Self Reflections During a Well Deserved Time Out

Not Me: Slow down Cowboy. As they said at /.

Me: You’re right.

I’m afraid I don’t suffer idiots kindly.

But I could have used more than two words. that would have probably earned me a bojo for sure.

That’s the comment that earned me a well deserved TO.

There were two others that I won’t quote here because I am proud of neither. Suffice it to say that they were the reason for the above comments. But this is the one that caused the time out. Flagged by at least two Kossacks that had more than likely already flagged the two other comments. They had reached hidden status quiet sometime before this.

But as I said before, and in the title the TO was well deserved. I earned it on my own and I will not lay the blame for it anywhere but on myself.

I may owe those two Kossacks a great big thank you in fact.

I was able to go back to doing what I came here for several years ago. I couldn’t comment. I couldn’t rec diaries or comments. I couldn’t add my two cents to anything. Mostly I couldn’t respond to what I now see as provocation. My blood pressure had to have been considerably less than before.

At one time I was of the opinion that those HRC supporters that inevitably ended up in the comment section of a diary written by a Bernie supporter just may be interested in real debate. I eventually came to understand they had no such desire. They were there for one reason only, for the pie. There was no reasoning with these people, so I was more than happy to load up and fire away.

Over the past few days having to look in from the outside, I have decided to take Raggedy Ann’s advice and just not engage these people. If I do I will follow the example set by One Pissed Off Liberal. I will not let them goad me into another response that may lead to another TO.

I may or may not add to the comments below. I may respond, or not.

You see, I don’t think you’re the idiots you portray. I think you’re antagonists. I think you realize the weakness of the person you profess to support. In trying to compensate for that weakness, you feel you need to make her opponent even weaker then her. Since you have no power to do this in ay meaningful way, you try to denigrate and trivialize the opponents supporters.

I’ll have no more of it.

I support Bernie Sanders because:

I don’t support Hillary because:

I support Bernie because:

I don’t support Hillary because:

I support Bernie because:

I don’t support Hillary because:

I support Bernie because:

I don’t support Hillary because:

BFF’s?

I support Bernie Sanders because I’ve heard him virtually every Friday at noon take calls from everyday people with problems and have heard the compassion in his voice and ways that those problems could be overcome.

I could give any number of reasons that I don’t support Hillary. UAMF. Speeches to TBTF. For the TPP. For KXL. For Fracking. There’s lots of reasons I don’t support Hillary.

I support Bernie.

Enough. Said.
