don’t suffer fools
I spend a certain amount of time surfing weblogs of friends like Biloxi and the Machete of Truth.
I love those guys, but they suffer fools. It is utterly impossible to have sane discourse in a room filled with barking moonbats. Why they do it I will never, ever know. Now, someone like Steve H, he jumps right up in their faces or cragerizes their comments, and it’s often quite amusing. Why Machete and Biloxi even entertain some of the moronic discussions they’re drawn into is beyond me. Like i’ve told them all a dozen times (and even had to remond ALGER recently: Don’t wrestle with swine. You get filthy, and the swine enjoy it.
Been there, done that.
Unfortunately when the moonbats know how to play the political system, they not only end up getting listened to, they influence real-world policy and legislation.
The case in point that is obvious to any sentient life form is the religious fundaments who have been forcing their idiocy down the throats of the educational system and society in general.
To them I have tilting at windmills for decades, in the hope that scientific reality might somehow penetrate their armor of idiocy.
Evolution and the geological time scale are reality, with massive amounts of proof to back that up.
“Just a theory?” Right! So’s electromagnetism. Does that mean we should not believe in light bulbs?
I’ve always like, Don’t argue with idiots they’ll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Og, Per your advice, I’ve stopped engaging the “Plagiarist of Headbutters” over on Machete’s blog. :)
Biloxi’s blog has been quiet recently, although he’s had some really great blog entries.
and Mr. Eaton above has a point, unfortunately moonbats need to be engaged to some degree because they affect the actions of politicians and many end up getting elected themselves.
Hell, here in S.F., I’ve been called a “Bigot” by a crowd of communist moonbats just for standing next to an American flag in public.
Point taken Ogster. Recently I’ve had no such contact from the moonbats, especially the one who spammed the crap out of my original blog. I do feel I must recognize their idiocy initially to point out it is just that,idiocy. When the conversation gets diverted and just eats up bandwidth, I now delete said offending commentary. My refusal to follow his rules might explain why my mot recent lefty visitor has stayed away from the commentary end. I do suffer fools at times though and should more closely follow your advice. In the end I guess it is just my nature. I guess I’m just nuts but at least I’m content being me.
Biloxi, your blog rocks. It’s irritating to go there and see that these asses have crapped on your living room carpet. I just want to tune them up.
Consider yourself the tuning fork if you may. You are always a welcome guest. I understand your point fully and actually entertain their diversion less with each incident. Your advice was not completely ignored.
I’ll keep visiting, Biloxi, as always. I just don’t coment because of the ignorance. I give your other commentors a lot of credit for their patience with the fools.
Yanno, Og, Dolly was really disappointed you didn’t step in and tune up the Hoopster. (BTW: did you see how Ragin’ Dave issued him an attitude adjustment?)
Anyway, I’m composing a “that’s the that about that” post to which I can then point when some human tune-out factor decides I’m gonna like what he’s selling.

It’s all about the mockery, man.
Seriously, when I started blogging, I would get all up in arms. But that’s what they want you to do. They want you to lose your temper. And while you’re fuming at words on a screen, they’re grabbing the K-Y and typing with one hand at a keyboard covered in Chee-tos while they giggle with their friends.
Like the whole chickenhawk thing. C’mon. Really. Has their ever been a more simplistic way of saying “I don’t have an argument, so I’m going to call you names and hope you lose your temper and forget that I don’t have any logic or facts on my side!” Nah. That and the fact that I have put up pictures of me in military uniform on my blog, so calling me a chickenhawk is going to do nothing but make me laugh my ass off at the putrid little worm.
You can’t argue with them, because they don’t have any valid arguments. Ignoring them is difficult, because they won’t go away on their own. You can’t listen to them, because all they do is lie. So you must ridicule them, because that is all they deserve.
BTW, remind me to add you to the blogroll. Tim handed over the gatekeys, so now I can start adding people I think should be on there. MUA HAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA!
Alger, in case you missed it, you were added a few days ago.
