There are usually, say, a couple dozen active politics/current events threads at any given time.
You can't 'stalk' over that short amount of space.
If there were thousands of active threads, and someone still posts right after you like, constantly, THEN you can maybe bitch about 'stalking'.

Someone refuting your arguments, or posting around the same time as you, or saying something you dont like in a thread you were in at some point kind of maybe a little bit, or disagreeing with you in any way, is not stalking.

You also have to consider that this is a public forum, and that by posting as often as you do, your posts are going to be read by many and thus your more memorable posts will be brought up later.

Stalking me from one thread to another, not just a couple but several and over long periods of time, is stalking and a couple do it.
They just have a problem with me and like to disagree with me on every other post I make no matter if it is in politics, religion, general, etc, they just follow me around bitching. It is hilarious.

Wow, yeah RK, that's a downright infallible argument! Stalking you is stalking - who would have thought it!

Persecution complex much?

I found his comment completely balanced, logical, and easily grasped. The only part I found insulting - childish - confusing - were both posts from lookout123. Why would lookout123 post as he does. Lookout123's intent is obvious and summarized in rkzenrage's reply. His point was to only disparage rkzenrage.

are you so fucking dense that you really don't get it?

Well let’s see. He insults and mocks rkzenrage. Then he uses profanity.

The problem here is Lookout123. He uses profanity for no useful purpose. Lookout123 cannot just post a logical reply. He must include insults and mockery due to no cognizant rebuttal. Then he starts baiting. Tricks used to represent a dishonest conviction.

I'm sorry dearest little muppet, are you prepared to finally answer any of the questions i asked you in the stock market thread months ago? no? then come back when you are prepared to grow some integrity and are worthy of holding a discussion with. mmmmkay? now wipe your tears away and go back to your popular mechanics collection.

queequeger · 11-14-2007, 11:34 PM

Rk, I post in quite a few threads you do, and more often disagree with you than not. Am I obsessed with you? Don't be so subjective, Ibram's got the right of it. And jesus, there are a lot of folks on here that are more interested in name calling than chatting and arguing.

Oh, and why do you keep calling people muppets, lookout? Don't get it.

queequeger · 11-14-2007, 11:37 PM

Also... what's wrong with popular mechanics? Ass.

lookout123 · 11-15-2007, 12:15 AM

actually i only call tw a muppet. everything he says is regurgitated from some damn script.

nothing wrong with popular mechanics. i've read some pretty interesting articles there.

queequeger · 11-15-2007, 05:27 AM

Oh, come on then. 99% of things people say are only ideas we got from someone else. There is a finite number of information in the world, and a finite number of ideas that can be formed from them. Chances are if the information you have isn't brand new (i.e. you JUST did the research like 5 minutes ago), nothing you come up with is new. In fact, you probably heard it on the news and are regurgitating it. It's just a fact of life.

Except me. I'm 100% did-it-myself original.

Aliantha · 11-15-2007, 05:46 AM

I'm glad einstein and newton didn't think there were no new ideas.

queequeger · 11-15-2007, 06:13 PM

If you're about to compare anyone in this forum to Einstein or Newton, my head might pop. Those fellows and their ideas fall into the 1%... which is actually more like .001%. I'm pretty sure the rest of us will just have to be content arguing, drinking, fucking, and watching tv. All of which I enjoy a hell of a lot.

Aliantha · 11-15-2007, 06:16 PM

yes, 99% of us are stupid and don't have an original thought in our head.

queequeger · 11-15-2007, 06:25 PM

Oh, hay-zeus christo. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to say someone is only 'regurgitating things' when that's all most of us do. You might have rearranged your ideas in a slightly different way, but it's just that, rearranging. Who in this or any discussion have you heard spout a 100% original idea?

Aliantha · 11-15-2007, 06:29 PM

There's been a few who have influenced a change in my thinking because of ideas they've presented. whether those ideas were original or not I can't say for sure.

While I agree with you for the most part, I think that there is more original thought around than you ascribe.
