I can see why you find it hard to maintain patience, when you talk down to people who don't put up with your nonsense, it appears you don't like that? Oh well....
While you continue to cry yourself that river, forgive me for signing off now, but I've got to move on...

You should maybe try to be more specific if I may also make that suggestion. I won't argue most of my replies to your comments are condescending in nature for all the reasons I've explained. Perhaps I should be more patient. I was working on that, but mostly just moved onto other comments that don't inspire condescension quite like yours do. I'll admit you get the better of me that way, but it's not "all my posts" in any case. It's mine about yours. There's a difference.

Also BTW, I'm not the only one you seem to similarly inspire that way, but I'm not one to keep those sorts of notes as if it matters what someone else might think. No big deal that others suggest your opinions are not all you think they are. Not to me anyway, but let's not think anyone is unique in these respects. Right? There is every version of "thinking" going on as expressed by the countless comments in these threads.

Just like the facts you choose to focus upon, so too you seem focused on the few select comments from a few others that suit your sensibilities and ego.

I'll leave you be now, so you can enjoy more repetition without me there to make note. Maybe tomorrow I can avoid noticing altogether, but you make that very hard to do...

On that too, however, I'm going to try and do better! Maybe tomorrow...

I know once past two sentences it's all "blah blah blah" to you, but you are very LONG on all you want to pass along, very SHORT on much else!

My word, why do I bother?



You obviously did....or you would not have re-posted about it disappearing.



With your posts.....that's all they say...blah blah blah, I'm better than you, blah blah blah, I'm better than you.....blah blah blah...I'm better than you....


Yes please, don't bother anymore....

I'm very specific, that's why I don't post long useless diatribes like you, I'm to the point. Seems you don't like that.

I don't care if you are patient or not, really....


So, it appears you can dish it but not take it....sad, but it's becoming the norm in the world lately....

Yes, and it appears, that when you are confronted with facts that go against your "thinking" it makes you mad.

I'll agree with you on this. I'm done with the wall threads until there is some new development to discuss, i.e. a new bill or proposal on the table, emergency declaration, etc.

Your quote is below....you said stop, not partially, nothing. You gave an absolute.




And go back and comprehend what I wrote.....I also said "or who has said that?"





Yes, lets hope.
And collectively, the sheriffs individual perspectives add up the the entire picture.

Read my quote again.

I understand what you've written. Perfectly.

I wish there were something else/better to expect from any thread, about anything, but my experience has taught me much better is not likely in this forum. Apparently you and chucksnee have been here even longer than I have, so no doubt you have noticed the same thing. We really can't help ourselves...

At least you seem to have a bit better common sense not to keep beating your head against the same wall. I respect that. Best to ignore those stuck in their repetitive mode like a broken record.

So you didn't understand my comment #3320?

Not surprised but honestly, what I wrote isn't that hard to understand, and I'm not the only one resigned not to keep spinning in the same circles. I certainly won't bother with that sort of thing anymore, so sorry I can't return a cute video of what you remind me of. I certainly didn't bother looking at yours.

Yesterday I signed off with the notion of making an effort to do better, to keep it civil to the extent patience will allow. Seems you missed that too. I will bother to add that you do remind me of this quote I used to pass along to my clients when I worked as their Executive Coach. You being the sort of person that always tests my ability not only to keep these words in mind but live by them. Unfortunately, I try but all too often fail, because I still need to work on my patience with certain things that certain people say and do...

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration; I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. -- Goethe

I've been treating you as you are. My bad. I can do better. Thanks for reminding me of that goal, forever a personal work-in-progress for me.

"But environmentalists warn the 5' high, 40 mile fence will harm the region's wildlife and not serve the function for which it's intended." And it's a fence to keep out boars, not migrants. Thread fail, OP.
