History of Feminism
In reply to the discussion: This will probably go poorly in gd but I needed to say this [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)and dont me drawn. generally i will have a main point.
like, redefining violence. people want be to ban, make illegal, find a remedy, talk about consensual or forced.... but, not the definition of violence. that was the only point i had in that thread.
say what you have to say... then do not be drawn. walk from the thread. i will generally give on allowance that a person needs clarification, or more effort in post. if their reply shows it is a game, i no longer reply. now, there are some i know that reply to me, that it is a total waste and just a game. i rarely even reply to those people.
first, if drawn it takes away from the original power of the first statement. which is what is important to me. and what i want to be heard on....
also, those lurking or with google search do not have to participate in a convoluted, circular discussion. taking them from the very important point i was making.
and sometimes i say fuck it, participate. and always say... not again. lol
another thing i do always. these posters i know so well. when starting their reply, it is a big fat made up story, like
so, you say you want to ban porn....
wtf? no i didnt. nowhere does it say, i said that.
and then their reply is ten paragraphs long. well know, that first sentence had me stop reading. right there. start a post with a lie, the person does not get the consideration of my time to read all they wrote. i am done with the post immediately. THAT, i do, almost all the time. i literally cannot get myself to read beyond one line that starts with a lie.
