And you thought it was all me.

Published on November 16, 2004 By drmiler In Politics

I was willing to concede that the arguement between T Bone and I might have been more my fault than anyone elses. But then this comes along. Seems like if you call him on something he gets nasty and threatens to black list you. In the following conversation he accuses LW of the same things he accused me of.
I see *nothing* that LW wrote that is a personal attack. Like me all that was done is that a general observation was made about his article and he considers that a personal attack. And just anFYI in our arguement, I did not call him any names until he snapped at me. Then I retailiated. One more thing. I was told that it wasn't fair to say something and not let T bone reply. He black lists me, and says things about me without letting me reply. So how is it unfair when I do the same to him?

is there anything else you care about T-bone?

(just curious)

I mean, we all have our pet causes...but my eyes begin to glaze over watching you repeat yourself again and again and again

His reply.

litlle_whip, I am going to give you the same warning I have given others. If you want to personally attack me in your blog site that is one thing as I will just stop going there. If you think you are going to come into my blog and presume to tell me what to write, how to write it, or how often I should write on any particular subject, you have another thing coming. I do not go into your blog and arrogantly presume to tell you how many times you should write on any particular subject. Perhaps what really bothers you is the fact that I am able to discredit all the myths you hold so dear to your heart? If you have something constructive to say, you are welcome. If you are going to come here to try and get me to stop talking about any particular issue then forget it. It just so happens that all three articles are distinctly different. I have written about a variety of subjects..not that it is any of your concern. Perhaps if you actually READ them you would know that before posting your meaningless and empty complaints. If you don't like my articles then don't read them or comment on them. Unlike you, I do not personally attack you or complain about how many times you write on any particular subject. I may argue with the assertions within your articles but I don't tell you when, what, or how often to say it. This is typical of someone who does not LIKE what a person is saying nor can you argue the merits of what these articles present outside of tired political soundbites. All you can do is try to intimidate people into silence...well, that doesn't work with me. Remember your article you posted about how the left should not personally attack the right? Perhaps you should apply some of your moral double-standards to yourself.

To be honest. I have no idea what happened between the two of them. However, by just looking at the two posts you put out there. T_Bone4Justice either mistaken little_whip as someone else or he completely zoomed out. There was no personal attack in that by little_whip. Personal attacks are like: calling someone a liar or a moron. Assasination of personal characters. little_whip didn't do that in the post. T-Bone4Justice, you completely overreacted.

I will give this one to you drmiler. Seems he took the comment in the wrong way.

I would never assume that it was all you or all him. Afterall, from my experience it takes two to argue (or was that tango?). Hopefully you can both put this behind and move on from there, as others who have had disputes here in the past have done.

It is a shame. He seems to be suffering post election stress syndrome. So few of the Liberals are left to read as they go off the deep end, like WF did, or blacklist you, Like Myrr did. T_bone seemed liberal, but at least willing to discuss the issues. Until now tho. Guess we are going to have to post some liberal blogs so we can debate them without fear of deletion or blacklisting. Hmmmm, maybe I will start!

...ah, give it a rest, guys. TBone has contributed some of the most factual and articulate articles seen here. It's obvious he spends a lot of time and effort on his work. Even if one does not agree with the conclusions he draws, it would be nice to see a bit more encouragement for our fellow bloggers who work as hard at their craft as he.

I can certainly understand TBone feeling attacked simply because of his choice of topics as opposed to someone providing intelligent debate. Perhaps he's not willing to entertain that type of behaviour any longer. I can also understand where Little Whip is coming from, as she may be genuinely curious that TBone hasn't branched out, but Iraq and homosexuality are topics as deep as they are broad, it's actually refreshing, to me, to see someone go so in-depth. It certainly is a major contribution to these forums to have such original content present here. Ditto for Myrrander.

Someone who relies on factual proofs and is articulate in his expression should certainly understand what a "personal attack" is. Thus, it is more confusing for him to charaterized little_whip in that manner. If you only look at the post DrMiler has pasted, "factual" and "articulate" are not the words to describe it.

I'm sorry, are you saying that Drmiller has the better posts because he doesn't rely on facts and is inarticulate? If I were drmiller, I might be insulted, but then again, I think I've insulted him in the past for incorrect use of the possesive form.
