Now I have to get personal again. They don't go after you because they have no argument. They go after you because you have no argument, but general complaints and wide-brush attacks on groups, which you claim aren't personal but you include members by association, thereby making yourself look innocent while attacking anyone who disagrees with you, just without naming names. That tactic doesn't make you any less guilty than those who come at you directly. If anything, they're being honest about their attacks.

That doesn't make the attacks right. That said, we allow them up to a point because of your own posting habits. They aren't entirely unwarranted.

This thread has been a great example, a very minor incident my early 20's that I believe in the long run was for best, as it made me understand some things.I mentioned this as it was relevant in another thread and tribes has tried to use it to personally attack me and say I had no room to be angry about an illegal immigrant running into the car that my girlfriend and I were in.We are innocent victims of this fool's criminal behavior.
I agree up to this point. I have also asked that the attacks stop here. I said it politely but it was not just a request.

I can handle it but it does get annoying, especially when I am pretty sure if I heaved in such manner, I would be in the brig.I was put there for much less but as a conservative white male in 2013 America, I am used to not catching breaks many others enjoy.
And that was the point at which you lost my agreement. You were not brigged for much less, though you keep making that claim. You were politely asked to do one thing. When you argued about it you were told why it was a bad idea. When you continued to argue you were warned. It wasn't until you chose to mock the moderator who was cutting you a lot of slack that enough was enough, and you were finally brigged. You were given a lot of breaks, and refused to listen. This is exactly what happens with some others here, and will continue to happen. You are treated no worse than anyone else here.

You now pull out the radio-host "conservative white male" argument. You could not be further from the truth, at least where Subsim is concerned. You are called on the carpet, disputed with, and mocked, not because of your beliefs, but because of your way of expressing them as absolute fact without ever offering any real evidence as to why anyone should believe them. It's your posting style that brings you this grief, and your unwillingness to address any real contradictions to your claims. You avoid any post that gives real facts, and if you occasionally do it's with vague denials, after which you wait a page or two and then bring up the exact same claim which has already been disproven.

No, with a couple of exceptions you do not have detractors here. You have people who see things differently, and do a fair job of countering your claims, to which you give replies that practically beg for mockery, then cry "personal attack" when someone does so.

You and your "detractors" are two sides of the same coin, and neither of you seem to be able to see it.
