If you are that touchy, that you can't even stand to see a positive thread about Bernie, you might be in for a rough ride before the convention is over.

This thread was not bragging, taunting, or saying Bernie is going to win the election, just that they are going to fight for him to win California, and excited by the crowds and enthusiasm.

I understand you don't want to see these kinds of threads, but much worse threads show up on the front page all the time, from other groups, that I don't want to see. Like nasty hate threads from Hillary supporters aimed at Bernie or us, and hidden in the Hillary group. It's part of the package of this web site. You need to learn to deal with it.

I'm not at all in a tizzy over your post and I'm not being nasty.

But are you? I frequently fall prey to wild projections? Do you even know me? Actually you seem to be projecting a great deal of anger right now at me. You just don't want to admit that it's your own anger making you think I'm being nasty here. People who know me here, know when I'm being nasty...this is not it. When I get pissed at a Hill supporter being nasty, I can very easily dish it right back, but I try not to start it, and I often call people on things they've done that are too nasty and ask them to tone it down. Even Bernie supporters.

That's all I was doing here. I was trying to be funny, but I guess you were too upset to see it any way but the way you wanted to see it, because, well, I think you were already in a tizzy over the thread.

You don't have to engage in friendlier conversations that you just think are silly. But you also don't have to engage in venting in a thread like this. If it's not your thing, just stay out of it. I found this comment from you in another thread, and I think this explains your anger...but please don't try to project it on me. You have been building up a head of steam for some time.

One loon was referenced from here yesterday. Really crazy stuff going on with those zombies!

I've trashed BS and GDP and still can't entirely get away from the irrelevant ones.


Now, because my intention is not to get you more riled up, I'm going to end this conversation, and you can have the last word. Go ahead...I won't mind, because I think you have some steam to blow off.

Bye!

edited to correct my mistake. I thought this was in GD, but it's in multimedia, so it was not out of place at all. It's OK to post this in this forum. Sorry Squinch...you are just having a bad day aren't you?
