Don't know there Jackson, why do you need to hide behind that picture. Are you as ugly as your statements, or do you simply lack courage.

@toronto_Georgia why do you think Al should have been forced to step down, but others shouldn't? What is the difference?

And maybe I don't show my actual face because I am a Liberal on a heavily Conservative site? I am an open Satanist on a site with many fundamentalist Christians. I am an open Jew on a site where someone peddles dangerous anti-Semitic conspiracies daily. I have had posters on here threaten me on multiple occasions. Why would I purposefully doxx myself and put myself in danger? I am not a fool.

@JacksonNought I do hear what you are saying, but I don't necessarily give merit to it. There are others on here with exceptional (read different) views who feel no such obligation to protect their visual identity. Courage is the ability to stand for a position without the need to hide your visage. I find on here the most outrageous comments are made by those who hide behind memes. Speaks volumes.

@JacksonNought I didn't say Al Franken should have stepped down, you did. I merely acknowledged your position.

@toronto_Georgia you said "Don't know there Jackson" in response to my comment. Was that not actually in response to my comment, and just a random criticism and dismissal? You also asked "Are you as ugly as your statements" - was that also not in reference to my comment, but another random aside? Why don't you comment this on everybody who doesn't have their face in their avatar?

@JacksonNought Interesting, yes, we are a free speech site and although I have no interaction with the anti-semite, this site tolerates all views which is one of the reasons I enjoy it. You are the first person to mention being threatened, and in all the time (several years) I have been on here I have never seen anyone else threatened. Wonder why that is? Perhaps that's why you hide behind a meme. Having lived in St. Davids, I am quite familiar just how large Philadelphia is ... and you don't feel safe from being hunted down?? you poor frail thing.

@JacksonNought
I found your initial comment both offensive and off point.

I only commented on you because the others are not offensive and treat fellow posters with respect even when disagreeing. You on the other hand are always disagreeable.

You are only permitted to change your "name" once, initially I used a long-standing moniker. When I'd been here long enough I put in my first name but retained a part of my moniker so people would know both were one in the same. You have a problem with that?

My location is actually "Upstate New York" as differentiated from gross NYC. My tiny town doesn't really tell anyone about the local environ. There is a huge difference between NYC and most of NY which is gorgeous and rural.

@toronto_Georgia my initial comment that Al Franken should not have stepped down was "offensive"? How exactly? Perhaps you need thicker skin if someone's opinion is offensive?

In fact it wasn't even disagreeable. It was complementary. Yet you somehow took issue with it? You have yet to explain why.

You seem to be wearing blinders quite often if you somehow don't see other posters being offensive or disrespectful. You don't see constant racists, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Semitic posts non-stop on Culture War or Jokes and Memes? How about when I recently posted a joke on the Jokes and Memes forum, and was called "Pretty pathetic" and "one sick puppy" and "The only thing you’re good for is being an annoying little twerp. I bet you were pushed around a lot as a kid...Go back to jerking off, loser."

From now on I guess I need to enlighten you on the different goings on around the site. I will tag you where I feel you should comment on other posters.

And ok, you can't change your screen name. That is fine. What is your full name? You can tell me here.

@JacksonNought If people are speaking to you in such a manner, and it happens frequently, YOU may in fact be the creator of your own demise. Enjoy your visits here. I certainly do, but then I'm not a sucker for punishment.
