I feel sorry for your husband's

[sic] Wink

My favorite thing about P&CE is when someone says something funny and irreverent, then several posters get all up in arms and say "are you serious?". It's hilarious. I realize that my mentioning it sounds alarmingly like the ML retort of "lighten up", but it's been happening a lot lately.

Re: I feel sorry for your husband's

  • Teehee!

    I know, I'm really liberal and all, but please bring some facts or something useful to the discussion.  Actually, the adamwife bashing is getting a little old.  We need to stop fueling her persecution complex!

  • The problem with people like adamwife is that different people reach their limit with her at different times.  So it seems like there's always someone annoyed with her.  However, if she were less inflammatory, it would be less of an issue.

    Excellent point.  I seem to have missed all the earlier conversations with her, so this week was really the first time I've interacted with her.  She's still something of a novelty to me.

    But I will try to cut back in participating in any threads involving her.  Smile

  • I'm not trying to censor you!  And no A06ers are a problem.  I'm talking about the people who just say, "fvck you!" to her.  Really?  Mature!

  • I don't agree with anything adamwife says and believe that she's a hamburger short of a Happy Meal, but I'm sick of the bashing.  She has her own belief system and no one is going to change it by insulting her.  Frankly, it makes the board look like a bunch of loony intolerants, which is ironic given the circumstances.
  • I think anyone responding with bashing is not helping their cause, on either side of the aisle.  Hopefully that will subside, esp if some of us start calling it out.   It's just not at all constructive.
  • I steer clear of those discussions since I get so riled up by the bashing from both sides.  It makes my head spin and I start jabbing at my poor keyboard like its a punching bag. 
  • I'm annoyed by the adamwife treatment too.  If this election taught us anything it's that she's definitely not a minority.

    It is upsetting, but bashing or nagging or needling will never change people.

    I agree. I've debated her a lot, but I think i've always been respectful. At least i have tried to.

  • I try to stay on the debate side of the line rather than the attack side. ?But, I'll admit, I'm an aggressive debater. ?I would say, I'm a master debater, too Wink ?I've given up on her, though. ?I try to debate, but when people won't respond to questions, I just get angry and give up before I get too nasty.

    It's just so hard not to be angry. ?I think people are frustrated with the anti-gay thing, and she presents a nice anonymous target that we can lash out at to relieve some anger that we can't in our everyday lives.?
