When you are wrong, for krist sake ADMIT it and welcome being wrong, it is how we learn!

[Eliot Rosewater]

For instance, you can call me every name in the book, like you can say

"You are a no good fucking right-wing, arrogant, conceited, know-it-all, blowhard, jackass and asshole"

And once I prove to you I am not a right-winger, you can then apologize and admit you are wrong about that ONE thing and we are good!

Or, if you have information you think is correct but it is proven it is not, or an opinion that flies in the face of everything known, just admit you are wrong, you will not BELIEVE how freeing it is and how much easier life is when you dont have to defend yourself constantly.

I get a lot of practice at this, with my loud mouth I am often offering opinions that are out there and often have to admit I am wrong or pull back.

We are liberals, we make mistakes, but admitting them is what makes us liberals.

1. I have no idea to whom you are speaking and why it matters whether or not people agree with you?

I see you posted more than once; both posts seem to be based on the idea that democrats are “wrong” and we “make mistakes” (what specifically are you referring to? You mentioned that there will be no “collusion” charge in the Russia case — I think most of us are aware of the legal issues)

Now you seem to be very concerned that everyone (?) on DU disagrees with you and/or is calling you names and looking up your post history (I guess?)?

Why does this matter? If someone insults you report it as the rules dictate. I don’t know why you need to post multiple times in a busy forum. Everyone who posts here has had to deal with someone saying something unpleasant in reply. Don’t we have things that are actually important to discuss?

2. Huh?

Why are you angry at me for posting an important article about what the charges CAN be and what they CANT be?

Why not make that criticism on that thread, this thread has to do with liberals acting like liberals.

I have a challenge for you BTW, find a bigger and more outspoken critic of Trump on this website.

I will wait.

Where did I mention post history? That is from left field.

You see even though you are going out of your way to criticize me, I am ready to accept that maybe I didnt need to do this thread, that yes the worst thing anyone can say about a true liberal like myself is something that ties them to righty, but that maybe I could have just let it go at that.

The truth is I have always wanted to do a thread about how much time people could save when talking about issues, not personal attacks, to admit when they are wrong. So I combined two things.

But I am willing to admit this thread was unnecessary or had I waited a week to do it , would make more sense and be less about me.

Can you admit your approach to me was not friendly, not meant to be helpful in anyway and was meant to be snarky?

3. I had a similar experience recently. I can only think some people are having a bad day.

Or perhaps they enjoy snark for snark’s sake?
