I agree with the Pope and Mr. Saltwind!!

Good morning Ms. Patty: did you give me an answer to the above? If so, my apologies. If you did, please repost it. I must've overlooked it somehow.

On another note, I reviewed your earlier posts on my question to you about FOX news and would you as a mom support the way they lied in court.

In review, I think I found what you perceive is your answer to me on that very question. You asked me to pick an answer and that quote was your answer. I hardly consider asking one person a question and that person sending the question back to the person who asked the question with a "yes or no" answer and for the person who asked the question to pick one.

To me that is not an answer, but if that is your answer then what can i say other than it appears you a won't give me an answer.

I will again defer the question back to you mam and would appreciate an answer.

Thank You for taking the time to read this and I respectfully will await an answer from you.

If you don't want to answer the question, I would appreciate it if you would just say so mam rather than resort to name calling; which is a typical response from some people when they are faced with answering a question that cannot or will not answer.

Sincerely,

Too funny.....They should dust off the history books and see what President Reagan did with Iran Contra. That one really took the cake.

Hi Ms Patty;

Please explain. I am not sure I understand your reply. I guess I should also thank you for the professional reply. I am not so sure about the troll word though. I see you use that alot. Is it a word that is supposed to mean that I am a troll (wh**ever that is).

Please explain

Sincerely,

Thank you Ms Patty for the reply. All kidding aside ms Patty, what was it that I posted that is making you post the rebuttals in the manner you do?

In review of my previous posts, the only thing that I can see is the post in which I asked you about fox and would you encourage FOX'S defense in court, that it has the right to lie and would you as a mom, support foxs actions.

I see nothing anywhere else, so I would appreciate invert much mam, in the nicest way possible to inform me how and why all of these posts about me being a troll (?) came about.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this post Ms. Patty.

Sincerely,

Hi Ms Patty: Please review my last post to you. It appears you may have overlooked that one while you are busy informing other posters as it pertains to my previous posts and your rebuttalls to me which, to a reader may come across in less than a professional way.

Be rest assured Ms Patty that you are free to write anything you want. It is your reputation you are writing about. I will continue to address you in a most cordial and polite manner with any rebuttals I write in regards to your posts.

Sincerely,

Dear mcjwelles"

Your post is right on point. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Dear Ms Patty:

I believe your characterization of me is incorrect. I also believe that Mr. Ranger has the ability to reply if he so chooses so.

Did I say something to you that upset you mam? My opinion of you is a very intelligent lady and will remain that way.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms Patty:

I was wondering when you would resort to namecalling or sterotyping.

In a review of all of my posts to you Mam, I think I addressed you with the utmost respect.

Please explain what happened on your end?

Sincerely,

Hi Mr. Blackwell:

Thank You for your kind words, however I would feel responsible in part if someone went offline simply because of a differing opinion than mine.

Thanks again!

Dear Mr. Sanchez:

I agree with the both of you. I just say it differently. In my opinion, I believe the Citizen's United Decision was a horrible decision that gave e******ns to those who can afford it. History has shown that once corporations permeate the political halls, it is lights out for the average person.

As crazy as my 61 year old mind can be at times, I am still of the belief that while the corporations have the money to get what they want, the v**e is still the most effective way to effectuate change.

"Corporations may have the cash, but we have the v**e."

[quote=rickyray]Dear Ms Patty:

Thank You for replying to my last post. As is often the case, when someone asks a question that may feel uncomfortable to the other party, one hesitates or "evades" answering a question. Such is human nature. My question was if you would support FOX "if" they were known to go to court to protect their right to lie to its viewers? You answered you don't watch FOX. However I did not ask you if you watched FOX. If I did, that was not my intent and apologize "if" I did.

In looking from an outsider's perspective, I think you will agree with me on this:

In reading the posts, some will not understand a question or point of view the poster is trying to make. The person who replies will take a post and go through it with a microscope to find something that may be, in his or her mind a way to counter the posters point with disregard to the point the original poster made in an effort to muddy the issue so to speak. I think business schools taught their future managers this strategy when dealing with controlling their employees. (At least they used to)

Bait and switch comes to mind as a classic example. It ends up with the reader being totally confused and thus s/he got want it wanted to do. In other words, rather than answering the question, they confused it to a point where its irrelevant and buried in the posts.

I think Ms Patty, we may all be guilty of it. I understand you find my being an elderly as an excuse for your misunderstanding or evading a simple question. That's cool with me Mam. As a retiree, I have seen this in my dealings with people for decades while in the workforce. It really doesn't solve or providde an answer to a question.

I hit the send button with my finger by mistake, so forgive me for cutting the last post short.

In any event, I really do enjoy reading your posts to other posters. We may disagree on everything but let my post show that I do enjoy reading all of your rebuttals.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ranger: I would like to add President Reagan in his handing of Iran-Contra as well as Bush/Cheney invading Iraq for Weapons of Mass Destruction stunt that caused thousands of Americans their lives.

Thank You.
