For the record I was definitely commenting on Huskers posting style. I think Husker often has wonderful points but when he starts with the swearing and insults it's like arguing with a child. I don't argue with children so my point was to let him know he sounds like a pouty child. He obviously doesn't see it and LL can defend it until the end of days but just once I'd like to see him argue like an adult.
If LL were to start banning people over posting style we would lose more than just Husker.
I didn't say anything about banning anyone. Not sure where you got that from.

Or, here's a thought--you could actually contribute something to the thread rather than just attack other posters.
Attack? Really Husker if that was an attack you surely should look at what you say to others...lol

His opinion IS his reality as is yours. I just hate to see him ruin every good argument he has by being rude and intimidating rather than giving a valid point of view in a thoughtful manner. If he can tell others their arguments are stupid then I am allowed to tell him his posts are juvenile.
Which is NOT what I did in the post you responded to. You can't even keep track of the nonsense you post.
No you just used vulgar language to make a point. It kind of made me discount your whole argument. Being as smart as you are you'd think you could be just a little more imaginative than just vulgarity and insults.

Exactly.
And sometimes they stay on topic & are pleasant & sometimes they devolve into name-calling and insults.

Of course we won't. You have shown you have no interest in doing so. You can't even comment on the subject of any posts.

Then why did you bring LL into it at all?
LL brought herself into it because she said I was attacking him. I was telling the truth about what he was posting. She calls it an attack but I call it my opinion about how he takes over a thread.

I haven't "taken over" anything. Many other posters have posted on here. Heck on this page, you probably have as many or more than I do.

That's my opinion Husker. Every discussion I'd like to join you start swearing and saying some pretty nasty things. Who wants to discuss anything when that happens? Could you just once try having a discussion without the swearing and rude stuff. It seems you go out of your way to use derogatory and demeaning words to describe women. Someone as intelligent as you fancy yourself can certainly have a CIVIL conversation.

Plenty of people were discussing the topic until you took the thread over and went off the rails. If you don't want to discuss--then don't.

"I didn't say "require". I said if they WANT to and can afford it, it's not my business. Until that point, however, they need to use whichever restroom jives with their "equipment"." - huskerbb
And whom should be checking to make sure that that happens? A genetically male person with a penis, that identifies as female and dresses as a female may look sufficiently female when clothed and made up to pass as a female. A genetically female person with a vagina that identifies as male may look sufficiently male when dressed and coiffed to pass as a male.
I suppose we could have Gattica-like DNA scanners at all restroom doors to make sure only the appropriate male or female DNA is allowed in.

Hopefully they would have the decency to police themselves--you know, pretty much like EVERYONE ELSE does now. Perhaps I'm giving them way too much credit.

Again, mentally fvcked in the head people pretend to be things they are not all the time.
Burying someone in full Napoleonic era military dress because they think they are Napoleon would be just as ridiculous as this.
Wow just wow... Every time i think you've reached the pinnacle of ******** I realize you just don't know how to express yourself any other way.
You're just cranky because you know I'm right and have no cogent arguments to make.
Haha...I'm not cranky and I know better than to argue with you. I just find it funny that you think you're so smart but you can't have a discussion without swearing and ridiculing.Most grownups know that insults and bad language do not make for a good argument.
Since this argument is back around, shall we once again point out the irony and hypocrisy? Is it only swearing (and ridiculing) when you change the letter so they don't get starred out?
It's not so much about defending Husker (he's a big boy), as disliking hypocrisy.

"Or, here's a thought--you could actually contribute something to the thread rather than just attack other posters." - huskerbb
So, as long as a member contributes to a thread, it's o.k. to attack posters? That makes sense, and clears up a few things.
Except he didn't attack anyone on this board in this thread until he was attacked. Your high horse needs some air.
But his posting history, as we all know, is another matter altogether.
flan
So what? That does not excuse any of you for this thread. And YOUR posting history is not exactly all nice and pristine either. What does that have to do with anything here? Just because you don't like his blunt opinions does not mean that it gives you license to attack him. You talk about lazy, but the only lazy ones I see are the ones who can't be bothered to intelligently attack his opinions, so you start attacking him instead. And you think it's OK simply because you don't like the way he posts. People call him childish while being childish. It's ridiculous. Bitch, bitch, moan, moan, while you are doing the EXACT same thing and don't see it.

Tiny Dancer has said nothing about husker that hasn't been said before. At least Richard could argue endlessly without resorting to insults.

I actually agree with Husker on a lot and all I said about Husker is that he can't post without swearing and ridiculing. It's the truth and there is nothing wrong with asking him to tone it down. I can see from some other taglines that I'm not the only one who finds what he posts crude and juvenile.

The word was in all stars. Which means it could be any word. It was a way of calling attention to the fact that he add's a lot of starred words (where there can be no doubt about what he said) to his posts.
