Bull****. Learn to disregard the personal insults directed towards you.
Have you seen me respond to any of the Salty or that other guy's attacks?
No, not lately. You decide to ignore them. It can be done. Hell, I've gone
for a couple weeks without responding to any of your ****, even though
you've directed a couple dozen posts a day towards me.

I'll ignore the attacks by Donnie and those other friends of yours. Easy as
pie.

As I stated, I will enter into and honor a one-to-one agreement with
you. If others decide to join in, I will extend them the same courtesy.

Quid pro quo. It's the *Christian* thing to do, don't you agree?
I think you're lacking in the will power department. You whine about folks
attacking you, but you won't stop. I'll be glad to do the Christian, and
Jewish, thing. I'll stop *all* personal insults if you'll do the same.

Do you find it too hard to ignore the attacks of others? Can you not
participate in *any* discussion without resorting to name-calling?

Actually, most of jackals are permanent members of my bozo bin, and will
never be allowed out. The permanent members include but are not limited
to Loogy, DK, FloridaJim, et cetera. But that's not the point.

I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling to
extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same.
Having all those folks filtered should make it easy.

No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm suggesting you
stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference?

Look at your statement above:

"Most of the jackals are permanent members..."

If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same
message across, but without the personal insult.

It's not that difficult.

I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there
because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals.
You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that
the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying
they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish
greatly.

I've considered that, and I've concluded the majority of "jackals" are
that way because of my politics.
No. There are other liberals here, and they're surely not treated the way
you are. They engage in discussions and don't resort to personal insults or
name-calling.

Your 'politics' has very little to do with the way you are treated here.
Think about it for a moment. Loogy is a liberal, yet he garners more
respect than you do, except from you and your liberal buddies. You can't
blame it on politics.

Attempting to always outdo everyone will cause some insults, but those can
be ignored also.

John...that's your opinion, it isn't mine.
I thought your comment about loogy...humorous.
So you chuck the whole idea, because our opinions differ? First, I didn't
offer an opinion. I stated a fact. There are several liberals, Democrats,
whatever, here, and they don't attract the insults you do. Nor, on the
other hand, do they begin with the insults and name-calling when they don't
seem to be winning the argument.

I'm glad you found my comment about Loogy humorous. It was also very true.

Hey...Loogy's your man. OK by me. :)

Is that your way of brushing off the idea of stopping the insults and
name-calling? That subject is still on the table, although it seems like
you're trying to side step it.

Once again, I agreed to not insult you so long as you didn't insult me.
That is it.
