Really Marcus? Really.

Yes really.

I hadn't seen that one, but I have seen equally stupid things CaptainShuddup has said, and I have responded to them sometimes. But not (usually)by calling him names. OR maybe I should say, only very occasionally calling him names.

Part of it is that he takes an idea that he maybe believes in a way, but then expresses it in an absurdly over the top way to make the point (and also to troll the liberals). At the same time sometimes he is almost intentionally an idiot in some ways that aren't going to change. He thinks of it as an art form, and feels that it makes him unique and special.

He is like you (but to a lessor degree) in that he doesn't care very much what you think. Actually you only ostensibly don't care. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't react so emotionally every fricken time.

But if what he says really does seem absurd to you (as your CptnSDup quote does to me) then you have many options., such as.

1) Ignore that comment, or use the ignore feature all together.

2) Think of a logical or creative way of either pointing out in a serious way the absurdity of what they are saying or perhaps use sarcasm to show what the consequence of agreeing with them would mean.

3) Express your view of what they are talking about, without allowing yourself to be so easily trolled. This is an excercise in controlling your emotions (an important adult skill).

OFten times you can see the little nugget of something that is the cause of his belief, even if it is exaggerated, and you can point out the flaw.

For example, if people do indeed sometimes abuse welfare or food stamps, ...

1) What percentage is it ?

2) Are there also many people benefiting, given our current economy and low paying service jobs and so on.

3) Is his claim true that poor immigrants routinely come here and do better than college educated white people here ?

4) At this time with unemployment and underemployemnt as high as it is, the idea that liberals only support so called safety nets because they intentionally want to create a dependent class large enough to guarantee future elections is so obviously absurd.

COuld it be that policies of the past thirty years of income redistribution upward have created the current conditions of low income people that require additional support if we aren't going to embrace shanty town type poverty of the third world?

I could go on, but the fact is that right wingers attribute the most absurd causality to their observations. In some cases, this simply because of authoritarian personality type, and or talk radio, and or living amongst too high a number of relatively monotone under educated racists.

But that isn't their fault.

edit: I meant monochrome - but monotone kind of works too.

He says things from a place of hate. He has no love for anything that is diffident from himself. Apparently he is Southern Baptist educated!Makes sense, but honesty i don't know. What I do know is his hateful ignorant comments should be on NEWSBUSTERS or THEBLAZE where they belong.

CpBIGOT should be with GLENN BECK

marcus says

If you don't have a point to make that possibly could change someones mind, or at least make them think, then what's point of even responding.

I don't have a point? What are your talking about?

The guy spews hate, racism and bigotry or some form of hate towards woman , fat people and nearly everything that is not HIM! on nearly every post.

GET IT!

For your information I am extremely well educated, I graduated with two bachelors before I was 21, a masters before I was 24 and even higher qualifications before I was 30.

As for my approach, well as I have said I will no longer tolerate the HATEFUL SHIT SPEWED FROM HIS MOUTH! This has been going on here for many many years.

I have also been on PATNET since about 2006!

The reason for the emotion is obvious, the repukes are stepping it up, and so am I.

They want to hate and I am going to love.

Since CPT'BIGOT and zzzzxxzz Sandyhook incident I will not tolerate hate speech from the likes of that filth.

Thedaytoday says

I'm assuming your fan club that likes your posts immediately after you post them is equally well educated ?

Educated is as educated does. Good luck.

Does the term "narcissistic personality disorder" mean anything to you ?

Does the term "Nihilist" mean anything to you?

Call it Crazy says

Marcus, I don't know why you spend all this time trying to communicate with him, he is soo mentally unstable, he turns on a dime.... talk about a Jekyll and Hyde personality defect...

I think you know I'm done.

Can you still like and dislike the same post?

zzyzzx says

Can you still like and dislike the same post?

Yes. I wish there were an undo feature to Unlike or Undislike. But as of now it is possible to express ambivalence or a change of mind by clicking both or neither.

Call it Crazy says

Just make sure you "like" his posts... ha ha

I'm not going to see his posts, except on the front page, or if I'm not logged in. But I'm still going to be pretty shocked if Patrick doesn't kill his account.

Call it Crazy says

I know Patrick lets a lot of back and forth go

Which I think s fine. Using colorful language or even a little implied emotion in an otherwise content filled conversation that has some redeeming value is one thing.

But if someone frequently writes comments that essentially say nothing more than "I hate you,...go to hell." Literally nothing more, and not just on very rare occasions, but maybe 10 times in a day,.... that doesn't do much for the quality of the forum.

It's as if either he has some kind of disorder, where he can't see how it appears(lacking empathy), or he doesn't even understand what a forum is, and doesn't care if he has a negative impact on it.

(I know, I know - I have gotten in stupid arguments that were not very interesting to most people( e.g. with Dan or with curious 2). But when I do, I usually later put them on ignore, partly out of a understanding (or even an embarrassment), that other readers don't want to see my emotional response to someones BS, and when it gets to where I feel I'm being trolled or we are trolling each other, in a way that is just a waste of energy, then it's time to just not talk to that person, and not get sucked in to doing so. )

The Professor says

He probably got most of his dislikes from bad spelling.

when i first started to use email back on the old IBM Mainframe 370 with Disk Drum as memory.. we were taught from day 1... forget about spelling/grammar and everything you learned in proper writing... the shorter the better at what ever cost. All because memory was expensive.... in addition email boomed to which more people spent their days reading and writing back more and more emails .. skipping their real daily jobs they were hired to do. So formating a proper letter went out the window really fast.. else you lost your job.

well .. decades later we have billions of users just hogging the crap load of bandwidth and storage... so the same poor spelling/grammer/format writing style still apply and isnt that a big deal.

"Higher qualifications?" Is that another way of saying "Would you like fries with that?"

Just curious - do you also have a Captain Midnight Decoder Ring? Because if you did, that would really impress us.

Is it possible for one to "like" himself too much? We'll know that's been accomplished when his icon is wearing glasses...

your welcome.

A lack of perfection is one thing, which is understood here and in email.

Just not caring is another. Or worse not knowing.

But actually the CAptain has gotten better about it as far as I can tell. Maybe he cut back on the ummm,...

The Professor,
My comment just got deleted on another thread & another was deleted earlier this week. I am going places. All I have to do is follow my star.
One can't be a proficient troll if they proofread.lol

HEY YOU says

One can't be a proficient troll if they proofread.lol

Perhaps if you were logged into proofread.lol, you wouldn't have been kicked off. Just an observation.

Thedaytoday says

Somehow, this reminds me of OJ Simpson's statement in 1995:
"When things have settled down a bit I will pursue as my primary goal in life the killer or killers who slaughtered Nicole and Mr. Goldman."

BTW, wtf does "well as I have said" mean? Even if he is trying to save precious space on the interwebs through lack of punctuation, his grammar leaves much to be desired.

There's two kinds of people in this world,

those that make the best of list...
and those that are the most talked about in the best of list.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that partition people into two kinds and those that don't. I am one of the later.

There's no way Dan is that uber nut-job. Dan can actually post something *intelligent whether you agree or not.

*Intellengent in the sense that he put some thought, his own, into it. Not Intelligence in the sense, "I'm a Liberal and everything you say is Stupid" like others here like to define it.
