And you could find them your own damned self, if you were truly interested. LOL. bettyellen Aug 2013 #67
I'm not the one making the accusation. Pab Sungenis Aug 2013 #74
No one here is actually required to find links for you. We are discussing something we have seen bettyellen Aug 2013 #79
And if you use what you think you've seen as an excuse to attack all men Pab Sungenis Aug 2013 #92

I was gonna ask the same thing hfojvt Aug 2013 #120
How many thousands do you want? Major Nikon Aug 2013 #141
You attack all men, is the accusation. Well, I know you don't. boston bean Aug 2013 #94

I rarely read gun threads, so I would refrain from telling people what goes on in gun threads.... bettyellen Aug 2013 #93
I think he is right on hfojvt Aug 2013 #111
wow, way to go, privileged white dude. we are so sorry that you need to be exposed to other bettyellen Aug 2013 #117

Sounds like Mason and West got trolled by the pros. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #25
except too many women haters give themselves away. they arent nearly as smart as bettyellen Aug 2013 #52
Except they're not particularly "women haters". They just say things to piss folks off. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #61
Trust me, there are too many of them in real life to think this is just bettyellen Aug 2013 #69
I never said there weren't such folks in real life. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #73
I can't see how someone who really, really thinks of women as equals... LisaLynne Aug 2013 #75
Then you've missed a generation or two. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #80
I've missed nothing. LisaLynne Aug 2013 #82
I've read the article, and I've done similar to what's in it. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #91
IF you did all that and you think it was just for fun, you are fooling yourself. LisaLynne Aug 2013 #95
I already have, and I am pleased. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #106
ha ha, first "you know people", now you are one of them... is that the fun "evil" trolling bettyellen Aug 2013 #104
I -was- one of them. Feels like a lifetime ago, though it was only a few years. n/t Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #115
Not beating their female partners is a tellingly low standard. I'm guessing the cars are nice and bettyellen Aug 2013 #83
Yeah, and I think the age thing may be coming into play here. LisaLynne Aug 2013 #85
Exactly- and any troll that picks on women as a specialty does have an axe to grind.... bettyellen Aug 2013 #90
And a nice little shield to hide behind. LisaLynne Aug 2013 #97
I've met a few too. And they weren't the angels you describe. And they are asses in bettyellen Aug 2013 #78
Oh, assholes are assholes, no doubt there. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #81
what you don't get is that a decent percentage of those acting hateful on the net really are. bettyellen Aug 2013 #86
I don't "Excuse" anything. I understand it. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #102
why do you refer to "them" when you admit here, it is you too? bettyellen Aug 2013 #105
I retired, so to speak. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #108
Out of your depth here too. Goodbye and very good riddance. bettyellen Aug 2013 #110
Hardly. This is a kiddie pool in comparison. Decoy of Fenris Aug 2013 #114
In this subthread your descriptions of LULZers align with many traits of sociopaths. Gormy Cuss Aug 2013 #138
