TOL is for Dialogue!!!

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

liars

liars?

how do you talk to a liar?

so who is a liar?

a liar says they can't tell the difference

maybe they can't

they call themselves right wingers but spend most of their time bashing republicans

maybe they don't like republicans

maybe they are shills for the democrats

you really think that

it is the only thing that makes sense

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

they think I am a liberal

why?

because I want to destroy the democratic party

well that doesn't make sense

I know

how do you explain that?

well I can only speculate

I love it when you speculate

they are shills for the democratic party

but they are right wingers

so they say

don't you believe them?

no

are you calling them liars?

I don't believe them

 

[republicanchick]

because if you don't, i'm gonna lock this thread!

can u lock out that Aikado (or whatever the heck the name is) poster...?

 

[resodko]

nope, sorry

but feel free to mock him

 

[republicanchick]

like fool said long ago in a different context, she must enjoy it or she'd stop :idunno:

I think she did.. haven't seen here for some time

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

you can't believe what they say

what are they saying?

that there is no difference

maybe they don't see it

they can't be that ignorant

and if they aren't?

then they are liars

why would they lie about something like that?

they can't make their case without lying

why not?

killing a baby is impossible to justify

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

we don't listen

don't you mean read?

both

so we need to understand what the other is saying?

sometimes it is hard

why?

many reasons

so give us one

the meaning of words

the context should help you with that

not always

you can always google it

that doesn't tell what they think the word means

so why don't you ask them?

I do

 

[chrysostom]

so how many posts did you lose?

at least 2000

how did that happen?

it may have something to do with my giving nick 5 neg reps

didn't he show that?

along with those who gave him positive reps

did it happen the same day?

ubetcha

so he is well connected

ubetcha

everyone is intimidated by him

ubetcha

what can you do?

neg rep him back and let everyone know you are doing it

what good will that do?

you will get plenty of positive reps

 

[chrysostom]

This is called smearing peoples' character

what is?

pointing out that they called you a whore

they called you a whore?

yes

and you pointed that out?

yes

and you are smearing their character?

so it was said

that is amazing

 

[chrysostom]

so you are smearing their character?

that is what was said

what did you do?

I just warned newbies what they might find at tol

like what?

someone who calls himself a christian calling someone else a whore simply because they vote republican to protest the democratic support of abortion

well they can't be a right winger

I agree but they call themselves right wingers

that doesn't compute

they can't see the difference

that doesn't compute

I agree

 

[chrysostom]

there is a difference

how do you know?

they called me a whore for pointing it out

who?

genuineoriginal, rocketman, and nick m

aren't they right wingers?

all of them

why don't they see the difference?

I can only speculate

I love it when you speculate

they don't understand how government works

that is being kind

the only other explanation is they are lying

why would they lie?

they are not what they say they are

that would be lying

 

[chrysostom]

so did you lose more posts?

no

so lighthouse is posting up a storm

just six posts

so how did his post numbers increase so much?

I think they are messing with me

why would they do that?

they think I am messing with them

are you?

it looks like it

 

[chrysostom]

you sure do have a lot of friends

I am grateful for that

is it all about reps?

it is one of the nicest things you can do on tol

you didn't answer the question

yes I did

it is not the only nice thing you can do on tol

right

what else can you do?

show others that you agree with their posts

and you do that?

yes I do

 

[dreadknought]

Hi chrys.... talking to self doesnt qualify as as as as dialogue.

 

[chrysostom]

Hi chrys.... talking to self doesnt qualify as as as as dialogue.

I agree
but
what else can you do?

 

[chrysostom]

so you do get help

that's what friends are for

are you done warning the newbies?

we really need them

why?

we don't know what this place is doing to us

what can a newbie do?

remind us how awful we are to each other

don't you think it is getting better?

yes but I could be getting like them

 

[chrysostom]

are you going to have time for tol?

I will be busy with my brackets

how many?

as many as allowed

how many is that?

ten per email account

how many do you use?

two

do you have a system?

I spend a lot of time on that

are you going to turn over all your emails?

no

 

[resodko]

ik's still claiming that tol's a place for dialogue :idunno:

 

[chrysostom]

and
knight decides which ones are deleted
and
how many are added
