Gotcha jinx. Your probably in the majority with that opinion as well.
I've put them all on ignore. I haven't responded to anything since then.

Then either keep out of discussions of my posts or ignore them completely and stop with the childish sniping.

I enjoy making fun of your wang.

I know, right? Me too!

[lumberjim]

I would have bet money that flint's response to jinx's comment would be a misquote that read "I enjoy your wang"

I'm almost disappointed.

[Flint]

All that matters is that jinx is thinking about my wang.

The things you miss when you're not around for a couple of weeks - twenty-three pages of guerilla warfare! Who needs to read the politics forum when you can drop down here instead? You'll have to forgive me for not reading all 23 pages.

Since this is apparently the thread where we can blast anyone we want, I would like to take the opportunity to dump on urbane guerilla. As far as I am concerned, he is the nastiest poster here - far worse than Merc or anyone else folks are complaining about.

I mostly skip UG's posts, but every now and then I read one by accident. Blech! Can he get the dog treatment or whatever it is you all have decided to do to posters you consider evil?

Quite. The politics forum really shouldn't look like this, but it does.

[Pico and ME]

It frustrates the heck out of me that Redux is being lumped in the offending group when he certainly didn't start out that way and really did resist the urge to retaliate that way as well, until recently. The main offender, the one who was flinging poo even before Redux showed up, is Merc. AND that he DID carry that style over to other forums. (Remember the cunt calling episodes...anyone?) And Merc is still REFUSING to acknowledge that his posting style in the politics forum is distasteful and foul for the most part. If Merc didn't post in the politics forum the level of discourse would improve dramatically.

I agree. Redux's posts are usually informative and he cites real sources to back up his arguments - NOT the op ed junk that others subject us to ad nauseum. So, he's a liberal. BFD. If he is personally attacked he gives as good as he gets. I don't blame him. But he seldom starts the shit slinging on his own.

I am weary of all this complaining and name calling - especially on the part of people who wouldn't be caught dead in the politics forum, anyhow.

Tell me how this thread is an improvement over what has gone on before.

Old plans are grandfathered in. You can keep them to the extent that you could ever keep your plan, before or after this legislation - based on the contract between your employer and insurer. This legislation did not change that.

But it did discourage the continuing worsening of the new contracts, by saying that if you want to increase employees' costs, you have to give up your grandfathering status. So some employees may be able to keep the plan they like longer than they would have been able to before.

Pretty reasonable, respectful post.

Completely false. Read again for comprehension. That is the main reason why I posted the link.


Uh, no thats not how I read that at all. Unfortunately we really do not know how this is going to play out, but it is beginning to look like things will change based upon what most reasonable people would consider to be technicalities.

Different target, same dismissive, insulting style.

and his post (in the arizona thread, we are left to assume) is somehow worse than you taking it to another thread and chastising him about it there? ...in the thread that used to be about improving this situation, I might ad.

If none of you fuckers will ever take the goddamn high road, and let one go bye, this will never get any better. You're like 13 year old girls feuding over hurt feelings.

cunting cunts.
