Hello Walt,
Teflon has nothing left but personal attacks on me. It is sad what the former Republican Party has become.
The abuser/enabler relationship requires two parties.
That's why I have a large Ignore List. In a place like JPP that only makes perfect logical sense, totally expected.
If somebody attacks me personally, that first instance is on the attacker.
At that point I know I have been warned that the attacker intends to conduct them self this way.
If I continue interacting with them, I can expect more of the same.
The second time it happens, and every subsequent time, is my fault. I refuse to be the enabler in a dysfunction relationship.
Talking to that person is like seeing a button on the wall labelled "For more insults, press here," and repeatedly pressing the button!
No thanks. Life is too short for that. I've been chatting online for decades. I already determined I 'could take that' a long time ago, don't need to any more.
So now I spoil myself. I've got nothing to prove. I come here to talk about politics.
I only wish to interface with polite posters who can discuss politics without making it personal.
Having a large Ignore List filters out all the junk posts and leaves one with only the higher quality posts.
Hey. Nobody can read every single post, so why waste time with shallow drivel?
