Why do you think those of a certain faction on Askville seem to be answering all of my questions: some angry or goading?

Similar questions: faction Askville answering questions angry goading.

It's the way you phrase your questions--antagonistic and goading. You aren't asking questions to get others to offer opinions in the spirit of exchanging ideas. You ask questions to validate your opinions and to ridicule others.

Also, it's your right to post as many questions as you wish, but you have been dominating this site since you arrived and, eventually, people will start ignoring you because you don't really want honest dialogue. The " What do you think? " seems condescending.

I don't speak for a faction, I speak only for myself. I consider myself a free-thinker and a realistic. I examine my beliefs and speak in support of them.

I am pleased to one of the millions of people who is able to think and analyze for myself. Does that make me part of a faction? I don't think so.

Describing free thinkers as "angry" or "goading" is rather belligerent of you. I prefer to say that I have my opinions and am not afraid to speak them.

I see you getting answers from both sides of the political spectrum these days,at first at least with me you came across as rather abrasive and abrupt but we may have gotten off on the wrong foot,and I told you about myself I am a Canadian a truck driver,my political views are NDP,that is new democratic party, and I stand on the left and lean right,and I am very much for the working man,that means the middle class and the poor,and one more thing I totally believe the large compan ies and the rich DO NOT pay their fare share in taxes in both our countries,no matter how many 4 year old links people can throw at me that proves other wise.

Thank you for the update. Below is a copy of a newer update. Enjoyhttp://mjperry.blogspot.com/2008/08/tax-facts-of-day.html Katzinjammer 6 months ago html.

Maybe you're just projecting. I know that you've accused me of being angry when I'm not. If you haven't spent a lot of time on the internet, you might not be used to people who are straightforward in expressing their views.

But even if you are encountering angry replies? So what? We already have spelling and grammar police, political correctness squads, and obscenity filters.So you really want to start restricting what sorts of emotions people are allowed to feel?

Isn't it easier to just police yourself? Also, as for the same people answering, this is a really small community. You're going to see the same faces all the time.

It's one thing I like about Askville - we really get to know one another because we're so few.

There were times when you were very caustic with me. But, if you can reserve your abuse for your pillow, (We'll) all listen to you. You might start enjoying this banter.It's great - and fun, too.

I think you project. But I already said that.

Never heard that before. What does that mean? Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

It means that you project your own caustic behavior on others. Take this conversation, for example. You ask a question, and I provide a polite answer in the spirit of helpfulness.

What do you come back with? "There were times when you were very caustic with me. "That response is what could be considered caustic.As could this:"But, if you can reserve your abuse for your pillow, (We'll) all listen to you.

"So you take a behavior that you yourself exhibit on a frequent basis, and attribute it to others. That is projection. Quite a few members have already pointed this out to you, and suggested that you tone down your name calling, finger pointing, and general antagonistic approach to Askville.

I believe that the moderator may even have suggested this to you. I think you're trying.As for your comment that I "might start enjoying this banter"? That is more projection: you *assume* that I'm not enjoying it now.

I think what you say speaks volumes about you, and says very little about me. What do you think? .

Caustic to some might be viewed as polite to the writer. What do you think? Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

I think your problem has been solved! ;-p .

Someone else here mentioned to you that you need thicker skin, or words to that effect. Don't be so sensitive and/or negative when others respond with answers that you don't agree with.

If someone is caustic, the reaction is to ignore the contributor. What is assumed as caustic may be civil to othersWhat do you think? Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

You came here on a mission and your profile is a complain that "democrats" are angry. IMHO, you view anyone who doesn't agree with you as expressing anger instead of sharing their views. I know I have not insulted you.

I have not goaded you. I have answered your questions pointedly, leaving you the option to respond and converse; however, you have suggested that you will ignore my responses. I can only assume that you have come to this decision solely because I don't agree with your ideology.

I pick a number of topics that interest me. They include Visual Arts, Philosophy and Religion, and Politics at times as well as very generalized chats. I do not choose to respond because I'm angry; I choose to respond because the topic interests me.

I suspect you have a difficult time understanding the difference.

Not into reading angry comments Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

In other words you don't know what I wrote at all. My grandma used to call people like that: A horse with blinders.

Because you ask questions designed to badmouth the legally elected government, and to goad anyone not of a conservative bias (and you sometimes even goad conservatives) .

The aren't. They are trying to have a discussion with you but you'll have none of it.

I'm wary when an answerer comes across as belligerent and angry. I file these in my memory banks. Goldie was one such person, but we've come to an agreement that she'll be civil.

Just answerered one of her question. Big change and issued a compliment on her comments Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

Uh, "certain faction" is one of those phrases of such varying definition AND interpretation that some could take issue with it. Me, I always know there are those who disagree with me; I give the best answer with the best information that I have and never mind whether they like it or not because my job isn't to make them happy, nor even to make the question-asker happy, but to give the best answer with the best information.

I don't mind people disagreeing with me, it's those with the personal insults and belligerencies that make up this faction. Since I said it out loud, and since you asked, apparently, these are the factions Katzinjammer 6 months ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
