“That’s pretty crappy.”


The word, that (from “that’s”), is a pronoun. To what does it refer?

Are you asserting that the docu-drama, Unplanned, is “pretty crappy”?

Are you asserting that the topic of exposing the abortion industry is “pretty crappy”?

Are you asserting that the substance of the video discussion is “pretty crappy”?

Are you asserting that the simple existence of the video discussion is “pretty crappy”?

Are you asserting that the posting of the video itself is “pretty crappy”?

As usual, your so-called reply is not a legitimate one: lacking relevance, lacking substance. You are virtually never on topic – about anything. Any thread is merely an opportunity to be subversive: abusive, vulgar, and/or slanderous. In other words, every thread is merely an opportunity for you to be a troll.

Lacking evidence to the contrary, I suspect that the person who posted this actually cares about the issue at hand: the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood, sanctity of life and the Pro-Life movement, with all the moral and legal ramifications involved.

On the other hand, I have seen abundant evidence over dozens of threads of your monomaniacal motivation. Apparently, the issue at hand is never the issue at hand for you: just an excuse for a negative response – one lacking any redeeming value.

The issue of abortion – the deliberate killing of preborn human life – is a serious issue for me, for the poster, and for many others on Free Republic. If it is not for you, and you are not willing to take part in the discussion in a meaningful way, then stay off such threads. (That is per Jim Robinson, in a general notice in December.)

Gratuitously taking “pretty crappy” potshots at others – whether the thread has been correctly posted or not – is not on-topic behavior. You are not a moderator (are you?). If you are so obsessed with the idea of a mere blogger – however nebulously defined - posting anything on Free Republic, and are convinced it was invalidly done, then you can report it as abuse to an actual moderator.

This movie is important, as is the effort and witness of the people involved – both the real-life persons and the on-screen actors: All have paid a price in this society for taking such a stand.

As someone in past ministry, I have also paid a personal price for my public anti-abortion stands, going back to 1980 – long before this forum existed. This issue is important to me, objectively and subjectively. I find your trollish behavior objectionable on a general basis – but I find your gratuitously disrespectful reply on this particular thread especially offensive.

For the record, I am writing this for the benefit of others, not for you; having seen many of your “pretty crappy” replies going back many months, I consider you an anti-social recidivist. I care about you lowering the level of discussion on any thread you maliciously invade, not about whatever snarky reply you make toward me.

P.S.
I practice what I preach: I generally stopped commenting on your trollish posts long ago – per the above notice in December. I started reporting them as abuse. I reported this as abuse. That report was apparently ignored. This is my taking it to the next available option.

It refers to the single sentence posted as a thread.

Yes, we know. You spend a lot of words telling folks how awesome you are.

I consider you an anti-social recidivist.

Thanks for the consideration.

Gosh, that's pretty harsh there Reverend Stampy Foot.

This is my taking it to the next available option.

Yes, you're clearly upset. You deserve it.

Now go sit down and don't wake me up for this kind of nonsense again.
