WR Posters You Don't Agree With but Respect...

[Rational Poster]

I don't respect none of you .

Ditto.

 

[Rational Poster]

@Greoric i disagree with almost 90% of what he believes but he is a man of conviction, one of the few consistent WR posters.

It's too bad his conviction is the desire to go back to the barter system or whatever.

anyone with a join date prior to 2010, I can respect they havent been banned yet, we used to get banned left and right, this like my third account or something...

 

[trolololol]

Can't respect anyone who supports Trump

It's okay, no one respects you.

 

[Rational Poster]

It's okay, no one respects you.

That isn't very nice.

 

[trolololol]

That isn't very nice.

No regrets.

Please elaborate.

It was disclosed during the last WR election that @JDragon may have an affinity for dogs. Like, major affinity.

He was running for War Room President. Some links to a beastiality site with some incriminating evidence were released by Hans Leaks. It was gross.

Good poster, very questionable human being.

I hear you. I have this friend who got banned from here twice before and she got banned for some reasons that really left me scratching my head. Contrast this to me being here now and I don't know, for the life of me, how I haven't received dubs as of yet.

 

[Dr J]

For me, it's the blend of left, right, center, crazy, rational, serious, and humorous that makes this place great and has had me posting here for years. Wouldn't be the same without all you guys and gals.

I like engaging him because he isn't just a one-liner type, but I question that description. For one thing, one cannot consistently be a capitalist and an anarchist. For another, a lot of his arguments are disingenuous. Like his support for far-right economics is based on a twisted moral idea, but he makes practicality-based arguments that he must know are weak. Think of healthcare. I would respect him more if he just said, "yes, under my preferred system, lots of kids would die, but that's a price I'm willing to pay because I think that taxation and regulations are so immoral that nothing can justify them." But he isn't bold or honest enough to take that step.

That friend made a great thread on rape culture an feminism in the west. At least that's how I remember it. I wonder what that friend is up to now?

I remember making a thread on a controversial subject before the war room existed, in the general forums, and at that time, I think actual fighters would come and post on this board. I think gary goodridge and rampage were in it, didnt like it, next thing I get IP banned.... The internet was a lot more like the wild west back then, like every web search turned up porn.... those days lol

kind of sad I lost my super early join date and a few years later, I came back to the boards, been an MMA fan for a while.

There are quite a few and some I respect in certain ways and disrespect in certain ways and there is almost no-one I agree with on everything. For ones I generally disagree with but respect either for their character, their ability, their tenacity, their audacity, or their ability to pull off a performance piece, I’d say…

Madmick, TheGreatA, RexKwonDo, Overpressure, Caveat, Jack V Savage, Palis, Panamacian, McVeteran81, Pwent, Ripskater, JDragon, Thurisaz.

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but... My respect for these posters takes several forms. Some I respect for their character, some I respect for their capability, and there is the odd one I respect for both. I find some of these people odious, though not most. I find my views at odds with all of them to some degree or another, whether I find occasion to argue with them.

For many of you, I respect you AND I agree with you – generally – so you don’t show up under the terms of the thread. If you’re not on here, don’t take it personally. Except Falsedawn. You suck. “Obsession noted, dick in mouth, ass only no babies, etc etc etc.”

This thread reminds me… I owe Dontsnitch a message back one of these days… Too caught up in getting ready for term, renovations, and an upcoming Europe trip to keep up on the small stuff.

You don't owe me anything, don't stress.

This thread is a bit of a fail for me personally, just because I have so many people on ignore. I may release them temporarily just for this thread. Maybe I am a snowflake.

He isnt dishonest, i think the correct word would be dellusional.

I dont think he believes that tons of people would die, but that somehow the invisible hand of the free market is going to save those kids, and if these kids end up dying is because X or Y factor distorted the market and thus was not truly a free market.

Similar to communists, they implement their ideas, they fail and then claim it wasnt true communism.

I tend to agree with Jack. Greoric is smart enough to steer the conversations away from the issues that totally sink his ideology.

Seems like Jack enjoys their back and forth but I find my interactions with him to be painful.

Well, i dont really read Greoric conversations beyond those that involve me, and i dont think we really disagree on the endgame.

We just disagree on how to achieve that end.

I think being consistent and having convictions is only slightly respectable.

Those convictions could be horrid and immoral so they don't get my respect. I mean, Goebbels was surely a man of conviction. A lot of the far-right crew here like glennrod, goldenirvana, Aviator "I have a PhD in history" Shades, and others seem to be very honest in their views. Doesn't mean I respect them or would have a beer with them or something.

Madmick, Zankou and Panamaican and maybe a few others are the only conservatives worthy of respect.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Not sure if you're aware, but WhitebeltXL was called out by Ruprecht for using a sock puppet to accuse himself of racism, and essentially admitted it recently. So you may want to withhold your respect.

Haha I remember that. Didn't really expect it from him.

He could say that it's just an incredible coincidence (or divine providence?) that makes his first-order moral intuition line up exactly with consequentialist morals, but at best that's just him lying to himself.

Right now I'm having a serious issue with @Rod1 in a different thread, and am thinking of puting him on ignore.

Seriously though, most of the regulars have something of value to add to their arguments, and I can respect that. Agree or disagree. Willful ignorance, deliberately misrepresenting counter arguments, non charitable posting that leads to dead ends, and trolling for the sake of derailing threads? Yeah, I have no time for people who regularly participate in those practices.
