Actually, Persimmonpudding is the one who got reported several times and who I quoted for:

"You are simply a jerk, and that is not about to change."

Although it is defensible or even advisable to train in preparation for a variety of possible situations, when I was a young child, my father carefully passed on to me the instruction given to him by his grandmother. I can assure you that, if they do it in Hollywood, it is wrong. The image you present is that of a naive child. It is s fantasy.

Furthermore, my views are not even remotely opposite of yours. My views are in support of the status quo, which I perceive as generous. You ought to show greater appreciation for that. It is not your guns or your perceived rights to them that I despise. You are simply a jerk, and that is not about to change.


You've been reported several times today, please tone it down a bit.


In all fairness, I have to defend Raptor. He makes conversations on WP truly interesting.

I thought I enraged you and caused nuclear bombs to go off in your eyeballs.
I see I have much work to do.......

Pardon my ignorance, but what are ad homs?


ad ho·mi·nem
ˌad ˈhämənəm/
adverb & adjective
1. (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
"vicious ad hominem attacks"
2. relating to or associated with a particular person.
"the office was created ad hominem for Fenton"

Personally, I like toying with "ad hom" attackers and trolls. :D
It's safe with me because my feelings cannot be hurt.

to be clear, the other thing that got her reported was, the ending of another post:

i guess I'm a bit too sensitive for PPR :D if that's OK even for PPR

Yeah, argumentum ad hominem - one of many informal fallacies, i.e. responding to arguments by attacking a person's character, rather than to the content of their arguments. it's prohibited by the forum rules, which to some people's surprise even apply to PPR! Well at least occasionally they should in my very humble opinion. :P

Okay, I ought to know that. Admittedly, I'm more than a little drunk, as my wife and I decided we'd get alcohol instead of candy this Valentine's day - and wouldn't you know it, part of it has gone down the toilet before adding fat to my waist line! :lol:

PPR has traditionally been a bit messy (i.e. ad homs, trolling, straw men, dog whistling flame baiting, etc).
Really, when a forum is created for the sole purpose of discussing politics, philosophy, and religion (especially politics and religion) a climate is created for incivility since people tend to be passionate about those.

We only borrow alcoholic beverages (especially beer) since it gets returned to the water supply in a roundabout way....

Yeah, it's hard to draw that line what is accepted and what isn't in PPR, and to be quite honest, I still haven't quite mastered that, but I think that nonetheless some decency should be required even here, and personal attacks shouldn't be allowed.
