The Discussionist Discussions...


I'm thinking about this weekend, when I decided to go over to DI (seldom, but I about doubled my post count past the 160 mark, now, so you can see I was trying to have conversation).

Noted: The Jury is more forgiving for snark and assholery

Noted: I can argue with conservatives about things, and then get some good links so that I know way more about case law and the second amendment

Noted: I shall return.... And, I don't think I have to wait for a DU offline situation

Finally, Noted: Lots of big breasted tee shirt ads. As a woman, I think I know who some of those assholes might be.



   

MMM

Still talking shit huh?

Those ads are either random, from an source paying DU's owner for access, or chosen by Google or some other supplier, based on the search and browsing habits of those using MMM's computer. So there's a good chance MMM seeing the buxom models in T-shirts is due to her browsing habits, or those of some one in MMM's household.

DI - I kind of like those folks - I'm glad I got the opportunity to engage with them

I wouldn't have done so if DU hadn't been down. There are some articulate and interesting people around there

I tried to sign up to DI but never got the confirmation email.

It wasn't worth pursuing.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

It wasn't worth pursuing.

Only if you have a high tolerance for headache-inducing stupidity.  It's fun, at first, watching them react to counterfactual smackdowns, but there really is no acknowledgement of truth, anything contrary is raycissssssss, blah-ba-de-blah, blah.

It gets old, .... fast.

I do not have a DI account.

Ehh...All in all I thought it was a sort of amazing weekend. Of course it started out kinda rough as some of the DU folkes came over with nothing but ad-hominem on their mind but it got sorted out to one extent or other.

It is a rare thing to get to go toe to toe with a DU regular and not get banzored, some have gone a whole year or whatnot without that opportunity. I wish that I had taken greater opportunity of it once real shit bombers got sorted.

I think that in the end it worked out quite well as there seems to be some dissention brewing in the ranks over on the island. Also there might be some other things developing that might or might not be kinda interesting.

Anyway, I know you guys know your way around the Island so I won't bother dragging anything over but I encourage you to poke around.


Edit: And the sorting out is on going.

It's like when one of the window lickers finally decides to sign up here.  Once you shoot down all their liberal talking points...which normally happens within the first 30 posts...they have nothing but insults and put downs as their reserve.

That's assuming they don't start with with insults and put down, then they last about 6.
