U.S. citizen arrested under state's new anti-illegal immigrant law, Hispanic advocate says

I never said I was infallible, so labouring under that impression is rather silly IMO. And as for "getting my way" what are we even talking about here? Dev, for one hasn't participated even remotely on-topic (even with the tangents we've spun off to) for pages now; and I thought keeping things on some sort of track was a good idea. That last comment wasn't connected to anything I really said - other than that this thread has turned pretty stale. Seizing on something that innocuous as a pretext for a direct personal insult seems rather cheap to me.

But silly me - I guess you're all getting something out of this "discussion".

it's about you having your way and your obsessive desire to always be right. the topic can wander if you lead it there, but when it gets too hot you throw a fit and demand it get back on topic - or be locked. but whatever dude, have fun talking with yourself.

Yeah, once #6 gets told off by someone, he whines to close it. It's happened 3x now. Yet, he continually tells me/you/GEG that we are OT.

I suggest you look in the mirror #6 - you blame me for asking if you are a pu$$y or cockroach, yet YOU POSTED THOSE PICS, not me.

judging much?

PS: all these were in the last 2 pages - you know when I was so incredibly OT...

My point about the mods stepping was not in relation to her but along the lines that this discussion has ceased to be of any useful purpose as its not even about the general subject anymore - just personal mudslinging and backbiting.

I don't deny saying it - and even despite the fact that the thread it came from was rather heated all around - I won't justify it either. However I also think dispensing with the entire context of the thread that its from - as though you're somehow entirely blameless in your conduct is a bit rich IMO.

BTW - I also remember apologising to you for that comment some time ago. I guess that really counted for nothing, except as a tool for you to rub my nose in it whenever you like. Perhaps I should start keeping track of all your objectionable postings so I can do likewise. I won't BTW - but I think as usual that says more about you than it does about me.

Not really I just chose not to indulge myself in your continued condescension, which you adopted with my posts since I first started posting in this thread. As I said progress was made since then - but you guys seem to prefer the personal to the topic at hand. As I said - this really should be closed at this point. And now that Marc has come to squat over things I'd say that's really the death knell.

I think with that post you've hit something of a low in this thread. As I said it speaks volumes to you and your posting style and your general attitude. Again time for a line to be drawn under this thread (call that whining if you wish)but if you feel you can only 'win' in this discussion by calling me a pu$$y or a cockroach, well you're in it for different reasons than most of us.

well dev, they are not judgements, all you've done in this topic is write in a condescending way, 1 liners that don't say anything.. just teasing #6 and whoever doesn't agree with you, charles, geg or natty..

Perhaps I simply don't see the point in pursuing a discussion when it has clearly gone so far off the rails.

As far as that goes - and indeed as LAL pointed out - we regained composure briefly, only for you lot to go completely back and pile onto PH last night. As misunderstandings go that seems a bit OTT to me, but again just IMO.

And as for pictures and videos - they were a general comment on the direction of the thread, I didn't apply them as an explicit label to or anyone else.

Again - this is all rather meaningless as I'm still asking myself what is the purpose of furthering this discussion. Why am I still posting will likely be the inevitable response - well for one thing I'm hoping that GEG will elaborate on the question I asked earlier, or not (as I said I was perfectly happy to agree to disagree). Still - I am wondering what you guys are getting out of this, if you are no longer interested in actually discussing any of the issues raised in the thread. It seems to me that you equate 'winning' with continued personal attacks, derisiveness and condescension. Again, as I said, that speaks to your motivations rather more clearly than it does to mine.

You simply can't stop. Admit it. You must have that last word, and pile on any additional insults you can think of.

None of 'us' said anything about 'winning', yet you & PH brought it up. Funny.

Look up the definition of judgement & re-read those posts.
