Can't express yourself = I'm a Nazi
Disagree with me = your racist
Stand up for something you believe in = homophobe

Shared my personal example of family losing jobs
Shared my personal belief in our police officers.
Shared my personal belief in woman's rights

No. I think what I said holds up. It's my impression that fredtoast has been responding in kind, and not being the aggressor, in terms of rude language.

I won't say that there have not been exceptions to that pattern, but I think that is more true than false.

I will say that for anyone to undertake a close analysis, with reviews of a significant sample of all that's been posted recently, is no small task.

It would take more than just the few minutes that I just used to examine all of what Jake_Dragon is saying here. I just focused on the "Nazi."

This looks like it goes back to a recent conversation, where ray b said "Henry Ford was a full-on Nazi." But ray b wasn't calling Jake_Dragon a Nazi. (Unless Jake_Dragon thinks of himself as a reincarnation of Henry Ford.) That was followed by this:

but I do suspect it does hit too close to your [Jake_Dragon] belief system

btw I said it but did NOT make it up

and support it with many links

can you support your ideas with links to non nut sites ?


I don't think that ray b was out of line, here. He's not calling Jake_Dragon a "Nazi." He's obviously critical (in a negative way) about what he makes of Jake_Dragon's "belief system", but he's not calling Jake_Dragon a "Nazi."

If nothing else, this demonstrates how much effort it would take to examine all of the other "bullet points" in Jake_Dragon's remark.

About a dozen years ago, there was a rash of "I'm Leaving" threads, culminating in this epic thread, by the late, great Heyborn: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...160323-6-083283.html

Mike was a great guy who will be forever missed. Although he lived all the way across the country, we did a song together: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum6/HTML/113127.html



Ah...the good old days.

One camp clearly lies, the other doesn't.

Toast seems to think that calling everyone "uneducated", "rubes", "ignorant", "racist", "homophobic" and stupid, constitutes polite or humorous interaction.

He acts exactly like past ex members such as furgal and sourmash.





I predict that he is going last about as long as sourmash did...probably less.
Another "flash in the Leftist pan".

Selective memory.

Injection jabs forever. This is the goal. by sourmash




I don't blame randye for trying to pull a fast one here. Nobody liked sourpuss.

That thread shows sourmash, who was from Tennessee, acting exactly like fredtoast.

There is no comparison between sourpuss and fredtoast.

Sourpuss went out of his way to ostracize everybody in the forum... left, right, center... it didn't matter.

Fredtoast challenges the far right to back up their political claims, and he's totally civil about it until he's harassed. And even then, he's rather tame in his rebuttal.
