t.j. booker 213 Posted July 18 My fellow Geeks. When I saw Mike’s warning this week I got to thinking about what we could all do lower the temperature around here. While there are many areas for improvement, like no more personal attacks and threats of violence, I thought a simple quick win would be kinder emoji usage. Over the last few years I’ve noticed some mean spirited and irresponsible use of emojis, like sobby sad face emoji, confusedy face emoji, and sarcastic use of laughy faced emoji, like the way Gloria laughed when I caught her in bed the first time with Lamar. It is unkind. It is hurtful. And it has to stop. My modest proposal is for kinder, gentler, and more respectful emoji usage. So the next time you’re going to put a confusedy face or sobby sadface on a fellow Geek’s post, as yourself: How would this make TJ Booker feel? Then “turn that frown upside down” and click the smiley happedy face or the hearty likeface emoji instead.

The Real timschochet 4,509 Posted July 18 Today I made some general comments, not insulting, not directed at anyone here. One guy called me a pr!ck, another called me an a$$hole. The other day I expressed sympathy to Trump supporters after their man was almost killed, and I was told to Fock off and that I was personally responsible. if you guys want to lower the temperature then lower it already. Stop attacking people personally. Stop with the personal insults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them spend most of their time doling out personal insults like yourself. It is YOU who should spend some time being self-aware. As I wrote all you do is insult people. You never offer a real argument or even a real thought. I have no idea why you contribute to this forum. You don’t even bother to troll wittily- all you do is spend time calling people dumb names. No idea why that interests you. I guarantee you it doesn’t interest anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you won't because you don't debate people. You throw wild ass claims out there as if they are facts and then just argue that everyone that disagrees with you is wrong. Just as you've been proven to be a fool regarding the MSM over and over. You've done this crap on two forums for over a decade. No one liked you at FBG and they don't like you here. Your life literally depends on arguing politics on the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,527 Posted July 18 Most insults are over politics. It used to not be this bad because 99% of people here held similar core beliefs, and Cons and Libs weren’t that far away. You can thank the left for going full tilt libtard and pushing the mainstream center way too far left. It would help tremendously if they could be reeled in. Society overall would be better for it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
