who've felt slighted by my confrontations are people who are confrontational themselvesI don't give two ****s about franklin's complaints. Unlike him, you GF and CL definitely make the board a better place, so I do take your words to heart.

But if you're going to hold me to these high standards, it's only fair you expect the same of others. I can't be mother Theresa over here like RedJazzFan says racist ****, Howard mischaracterizes my arguments (and admits to starting questionable threads just to prompt a response from me), franklin trolls, and Archie calls people my age sensitive and entitled.

Who else is there, that I've 'chased away'?

Maybe we hold you to a higher standard because we expect, and are used to, more from you. You can be whatever you chose to be. That is not dependent on how others act or what they say. Also you have always been opinionated and engaging, it's your tone that has changed. Not your activity level in these debates. Usually you saved this for certain people. Now it seems to be for everyone with a different opinion.

Either way I value you and your opinion. Just how I see it and I see no point in debating it. You don't agree and that's fine.

Thoughts on Sanders night last night? Also I have been left out. Am I a plus or a negative?
 
I've disagreed with Dalamon countless times, and I've never had any problems with him or his tone. His opinions are often met with hostility, and he's become more of a bulldog as a result. You can't insult someone and dismiss his opinions as "radical leftist" or "know-it-all college kid", then expect them not to dig in deeper. As for humility, it is overrated. Plenty of posters on this site lack any shred of humility, despite holding the stupidest ****ing opinions.

I don't care that you chase people away or whatever. As for the other posters, I don't really care about them either, I have always thought very highly of you, thought you had a strong moral fiber.

I'm sure there is a lot more to the convwrsation, and I was just posting my thoughts are on what I have seen lately. I really enjoy the discussions where we are not out to best the other person or win at something, but we are just having a discussion among friends.

I'm sure Archie, as has been mentioned by Gameface, has taken unpopular stances just to play devils advocate, and I'm sure he probably deserved what he got.

I just dislike the internet culture of people feeling like they need to own someone or take them to the woodshed.

People have differing opinions and that's OK. Rich discussion about topics (honestly probably not archies point in starting this particular thread) can be a very valuable part of what we are as people.

Didn't reply cuz I didn't see the response, honestly. I still don't know the answer to the question. And your last line puzzles me, quite frankly.

Thank you.

BY SAYING YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO BE ONE THING, YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE TRYING TO BE THAT THING THAT YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO BE

HIS LOGIC IS INFALLIBLE!
 
This is the internet, I've met a few posters here in person and realized that I totally had the wrong idea about them.

The answers were yes I've traveled outside of America (a lot) and yes I've lived in a country other than America (Canada, plus extended time in France).

The last line means that I think it comes off extremely dickish to begin a question by saying "Not trying to be a dick..." You don't get that?
 
Dal, Siro why are you still posting in this thread? Srsly it's 8 pages of garbage.

And for the record I never meant to start a "bash Dala" party. I like him better than most of you all anyways. Regardless of how I perceive his tone to be.

"Intolerance of intolerance" thing is a cliche, and it is not what I'm talking about. Similarly, you'll never hear talk about how I'm not religious, but spiritual. My argument has little to do with pop-cliches. What I'm saying is, the left has set the standard on what is and isn't to be tolerated, and everyone who disagrees will be bullied into silence. This isn't a case of people banding together to drown out the drivel of a fringe element, like a Neo-Nazi. It is the removal of speech as a tool for any person who does not share their values, which they consider a product of pure logic that cannot be disputed. And it has little to do with combating "intolerance". Take protests against Western Civ classes at colleges. This has nothing to do with having an intolerant position. It is about what is acceptable to talk about, and what should be buried. Additionally, the progressive stances that are tolerated are narrowly defined within the momentary zeitgeist. If I take a pro-incest position, I would be torn apart by the progressives, merely because it is not currently one of their issues.

I believe this exactly why Trump has had any traction in this election cycle.
