THL–you are very likely correct in your estimation of our misanthropic guest.
“Ring Of fire”
“No Turning Japanese”
“China Girl”?
“One Night in Bangkok”
Can you guys STOP….I can do so many re-writes with all this!!
I have so much real writing and re-writing to do…aarrgggh, I have to get out of here.
That should be “latter.”
The big flaw in peoples thinking is that they think The What might be open to listening to your POV. He only listens to your POV so he can find something that contradicts it. He enjoys the attention he garners from his engaging in arguments and insults.
Even if he agreed with you he’d find something to cut and paste to state the contrary.
There are many people who will vehemently disagree with your POV yet will engage you in a conversation (heated as it may be) as to why they do and will listen to what you’ve said and perhaps change their opinion slightly or better understand why you feel as you do.
The What is not one of them. Which is why he never answers a question directed to him.
If you want an arguments for arguments sake because you’re bored or need to vent on someone then The What is your man.
Otherwise he’s just a loutish child who is best ignored lest he think he’s become relevant.
here=hear. Jesus Christo! I am typing too fast.
Benson, you just had to drag my name into this thread didn’t you 😉
While I am an unaffiliated voter, I refuse to join a party, I would say that my conservative views on the majority of issues make people place in the the “red state” category. Doesn’t matter to me, my views are mine and I’m sticking to them no matter what people call me.
Me and you Benson, me and you buddy.
Wasder, are you into “metal” grinding? Is that the business you brought to your parlor floor? Or is it “mental” grinding you’re into? If the later, I can identify.
I propose that we refer to exceptional waiters as “servologists.”
“I’ve almost gotten to the point of giving up on any kind of political or economic debate on Brownstoner.”
This is precisely my point. If this happens nationally we are screwed. I hope you don’t give up because you are pretty good at expressing your POV and its an important one on here. Otherwise we would be a serious left wing echo chamber. Don’t get me wrong I am pretty left of center overall but I appreciate the chance to mix it up and would rather here opposing viewpoints than a constant chorus of amens.
