2. That was ONCE. I swear it!

Although, it was in R/T, so I think I'm going to "progressive transgressions hell" for a time.

6. If I were inclined to do that, I'd be posting flamebait daily.

:shrug:

But yeah, lots of shit-stirrers around here at times.

10. I don't post flamebait,

I do tend to get more opinionated when I'm bored, so I'm more inclined to respond to something that I disagree with, but I never start a thread or comment just to piss people off.

25. Lol ~ so is another debating technique that goes like....

Argument: There is no evidence to support that assertion because (A, B, C, and D)

Counter-argument: Troll!

Alternative counter-argument: Paid shill!

This technique is rampant on certain threads in GD and on nearly every thread in the dungeon.

21. No. Just accidentally, I mentioned a certain NYC chain restaurant,

Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 07:35 AM by Radio_Lady

but that hardly counts. I did find out a few days ago that September 11th discussion is banned from the GD forum. It goes on the Sept. 11 forum, which I did not know even existed.

I do like controversial subjects, and from my call-in radio experience, many things you couldn't even imagine would draw verbal or written fire from listeners.

Oh, well -- I still love radio, the Internet, and DU for all of its positives. If that ever changes for me, I will exit gracefully, stage LEFT!!

In peace,

22. I post with my opinions.

Some people will find it insightful. Many who respond post items of insightfulness.

And some others will think it's empty flamebait. Whatever. I only speak my mind. I have no inherantly bad motives.

And, yes, occasionally I don't make the context clear enough - usually a lapse in my part due to being overwrought with needless emotion. In the event of a miscommunication on my part, I do go back and clarify it. To not do so only makes matters worse. Especially for me!
