Okay, Theory9, touche.

You make a valid point.

If I'm going to call for civility, then I need to choose a phrase other than "partisan cocksucker" to describe those who are being deliberately misrepresentative and uncivil, and who constantly post the most pointlessly demonizing and inflammatory rhetoric possible about republicans/conservatives.

I have to admit, it has been quite satisfying to call them cocksuckers, after repeatedly appealing to their reason, being worn down to the point that I finally began fighting fire with fire, instead of remaining civil to those who have been unbelievably uncivil to me, and to other conservatives here.



Does anyone remember my first exchanges with Whomod on the DC boards 4 years ago, when he was being as inflammatory as he is now, and I was still trying to be polite to him?

But when you deal with enough inflammatory remarks and personal attacks, it just reaches a point where you know your own reason and civility will not be respected no matter what you post, and it feels so damned good to finally give them a taste of their own medicine.




In past discussions of inflammatory rhetoric from the liberal side, I've used words like partisan, inflammatory, mean-spirited, venomous, malicious, deliberately misrepresentative, disingenuous, etc., in an attempt to describe the behavior more specifically and objectively, without resorting to insults.

So forgive me for the rather satisfying use of the term cocksucker.
It's not the most descriptive or respectful word, but I felt the ongoing lack of civility, personal insults, and deliberate misrepresentation of the facts on the liberal side warranted a retaliatory use of the word.
The briefest reciprocation of what several liberals here do relentlessly.

But on further thought, I realize it does nothing to improve civility here, and I'll retire my use of the word.

Although it's frustrating to restrain myself, and try and adhere to a higher level of civility that several of the most vocal on the liberal side make no attempt to reciprocate.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
