155. oh you poor thing

are you confused about where we "are"? That would appear to be the least of your confusions.

Like many of your ilk, you also seem to be CONfused about the definition/concept of reciprocity. I don't blame anyone that is "name-called", etc, for merely being critical of BHO for reacting negatively to their detractors because of the first blood drawn nature of this.

And I reject the notion that direct "name-calling" etc is substantively different from the efforts to mask the identical insult in 25 words or less, (or more as the top poster did) as well as the idea that just because some name-calling occurs that all the dialogue and arguments that accompanies it are rendered meaningless. Both sides (starting with yours notwithstanding) are playing a "you're a dumbass and here's why" game, and just because a "dumbass" designation may be a part of it doesn't refute the "why" part of it. It just at best, provides those like you cause based on some "civility" standard, to errorneously if not dishonestly dismiss the material in its entirety.

Do you think they/those posts are trying to influence people like you or the top poster here? Of course they're not. They're either in response to the frustration attributable to the illiberal intolerance and consequent namecalling, etc, from your camp, or to provide additional material in support of the indictment of BHO they all represent on the spying issue.

Gee, what's next, such positive (although I'm sure you'd characterize it as "negative" reinforcement) reinforcement those BHO "bashing" posts represent aren't influencing?

Noun
The capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.

Maybe you should spend more time with a dictionary, and less time posting to people like me, and particularly as the one who starts the dialogue. Of course you don't see your line of BS as "bashing", because your kind gets to decide what is or is not insulting, how much so, and what the just and proper response to it might be. That's why the top poster felt free to ask whether we're insane or not, with the expectation that those like you would come along and ditto it, and to pounce on anyone that might take offense to it as I and perhaps others did.

I wouldn't go so far as to say your kind aren't worth talking to, but nicely is another story entirely. I have no problem whatsoever stating right up front and in no uncertain terms how I feel about your kind. I do however find it highly amusing that you "Are they insane?" types somehow seem to think you're the only clean and oh so civil highbrows though. I also find it highly amusing that we're allegedly "free" to "bash" BHO, and yet there's been a price to pay for it since the great chained cpi debate for doing so in the form of name-calling, etc, from your side.

just sayin...
