Can someone explain what was "abusive"?

Stupid, yes, and probably posted by a Sock, but abusive? Not that I can see by itself. If the Sock had posted a whole series of similar items, however, IMO as a whole it would be abusive.

Tammy has probably just inched closer to her breaking point.

Nothing abusive about stupid, and most 3 word mantras are just that!

The Olympian makes a mockery of "abusive"

I think they use abusive for anything that is not follow the posting guidelines. Ads, off topic (which this example was), etc, all seem to be tagged as "abusive"

The following is undoubtedly "abusive"!

Larry,

I knew we could depend on you to support your friends.

Well, it's both off topic and intended as a slam on a particular individual.

"Larry,

Since I wrote a letter in support of Sam Hunt, I find absolutely nothing wrong with IV's comment

It's true. My friends, Sam Hunt being one, can depend on my support.

Sam Reed gets my support also.

In 4 or 5 years of reading IV's drooling bullshit, he finally said something about me that was absolutely true.

Now I'm not sure if InDependsVoter would appreciate how he mocked his moniker.

Kardnos said...

By the way, crew -

"ThreeWordMantra" is me!

Ever heard of "three card monty"? It's a card game/scam that is run on streets. It's a fool's game, where you have one person be the loser to set up your victim.

I was doing a play on words because a letter writer has fallen for the "fools game" of three word phrases - Chicago style politics, no new taxes, etc.

It was in context to a letter, but obviously I wasn't direct enough as some of you didn't get my drift and The Olympian thought it was abusive.....LOL


So....sock it to me!!!!!

sparkle said...

Larry, fools game, stupid, kind of the same thing. To bad it was pulled. It would have been good fun to see the.......reaction.

And BTW, I hope were letting IV's posts remain, to show what a tool/troll he is!

Sparkle - I don't complain about comments, other than dropping a line to Lui, Tammy and the Publisher today, to address "radec's" assertion that I live in Lewis County.

I sent them my mailing address to assure them that I didn't deceive anyone when sending the LTE. Of course, I had already gotten a call from Mike Oakland, anyway.

radec didn't have a very good day.

sparkle said...

redac, cedar's polar opposite, I have no sympathy for, maybe that user name is now history along with ALL THE OTHERS!

sparkle, unfortunate radec is still there as of this time: http://www.theolympian.com/personas?plckUserId=aaed8b02382dc1c9b320ce772d946a3c-20814&insiteUserId=aaed8b02382dc1c9b320ce772d946a3c-20814

Although, Anon..

Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery..

...And why don't we have Cedar in here?

Somebody really needs to invite him/her...

I really enjoy his/her insightful comments..

(not to mention sense of humor...)

They don't seem to have any problems with IV's daily "tolerant and diverse" speech, though it adds nothing substantive to the discussion
