Quote:You are not a nice person.

 

You tell people here all the time how stupid their opinions are

You tell because that because they don't agree with you they are wrong

You quote 'facts' all the time and when told or shown you are wrong you [BAD WORD REMOVED] and moan about how persecuted you are
You expect us to be nice to you when you treat us all like we're idiots because that's how you see us

You are hostile to anyone who doesn't share your point of view

 

I could go on but I don't want to be the mean person here. I'll leave that up to you. Unless and until you start treating everyone how you want to be treated you cannot expect us to be anything other than civil- forget about being respectful or even nice.

 

To be fair, she actually is a nice person.  She has a disability that most people don't understand or comprehend.  Is she difficult to deal with sometimes?  Of course.  However, she is not like people make her out to be.  To call someone not a nice person and say that they "see us as idiots" is pretty wrong in my opinion.  If you took a bit of time to understand how someone like her thinks, then you might be just a little bit more understanding.

 

I quite frankly left a fan group years ago (Jagnation) because I heard what their "leadership" thought of and how they talked about people (including yourself).  I heard the "leadership" of that group openly mocking fans that supported them because of their disabilities.  When we used to do a podcast, I was able to hear them make very offensive and racist comments about other fans.  I personally don't want to be associated with people of their ilk.

 

By the way, that group for the most part folded.  One segment is still around and is why I refuse to even visit the website (BCC).  In all honesty, Alfie was one of the biggest offenders.

 

One member on this board who I admire and have the utmost respect for is D6.  I have seen many interactions and dialog between him and MJF.  I don't think I have ever seen one post of his that was derogatory or hateful towards her.  Perhaps if people learned and tried to be more like him meaningful change can really come about.

 

I for one much like D6 am conservative and hold many of the same values that he does.  I also happen to follow a certain religion that teaches "do unto others as you would want them to do unto you".  If you ask me, that's what this country really needs right now.
