once more, into the breech
I decided last night that I have to stop being such a wuss, and rejoined the political debate. You can witness the slow-motion train wreck if you'd like.
I think I am doing better at keeping my sarcasm to a bare minimum. I admit it is very difficult. There was one post which the author edited (she thought better of it, even though she says she meant what she said) but I did read it before she changed it: she said that finding a quote from one of my posts embedded in someone else's reply was like stepping into a pile of dog shit. Nice, huh?
I admit that I get some satisfaction out of annoying them. Highlights (or, perhaps, lowlights):
"I only want those to vote who are voting for my candidate! :) "
"[George] Soros has excellent perspective and you're right - everyone should take the time to read [his website]."
"The funny thing is that I used to be a Bush supporter. I voted for him in the last election because I just couldn't stomach Gore. The more you post, the more I take out my anger on your candidate." (from the inspiration for this; she's still "there".)
There's more, of course, impugning my motives and calling me arrogant and whatnot. I admit it: I want people to hear what I have to say. I believe I'm right. I believe this election is important.
Still, I think my avatar's description is more apt than ever, over there: bootless. At least I know I tried.

You really ought to get a life. You stated it so clearly here that you are motivated to do this to annoy people. I say it again... get a life!!
You ARE condescending and arrogant, yet something tells me you love that about yourself.
You are one of those people who no one can possibly like so you try to seek attention negatively. It is too bad. As intelligent as YOU think you are... no one else is all that impressed. Again, that doesn't matter because you impress yourself.
Now let's see how long it take you to delete this!!
Now why on earth would I delete that?
