Because I didn't want to? And as I said, I couldn't remember. Sorry, but I had more important things to worry about, like bills, a job, college, a relationship, and so on. JU isn't my top priority. 

Ahhh DG, don't be that person! Otherwise we all will be in trouble.

We just had a big bout of that (mocking) during your absence. You missed it. One thing I see, is you didn't acquire a thick skin. DG is right. If you comment in a manner that disagrees, then you should be prepared to back up your position. DG didn't have to push any buttons very hard to spin you up. In fact I don't even believe he was trying. Here is some advice, take it or leave it, next time you want to comment in opposition, take a little break and think about it for a bit. Don't let your fingers do your thinking. I often will read comments, depending on the subject, then post the next day, give it time to marinate. There is nothing so important on this site that you should blow your top over. Oh and toughen up a bit, you're going to go gray before your thirty if you have any hair left.

Must be a hell of a part time job if it pays you about $20/hr! 

It was your choice to jump in here, and no one is forcing you to stay or leave. I do not black list.  I have blacklisted 2 people in my tenure - one of them twice (she was using a second account against TOU).  So unlike liberals, I encourage dissent - but that does not mean I allow it to go unchallenged.  You seem to have a problem understanding that you cannot throw out an idiocy without it being challenged.  I understand that the left hates to have their myopia challenged and usually knee-jerks a rabid response.  Because they do not know they do not know.  That is your problem, not mine.  So stop trying to push your problems on me.  You have never been blacklisted, albeit you sure run fast when challenged.  Nitro is more right than I was.  You have not changed much at all.  3 months is not long enough for you to grow up.  Given your misinformation and ignorance, you need 3 years at least.

And you have done no reasoning.  I have been more than respectful of you since your return. But my patience does run thin.  You come onto my blog under false pretenses, with no conception of the subject at hand, spouting nonsense, calling names, and then accuse me of "attitude"?  You are also conceited!

That you do not like me is a given.  But after you then try to "mock me" (your own words), you say you should have been held to a higher standard?  Look who is being the douche bag!

I DID NOT BRING UP THE PAST!  You attempted to slander me with lies, and I challenged you on that.  As a result, like the coward you are, you tuck your tail and run away.  I debated you on the present!  I made comments about your past to others, but not in debasing and debunking your lies, half truths and ignorance.  That was and is easily done based upon your own stupidity.

That you do not like me is a given.  That is because I do not let you get away with the lies, distortions, and bullshit that others do.  And that galls you.  I care not for liars and idiots.  I enjoy debate with sane, rational, intelligent members of the left.  You do not qualify on any account.  If you are going to come in and spout your party line, be prepared with more than talking points to back it up.  And as anyone but an idiot can see, you will get a fine debate and or discussion.  But when your talking points are trashed, do not trash the trasher.  That shows your own inadequacy and sniveling cowardice.

Begone if you want.  I shall not play your pity pat game.  You have never been blacklisted.  I have never blacklisted anyone for their opposing views.  Nor do I see a need to blacklist some coward who wants me to in order to justify their "pity me" personna.

After your latest pathetic excuse for a showing, I am very glad you are a liberal.  it just reinforces the reality that they do not think, they just cry and whine.

Ignorance is curable with education. But the refusal to cure it is stupidity.  In your case you are demonstrating your case is chronic.

I know!  My spelling is atrocious as well.  But repeated mis-use?

No, I was not.  My first responses to him were out of ignorance to who he was.  Even after he admitted his latest incarnation, I remained respective, hoping he had matured.  But his latest tirade indicates he is still the little boy that has to have his mommy wipe his butt.

many a time I have written a comment, only to just close the window without posting it.  Actually writing it out and then reading it often allows you the time to reflect on what you are saying as well as why.

Yeah, I've done that myself on occasion. Some of my worst comments have been posted when pressed for time. I will go back to edit spelling I catch or to add content, but I don't like removing relative content. Don't seem fair to readers. Best to be deliberate and get out what you want to say the first time. 

