Dee; is that you?

 

She was. Her name is in the title of 21 threads. She was a fascinating and troubled young woman who could be charming when she was in the right mood.

XNXX bullies sensed her vulnerability, so they attacked her like sharks attacking a bleeding victim.

I defended her as best as I could, because it is my nature to behave that way.

In addition to the XNXX bullies, she had many friends here.

I have not received an e-mail letter from her for several years. I told her that she has been unbanned, but she has not come back.

I am worried about her. I miss her. I hope she is happy.

 

Thank fuck this thread wasn't started in AD 30 or whatever. We'd have about 5 billion posts about "I'm going to leave if Jesus gets crucified".

Please, please, please shut this fucking thread down.

 

Mike,

You are new here. You probably know little about deidre79. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. Learn from the Master of Facts.

deidre79 was a troubled young woman who seemed to have mild symptoms of schizophrenia. If you want to know how schizophrenia feels to the schizophrenic, please take this short quiz:

http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/schizophrenia.htm

Schizophrenia has been aptly called "split personality." deidre79's good personality was charming. Her bad personality was interesting. When she was in a good mood she was like chilled fruit punch, spiked with vodka. When she was in a bad mood she was like spicy Mexican food.

If you have not learned it yet, you will learn MikeBaker that XNXX can be a cruel environment.

Cyber bullies roam the forum in search of easy targets.

They sensed the vulnerability of deidre79 the way sharks smell blood in the water. Frequently they would gang up on deidre79. When this happened I hastened to her defense.

My defense was insufficient.

Eventually she was banned for doing something that was not clearly prohibited by the Rules.

Because deidre79 had many admirers in addition to me, her banishment shook XNXX to its foundations. Since then she has been unbanned.

I told her in an e-mail letter that she has been unbanned, but she has not come back.

She deserved better than her treatment here.

I hope she is happy.

 

Please tell me two things:

1. You don't actually believe this clown is a new member.
2. You don't STILL pine for diedre.​

 

And as of today...Deidre79 still has a dick.

 

1.

2.

 

Oh, c'mon, doggo. All you have to do is look at his posts. He does the same thing jvarney and a host of others did. At one point he was Joliet. He may have been here when diedre was.

 

I know this is a free speech site, and on one wants to impinge on that, but using a dead member's avatar picture is just plain wrong. How much disrespect is tolerable?

 

I will leave freely if Feltplay and JPT get banned and I don't mean coming back as reincarnations either.

 

Who cares?

There's nothing of interest here except creatures of habit.

 

richief's last sentence, which I have boldened, is an example of what stumbler was discussing in the following comment:

Also, stumbler's sentence, "It is when the best people you are debating can do is commit an ad hominem logical fallacy by attacking or dismissing the source of information rather than addressing the actual information."

He might have been referring to richief's claim that The Bell Curve "is discredited by most serious academics."

The Bell Curve has never been discredited. It explains what most public school teachers are quietly aware of. It explains why efforts to close the race gap in academic performance, efforts like Head Start and No Child Left Behind, have failed.

The only reason "serious academics" do not defend The Bell Curve more vigorously is because defense of this important book can cripple an academic career. This kind of censorship has no place in the discussion of an important issue with obvious political implications.

 

Fallacy: Personal Attack

Also Known as: Ad Hominem Abusive.

Description of Personal Attack
A personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself. The truth value of a claim is independent of the person making the claim.

I am snowed in so I might bump a bunch of threads.

 

We do it because this song describes deidre79:

 

deidre79 was in poor mental health. She reminded me of a girl friend I had years ago who suffered from mild schizophrenia. That is probably why I was attracted to her. Like my girl friend deidre79 could go from charming to accusing at a moment's notice, and without adequate provocation.

Mental illness is not a moral failing but it is a weakness. Some of the posters here on XNXX sensed deidre79's vulnerability and it brought out the bully in them.

It is my nature to defend hurting people against bullies. I also defended baller16.

 

And it has been ages since diedre79 is long gone from this forum

 

So why did you exhume this old thread?

 

In the memory of old friends

 

And enemies. Because some of them were damned good enemies. Worth doing battle with.

But I will also admit shedding some tears for the great friends we lost.
