The remaining mentions of hitler were like yourself: people complaining that his name was mentioned.

Of course. I wanted to give my two cents and I did. I personally am annoyed with how this election cycle has gone on. I find it unproductive. You know Jiml you bring up a good point.
I have enough anxiety as it is.
I figure a break from all the politics would do me good.sigpic

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostAfterwards, I have to go back and uncheck all this junk...
Emphasis is mine unless stated otherwise:
1: One Bad Pig - and yes I mention Hitler. I do see a parallel in how the TWEB Trump chorus defends trump and the mechanisms that allowed Hitler to rise to power. But I am referring to a group dynamic, which is bigger than any one individual and often not characteristic of the actual beliefs of any one person in the group. That is the nature of group dynamics - they often exaggerate small issues into big ones. And in fact me raising issues like this comes from my belief that the individuals are of high moral character and if they can see the effect of the group dynamic they will individually realize that is not who they want to be.
2: first floor - I do lament the loss of humanity that I see coming out of supporting Trump. Not an attack on any individual.
3: Cow poke - simply stating a fact about the history of a phrase's use as a racist tack. It's a comment about trump, not CP, not you.
4: Seer: Not sure how hoping someone can understand a historical difference amounts to ad hominem. This one skirts ad hominem though I'll give you that. But it is not to you.
5: MM: MM is always using ad hominem against everyone. Perhaps I can do better when speaking to him - still a work in progress there. But not against you.
6: MM: MM justifying Trumps twitter attacks on the squad - can we get real here?
7: MM: Just a statement of facts Teal - not an attack on MM. Ad hominem means I'm attacking the person (MM). In this post I am offering a criticism of the idea that it is unamerican to be crticial of America. That is laugable. but nowhere in that post is there ad hominem to MM or to you.
8,9: MM: he continues to inanely just deny what is true. I called him on it. And I did insinuate there was an intelligence issue - again working on it with MM - and it had nothing to do with you. And you know as well as I do that MM trolls and tries to provoke people into responding harshly. So give me some time to figure out how not to give him the pleasure he desires.
10: MM again. So - are you some relation to MM that you would be offended by my counter attacks and parries with him? It's not as if the fellow is docile and nice.
11: Seer - you highlighted a statement of fact about the use of the phrase 'go back where you came from'. That is not ad hom, and is not directed at you.
You are comparing me, personally, to a German of the 1930's - IF I'm charitable. The truth is much nastier - why you actually can't figure out how that would PISS ME OFF I'll never know.
13,14: responses to derogatory comments about me by MM, but no ad hominem to MM himself. Just a discussion of how Trump is a master of chaos and is pushing both left and right to extremes.
15: to Pix: I said she was duped - so I can see how you might see that as ad hominem - so I apologize to pix. The second highlighted portion simply an appeal to the Trump Defense Chorus about the dangers of encouraging the kind of mob hatred he enjoyed in that NC rally - which was being vigorously defended. Seriously - you think that is some sort of ad hominem to pix?
That sort of mob chanting expressing hate IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Why are you complaining about that?
16: One bad Pig: This response is specifically to the Group mentality of Trump defense found here. It is an appeal to conscience. I don't think I have ever called an appeal to conscience ad hominem. Are you saying you don't see a difference between 'Do you understand that what you are doing is wrong?' and 'you are an evil scumbag that is doing wrong!'. I would not call the first ad hominem, but I would call the second ad hominem.
17: MM - Good grief - this is a mirrored response to an attack by MM.
18: One bad pig: I am back on the group dynamic of Trump Defense found here on TWEB. One Bad Pig is not by any means the biggest participant there. I don't see anything false or directed at any specific individuals there - certainly not you. OBP is overreacting and did not understand the context of my post on 1943 Berlin, and he took personally comments directed at the group dynamic. While he is slamming me, I do not slam him back directly. The context of my Berlin domment is that Trumps "Go back where you came from" could only serve as political commentary in the sort of facist state that was there at that time. In our society it is racist anti immigrant belligerence.
19: No clue why that is in the list.
20: Teal (so far 2 out of 20 was directed at you). You are slamming on me pretty hard Teal. I am offering a defense against your accusations. Am I not allowed to do that? You highlighted my comment about the Trump Defense Chorus always defending Trump. Can you show me a thread or series of posts where they were NOT defending Trump? If not, would my comment not simply be a statement of fact?
21: Teal - again all over me and again I am offering my rebuttal to you attack. Again - am I not allowed to defend myself against attack. You highlight my lance armstrong analogy. Why? My point is that the bad in trump outweighs the good. Lance is a very good analogy for that situation, and if the Trump Defense Chorus where aligned with Lance rather than Trump, my analogous description is exactly what they have done here for the last 3 years regarding Trump.
22: NorrinRadd: A response to a direct and snide attack on me. But in his attack he's like completely off in left field in terms of creating a caricature of the actual situation. So you would fault me and call ad hominem comparing his caricature to a badly set up system of equations? Really?
23,24: Pix - a response to two particulary out in left field response. Tell her she is out in left field is not ad hominem. Telling her she is stupid and out in left field would be. The second highlighted portion is just a comment on why Trump whipping a mod into a hate filled chant is a bad idea. That is not ad hominem Teal.
25: teal - well you managed to find 23 of my posts that are responses to 25 direct attacks on me by 7 different people. A few I would agree had fairly tame (compared to what they were responding to) ad hom in them. The majority are not ad hom at all. Most of the ones you seem most offended by are nothing more than expressions of my very real concern for Good people that I believe are being led down the primrose path by a very bad man. I guess I should just stop caring?
Yes, can and did. Technically, more of an ad hom but sufficient for the purpose.
YOU accused and implied NASTY things about EVERYONE that supports Trump in any way whatsoever - documented above.
YOU aren't innocent. You can stop playing now.
YOU aren't the victim just because people won't let you keep wounding them. When you torment the dog, you deserve the bite.
GROW UP. You cannot call, wheedle or imply nasty things about others without consequence.

Originally posted by TheWall View PostI have had enough with people throwing out Hitler comparisons. What has it produced? More importantly Hitler made himself supreme chancellor and murdered his political opponents as well as those he hated in the name of the name of nazism. It is quite frankly lazy.
I got plenty of problems with trump. He is egotistical and brash. He has a bad habit of open mouth insert foot. Last I checked he isn't advocating the supremacy of arians.
I'm always still in trouble again