Listen, I normally do have a thick skin, but right now I'm having money problems which is causing me stress to no end. In hindsight, perhaps it wasn't a wise decision to return here.

And no Doc, my game isn't pity. I have no game. I'm simply saying: if you don't like me, do what you want. I don't care. It's your fucking life dude. That's what I'm saying. I don't know how else i can put it, seeing as it's a pretty simple concept.

Who said it pays 20 and hour? I'd love a job like that; unfortunately, it doesn't. I'm actually getting paid a quarter of that an hour.

I agree as well. I hate my misspellings, but usually leave most of them there.  It is just when i see I fat fingered something like "own" to "won" that I correct it.  That fat fingering just confuses the message.

No, it is MY LIFE.  You may have a fucking life, I do not.

And I do not like or dislike YOU.  I do not know YOU.  I know your writing and my statements stand. You seem to have an over inflated concept of yourself that you would think people you do not know somehow are out to get you.  Why?  Do you think you are that important?

Part time job at $5/hr (you should sue- that is below minimum wage).  Assume at BEST 30hrs/week (you said part time).  That is $150/week, or about $7800/year.  Far below the "poverty" line in the US.  And paying for your college as well!

So what log cabin do  you live in?

You're right; you are totally right. I should know better than to not stop for a second, especially knowing I have a temper.

I don't agree with your observation of me having thin skin, but only in the sense that I know I don't normally have a thin skin. I'm just under a lot of stress and made a bad judgment call. Also, as I mentioned to doc, I have a low BS tolerance and I didn't care for his attitude. So, it was really a bad situation from the beginning, i guess.

What fucking tirade doc? My being sick and tired of what I consider bullshit? Oh, I'm sorry, I guess having a low tolerance for BS is equivalent to being immature. Well then, I'm so sorry massah' big boy.

Truth be told, I was pretty chill at first. I disagreed with doc's opinion, but it wasn't a big deal. What was a big deal (merely irritating at first), was his attitude. I had put the past behind me; I've been focused on growing, getting ahead in life, and so on. Not reveling the crap that happened 5-6 years ago. I was being me, not anything else. Yet, doc goes off starts digging into me based off of what he assumes I am. HE dug up the past. Aside from my admitted mistakes and faults, I was just pissed off at him bringing it up.

And doc...do you really think you know what the hell you're talking about? Are you the director? His family? An environmentalist? An expert? Don't tell me to not talk about what I don't know, when you're no better.

Tell me doc...where have I lied? You're making allegations, so back them up. Otherwise, you're dealing in slander. Which is crap.

Also, I apologize for the comment about you not having a pair. Again, that was my temper. It was uncalled for and I accept all blame. And no, you backing down to LW wasn't a lie. I do vaguely remember a couple times, but, since I can't clearly remember them, I will withdraw what I said and apologize.

I don't know how simpler I can get with you Doc. I'm not being any of what you've claimed. Yeah, I have a bad temper, and it's something that I'm constantly working on. But, you know, I deal with a lot of people every day. Whether it's with work, school, life in general, whatever...and you know what, they don't come to the same conclusions.

I don't know, maybe this place just brings out the worst in me. Maybe you and I just can't get along. Who knows.

All I'm saying is, please don't bring up the past. That's for me to deal with and learn from; not, for you to smack me over the head with.

Heck, Nitro is being pretty level headed with me and I thought he'd rip into me.

You don't have a life? Oh, okay, I'm sorry...

Hell no, i don't think I'm that important. I don't see where you're getting that. My beef isn't with "everyone," it's with you. My beef is YOU getting pissy at me.

And you're right, you said it perfectly...you do not know me. So, if you don't know me, how can you make an accurate judgment of who I am? You can't discern the emotion or inflection behind every word. You can't see the facial gestures.

Get to know me first, THEN make a judgment. It's simple.
