The ultimate in arrogance IMHO. 
When those few of us actually provide the basis of our viewpoint with links, the usual suspects come out and in a few sentences...try to personally deride, denigrate and are told we're being 'too wordy.'
As if the important and complicated issues facing us in these trying times...can actually be crammed into 140 characters or less. 
It's always much easier to attack the poster, especially those who put effort into presenting their viewpoint/opinion by providing proof...than to spend a modicum of effort trying to refute those views with some type of factual support.
In Taltarzac's case, there are a handful that constantly exhibit their need to bully him on a personal scale...that 5th graders would even find cruel.
And then there are those that will just stand on the sidelines while this occurs, solely because they happen to share the politics of these bullies...and are loathe to criticize them.
Extremely sad...when one thinks about it.  |
Quite true.
Tal, I wouldn't let these bullies get to you---you know yourself, and you know what they are all about. And the last thing that you should do with bullies is let them know that they are getting to you. Either ignore them completely, or take them out to the school yard and give them a (figurative) black eye.
