That occurred on page 2 with Cinci's attempt to ridicule Computerbuck...
I think many have ridiculed computerbuck around here, for rather obvious reasons, but it's low hanging fruit.
I know. It's what you do. You must ridicule what you don't agree with or more appropriately, don't understand or care to understand. Insulting others, mocking them, makes you feel good about yourself. So, instead of accomplishing something, doing something great, you attempt to tear down people who you think are "low hanging fruit". Pathetic...
I can claim not to have called 3GS a miserable old gay man at least. I try and focus on the post and not the individual making the post. I'm sure I fail at times. I find it interesting when folks claim there is abundant clear evidence and then won't discuss it. Well, I understand the reasoning for that. Computerbuck is clearly someone delusional who needs help. And I don't understand nor care to understand his babblings.
True... I said that. Your point is what? You can keep trying to hang your hat on that, but it won't work. I have yet to read where CB actually addressed you in any derogatory way or manner and yet, for some reason, you feel entitled to insult him and demean him and... for no other reason than he's different from you. And I'm insecure. Winner. Winner. Chicken. Dinner.

When someone posts that nonsense here they merit being ridiculed, as do others with absurd notions. It's part of discussion.
Not part of discussion is calling posters pejorative names, like "miserable old gay man". Do you have a set? Stand on your own. I'd swear, that way you act... calling for help, getting others to come around you, to support you, to validate you... you're a female.

I've been known to demean an opinion or a position put forward as fact. My personal rule is to do my best to never demean the person. I've come close a number of times and actually have apologized because I have let the argument get the best of me. I really don't like having to apologize, so I let that be a deterrent.

The name calling now seems to be in full force. That usually reflects frustration with how a discussion is going.

I doubt you have done so just because someone was different than you or held a different belief or perspective. I have watched 3GS, time and time again, run swiftly to vehemently attack Jesus Christ and Christians. He did so in this thread. The first time I push back, he starts with the "insecure" tactic. He is part of a den of vipers.

ComputerBuck's Marvelous Magical Thread of Wonder...
Changing someone's thread title from "earthquake hits Cleveland" to the above strikes me as ridicule, but I'm sure someone has an excuse for that.

No, I don't run to do so just because it is different. I view these boards as a proving ground for the opinions and worldview that I hold. As a result, I'm constantly adjusting(micro adjustments at this point). With that said, I do challenge things that I disagree with, and foolishly expect non-disingenuous conversation. That doesn't always occur. I do get frustrated with him.....

You're equating merging threads with the vile things you call him? But, you're wrong again. I didn't change his Cleveland title. I merged threads, keeping all original thread titles and comments. I told him if he didn't like the title, that I'd change it. Now, you're sifting through threads and comments, desperately grasping at straws.

CB has in fact insulted me numerous times given I don't buy into his loony Lyme disease notions. If you post crazy chit people just might point out it's crazy chit and question your sanity. If you can't handle your faith being questioned in any way maybe you're too sensitive for an internet message board.
