Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Published on May 25, 2005 By Dr Guy In Blogging

Today was another day in Peyton Place.  With one side going catty against another, and the other striking back.

And the losers?  The rest of us who read and respect all involved, and refuse to take sides.  All are guilty in trying to force the issue.  None are blameless.

Right now, I dont care to read any of the involved JU members unless and until they call of this jihad against the others.  We are not talking dull-does. We are talking members in good standing.  Each with a strong opinion.  Each with valid points when not using this avenue to trash another.

Mason has threatened to leave. I hope he reconsiders.  We, the members betwixt and between, are not happy with this latest war.  This is not a crunchy member threatening to take their marbles home.  This is several members that have no reason to hate each other, and indeed, given their own words, should not.

It is time it ended.  It is time each stopped acting like adolescents, and started acting as adults. 

To Texas (not at all involved BTW), I say repost your article on choosing sides.  I think it is apt here today.  Stop trying to choose up sides and get the rest of us involved.

I commented on each blog today, and asked one question, yet unanswered.  I will post no more on any, until said parties stop this mindless childishness.

for it is Childishness to continue to "nyah, nyah, nyah" each other.  All are worthy and contributing members of this site.  Today Stevendedalus and I agreed on something.  If we can, then all but the nuttiest of us can.

Do you want to be the nuttiest?  Of just members who disagree?

Stop it, or I will no longer visit your blog.

Es verwundet mein Herz tief.

You talk about childishness, but how juvenile is it to say, "quit arguing with my buddy or i wont play with you anymore?"

I never said that.  I said quit the childish flame war.  Big difference.  I will not BL you or the others.  But just as you have every right to write what you want, so I have every right to read what I want.  I am not asking you to make love to the others, nor even to like them.  I am asking you to be adult and civilized and not childish.

It is your choice.  I demand nothing.  I think I made my position very clear.  I prefer not to read these flame wars, and if you decide they should continue, then I guess I will have exercise my taste and not read them.

It is not a threat, nor is it a childish temper tantrum.  I am simply exercising my right to read what I want to.

I've enjoyed our interaction, so don't get me wrong, and I'd hope you wouldnt hold it against me for speaking so honestly here. But my blog is my blog, and well...its mine, understand? As long as I adhere to the ToU, I don't give a toss what anyone else thinks.

You can see a lot of hypocrisy if you like.  But by chiming in, do you mean I commented on them?  Sure.  But in no way did I do more than state the facts.  I dont read JFJ because I find him stupid, but I am not goin goput of my way to write a frickin article on him.  Nor on the others.  Nor am I going to take my feelings for them over to other blog off topic.

No, I do comment on their comments (well only Pigpen's actually - I ignore the rest), but I dont write blogs trashing them.

Maybe my new article is partly responsible. That wasn't my intent. I thought more people would agree.

No, it was just the full moon I guess.  I doubt any article actually started it.  It just had to happen.  And usually, they blow over as quick as they start.  But this one started degrading into cross posting comments, and I frankly had enough.

Hope this is heard. Way too many times we hear about disagreements that turn nasty. It's like it's never ending...

I think it has finally died.  Now we can get back to more fun things, like your 'girl' friend.

You are very wrong there Doc... the morons continue throwing trash in our faces.

No, Stevendedalus.  He does not post a lot, but usually has come very good points to make, even if I rarely agree with him. 

You dont post about politics, so while we dont agree philosophically, we usually do on the non-polticial issues.  As Zoomba said, I guess I am becoming more liberal, or they are becoming more conservative!

No, Stevendedalus.


I'm Steve but seemed to be called everything but...

I have stated my piece.  And Childish or not, I will abide my own rules as I dont care to feed the flames of the war.

That's ok, now go kick some politicians butts in Jerusalem and get them ramps in!  If the drivers over there are like they are here, you are in danger!

To me there is one core user that is the catalyst of this mess, and for some reason they enjoy it.

I guess we have all types.  I mean, Dabe, er, Pigpen, can jump on a blog that is being well debated with no flaming, and the first thing she does is start flaming.  She must love it.  SO I guess there would be one that would hate to see things civil, and must mix it up.
