Welcome to America

[mputnal]

I don't enjoy attacking people, and whether a person uses a real name or not has no bearing on my responses. If I think someone's ideas are wrong-headed, I will say so, and, I am sorry to say, I, sometimes, get snarky about it. It is truly agonizing to feel the destruction of this nation that has been happening for the last 4 years. If you want to be thin-skinned, maybe you should stay off these political threads.

Oh, you and others in this forum have taught me not to have thin skin. I know you prefer me to "stay off" political threads or any other thread. I am not welcome in your narrow minded group. You have indeed attacked me personally! I hope you do not enjoy attacking people because it is unnecessary to make a point. I am able to listen and learn. Calling me a troll is not offering anything constructive. Maybe you should offer something more constructive or stay off political threads.

I hear you about the agonizing destruction of this nation but being so divided is making it worse. We can disagree on issues without making this about sides. I offer friendship. I am not your enemy but you keep trying to make me your enemy. Why?

I am not trying to make you my enemy. If anything, you are casting me as your enemy. I don't even think like that. All I ever said is your idea of Biden talking to that woman was a bad idea. I never said that Jacob should be given a pass. I never said that. Everything else, from that point on, was a construction in your mind, only. Not mine.

 

[mputnal]

No, you said a lot more than it was a "bad idea". You called me a troll. That is a personal attack. In the past you used my name to attack me personally. Are you not capable of hearing your own words?

 

[mputnal]

Lvt, keep telling yourself that you are not destructive in the way you communicate with people you disagree with. I have agreed with you on many things. I think I even said once that I "enjoyed" your conversation on another subject and that was after your personal attacks. This is what I am constructing in my mind...do not hide...be honest...do not hate...be engaged...be positive...be aware...be fearless...take responsibility...and most of all try to be BETTER.

I left out the one my grandmother was most proud of...learn how to forgive

I hearby apologize for calling mputnal a troll.

 

[mputnal]

Apology accepted

I love our community and this country just like you. We just have to work together and listen to each other. I make mistakes, don't always get it right and learning each time. Just trying to be better. I so hope Biden/Harris win this thing and so we can heal this division!

Snarky and ill-informed still. Everyone here knows who you are and how you justify your lack understanding despite protests to the contrary. We know how, outside of this forum, you are quick to lay blame, even rail against others without checking the veracity of your high-minded beliefs and how you seldom if ever admit to error or extend a genuine apology for misplaced allegations or misdeeds. There is nothing you can hide behind anymore, You are a fraud,

My grandmother would be disappointed in me if I did not assume lvt's apology was sincere. People can change but you might know this person better than me so I will not hold my breath

If Biden's advisors are telling him that racism is the only issue that will get him elected then it would be the same thing as Trump's advisor's telling him that law and order is the only issue that will get him elected. That would be one issue canceling out the other! Not smart. Not wise. Not honest.

No, they are most likely, and correctly, advising him not to make this woman’s pain any worse by politicizing what happened to her.
