Maybe it's just me but without this site I could go bonkers. Hereabouts, you can't discuss politics. You are either dealing with a bitter partisan or just as bitter an apathy....no apparent middle ground.
An unrepentant LIBRANO just down the road agrees.....in fact we went to the polls together. He can't figure out why I never have a lawn sign but then shrugged when I pointed out the dearth of such in these parts.
Sounds like projection from a confirmed partisan hack.
Sounds like an extraordinary debater.
I'm not the guy with the lawn sign or that fool plucking them off peoples lawns.
I was commenting on voter apathy.....which I interpret as abstention.
You are not apathetic......just pathetic.
And yet, your "interpretation" just doesn't wash. And what the sweet heck does, "I was commenting on voter apathy.....which I interpret as abstention" mean? Perhaps voter apathy RESULTS in abstentation, but as per usual you were trying to apear marginally intelligent and came off as a ignorant dolt. Besides, why not comment on the knowledgeable analysis that suggested many voters saw this election as a "done deal" and felt their vote wasn't needed or that significant numbers often cast ballots when the want a government out (which they didn't this time). This has nothing to do with a lack of interest.

I imagine people just aren't happy with either choice.
Huh? What choice? Come on, I know politics is difficult for you, but at least show up with something of substance.
Oh...and how on earth did you arrive at this "learned" opinion?

I'm still waiting for you debate me on Ontario politics - come on, chicken, let's see that peon brain at work.
We're you not listening?!
Take this shit to the flaming dumpster. This no longer has anything to do with the stupid election.

Be careful. I don't comment on your posts (even the ones here that seem remarkably similar to the one's you're condemning), so i'm interested about why I'm the only one being chastised.

I don't believe I was talking to you . I'm gonna give you a heads up. If you continue with the personal attacks towards me I will report you. I'm tired and not in the mood for you.

Then "ignore" me. I asked a simple question, but evidently I intimidate you too much. So much in fact, that in typical RUEZ suck fashion, you're now threatening with mod action (again, weren't you the guy championing freedom of speech and anti-censorship?).
This is nothing more than an act of an intellectual coward - i'm on topic...if you don't like the adversarial nature of politics, then stay out of the threads (and DON'T start fights that you can't finish).

You started this, projection boy. Each and every time you try and start a pissing match with me, you'll be the one getting wet. You're nothing and if you think i'll stand by and let you take runs at me, you're sorely mistaken.
Again, for anyone keeping score, I tried to ask a salient question about the election and all i receive is dimestore psychology from the uneducated. Pathetic.

Whatev dude, My comment tonight wasn't directed at you and you decided to insult me anyway. I'm done with you on here. As I've said, any further personal attacks towards me will cause me to report you. Peace out dood.
Wow RUEZ, you are TOTALLY AGAINST free speech, aren't you? I recall you having this anti-censorship signature, and how trying to use censorship to silence others was actually a sign of weakness in the censor.
What happened to that signature? Because you're worse than Pig-Vomit on the dump-button these days.

Do you have any proof of that?
Yes, your own admissions that you're going to report this post, that post and then, in rather stunningly stupid fashion, your own posts. That's being worse than Pig-Vomit on the dump-button.
You're all about the censorship now. It's sad. Do you have any feelings about your recent change of heart over censorship that you want to share? Because I want to hear it RUEZ, if only to help you heal.

I will not tolerate personal attacks from you two. End of story.

Which is which?
RUEZ RUEZ:

There's a lot going on in this sentence RUEZ. Firstly, you're saying you won't tolerate personal attacks from "you two". Does that mean you will tolerate personal attacks from others? And if you will tolerate personal attacks from others, why do you advertise that you're willing to discriminate against me? Keeping that in mind, you also have the word "from" prominently featured. Will you tolerate your own attacks against others? Twice in one post I counted you calling Mustang1 "Dude" or "Dood". Did you report your own attacks against yourself? Nope. That's good evidence that really what you're doing is using the report feature to compensate getting into pissing matches you're incapable of getting out of.
Secondly, what ISN'T in your post is any sort of denial that you've been hard on the ol' censorship button. Hey, that hasn't been anywhere. You've asked for proof, and received it, so I take that to mean that both you and I are in agreement that you're the new Pig-Vomit of the board and you use the report-feature not to increase the goodness of the board, but as your own personal button-o-vengeance.
Thirdly, you've never yet addressed your complete flip-flop on the censorship issue. The ironic thing is that I'm highlighting your old signature attacking censors as weak-minded to show that you are doing precisely that with censorship.
God, that truly was a very busy sentence you wrote, wasn't it? Do you feel tired?
As someone opening this topic to read the opinions on the Header, (unlike those posting) I have to ask. Is this thread about the aftermath of the Ont. election anymore? Or is this a thread on freedom of speech? If it has shifted please kindly open an other thread.
As I said, this has the potential to be a good point for a forum on the important issue of voter apathy. Instead it is being altered to a steady stream of BS.
