It was neat the way he upstaged Mitt and ran long and knocked parts of Mitts speech off the air in some regions. We can expect more of this lack of planning from a Mitt admin.

Well Doc, I MUST apologise for that. Really, sometimes you just get under my skin and I blow a fuse and I shouldn’t call you names. But you need to remember I don’t mind being called a twit or a redneck so you need to update your insult list. LOL

It’s not you I’m upset about. It’s the selective bias of the monitors. People call each other FAR worse names than my gentle two that you’ve mentioned and get away with it while I am threatened with banishment for using mine.

I know you’re not offended and I know no one else is either. The question is, why are THEY?

@DrCanuck
well I can’t imagine expect maybe I fudged the spelling with the dollar sign to fool the computer and …..welll ….yours are not insults at all really. Not profane in anyway that I can see.
maybe a petition in your favor?

With adequate “linguistic skills”, one can frame “insult”, or “proper intellectual descriptor” in such manner as to avoid the “censor”. However, this generally means the "recipient’ also can’t figure out that “alternative to expletive”. This worked well in my law enforcement contacts, when smiling, and seemingly remaining both friendly and “professional” when suggesting the “abusive miscreant client” might spend some time researching his ancestry.

Did anyone ever see “Harvey”? Great play and a movie starring James Stewart. Harvey is an invisible 6’ tall white rabbit. The difference between Harvey and Obama is: Harvey actually helps someone.

Perhaps it is a symptom of the kind of mania that is striking the extremes of both political agendas, not only here on these boards, but throughout the country.
Maybe we could all (both extreme liberals and extreme conservatives) stop referring to each other in a derogatory manner. To me at least this is not the dreaded PC, but just common decency and courtesy (let alone proper English).
How about starting by banned such as “libtards, and Dumocrats”, or “neoCons and Repulsivicans”.
And I have been guilty of this kind of thing myself in the past, but mostly as a child (and I am now almost 70).
However, As a far wiser man that I once said in a letter, I Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verse 11:
" When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
Wisdom that I think we could ALL use when posting on these boards!!!

Well. I’m all for it Robert. Now don’t be upset if someone gets on your case about quoting that fairy tale book the Bible. God knows (hahaha) it’s got some good advice in it but there ARE those that are easily offended and take umbrage when someone mentions it.
Still, I don’t have any stones to throw and certainly not the first one. My temper is in need of constant supervision and sometime slip away.

I agree with a lot of your suggestions about the level of English used and the childish labels some people use. Unfortunately the level of some of the commentators is not up to your standard. When you criticize someones spelling, you are likely to get flak. When you reason you get drowned out by slogans. Maybe we need 2 levels of comments??
