There have been topics where no one was bashing the other side and you've felt the need to be overly defensive. Okay, so you try to back pedal and say "some people are doing it in the media". Fine. Who cares? You enter posts where people are having reasonable conversations and complain about people who are NOT being talked about and are NOT part of the conversation. If I continually bashed volleyball players in a thread where you were talking about your daughters playing volleyball, wouldn't you, at some point, feel like I really was talking about all volleyball players? You seem to feel the need to continually rain on everyone's parade by accusing them of things they aren't doing. So, no, I am not going to rant at BD for this one post because he hasn't felt the need to behave this way ad nauseum.

What's more, his post in this thread doesn't equal your hyperbole, either.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 <<obviously if it came from a Bush it's a self serving piece of crap from the Anti Christ family.... geez>> vbdad55, that's not how I roll. I don't prejudge the value of a piece based upon who wrote it. I actually read it, and I react based upon its content. To be honest, I have no antipathy against the Bush daughters. And I would never refer to ANY family as the "AntiChrists." But I totally stand by my initial comments. This "letter" is a cheap grab at positive publicity for the Bush daughters/family. If it were a sincere letter of advice from two girls who grew up in the White House to two pre-teen girls... it would have been written to their level... it would have omitted all the Bush-family aggrandizing... it would not have appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Sorry. If the Bush twins had written a truly heartfelt, sincere, helpful letter to Obama's children, I would be one of the first to get all choked up about it and to praise them. But -- sorry -- that didn't happen. What we have here is a very poorly-crafted PR piece that was floated to the media to make the Bushes look better.

Heck even the president quipped about drinking during his farewelladdress - I didn't hear him refer to himself asthe anti christ however - but whatever - obviously I just don't need to comment at all..

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF It's OK, really. Honestly. I like you, vbdad. And mele. And for what it's worth, I still think this "open letter" was a nice thing, PR stunt or not, my snarky "fake ID" comment notwithstanding. I choose to take it in the spirit in which I believe it was given: a note of encouragement to the Obama girls from two young women who are very much in the know about life in the White House. Doesn't matter to me whether it actually came from Jenna and Barbara themselves or a PR team.
Originally Posted By mele Nice...my reading comprehension is called into question when you said "so if there was over reacting- then you need look at the ORIGINAL POST". Man up and stop with the word games. I'm just supposed to *know* what posts you are referring to? Maybe stick to what's said in the thread you are posting to, or post a link to the thread you are referencing. That might make it easier for illiterate idiots like me to comprehend. I'm sorry you feel my posts add nothing to this forum...one could certainly say the same thing about your anti-Obama comments. They *could* have made an interesting topic if you had created a thread about them and provided back up, instead of vaguely accusing LPers of thinking Obama is the next Messiah. But, clearly you don't really want conversation about that topic. You just want to say your piece and have everyone agree with you. You certainly don't react well when someone simply disagrees with you. If you really wanted to talk about it, you wouldn't go about it this way. Look at all of the drama caused by you in this thread (and others). Thanks for "adding" so much.
