Am I on a political debate website or a soap opera message board? I'm a little confused...

I am not aware of how a discussion can be either homosexual or happy. So what point are you trying to make?

I concur, super gay...

Great reply pyg!

I DID NOT AND WILL NOT TURN THIS SITE INTO A TRASH BIN!

I NEVER tried to destroy an efficiency rating! That is so petty!

I may have reacted, in some ways, emotionally in my responses. However, I tried to be rational. I completely agree with the golden rule, so I didn't go and try to make a nuisance of myself. I'm being accused of things I didn't do...

I don't either. Votes mean nothing. I rather be continually down-voted and make a point than vice versa...She is not a very fair debater if she's throwing around false accusations!!!!!!!!!!

I may be a little naive....However, I have done no wrong, but resorting to crude comments because I am angered easily..Call me McCain...I am not out of line..I do not treat people judgmentally. I am a good person, with stubborn opinions...If you don't like that: don't talk to me...SIMPLE!

Thank you my friend Jamais! If I didn't work so hard at what I do here, I wouldn't care either...but to leave the site at night with an 82% efficiency rating and come in the next day and find it went down to 53% overnight....is just TOO much. That's when the names came...and I'm glad of it. Repubgal lies, cheats and steals what you've created over time...and in the blink of an eye! Be warned my friend!

LOL@THE BOSS...Do you think they lived happily ever after? You're such a cutie...but it's the calm before the storm my friend. Thank you for the story-book ending though.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...I'm AWAKE!!!

LOL..

Yea, I can only hope the rivalry subsides.

I am the kinda person who doesn't hold a grudge. If it stays this way I will be more than happy. All the best, you know?

A fairy tale ending can only be hoped for, but I appreciate it!

I wish that there was an option of "neutral" instead of just "favor" or "oppose."

Anyways, I both favor and oppose your above post, Kuklapolitan. ;)

I agree that when we have issues, the creators should listen to them, this site is a beta release after all!

I agree that there is no reason why one's efficiency rating should go down, or up, that much so soon... unless there is foul play going on. I am sorry that this happened to you.

I will admit that I will up or down vote people's posts with out always posting why... some times some one already said it better than me, but it is our right to use the CD site as it is designed... to vote up or down debates we agree with or against... not the people posting them!

I do not agree that we should limit the age on this site... we should want the youth... (of which myself at 28 is still part of as I have a LOT to learn in this world still...) to learn from the adults, or more experienced, in a topic of debate! For example, I know a lot of about nutrition, it is my field, and I know more than my parents on the topic. But there are lots of other things, like being a parent, that they know more about than I do. My point is we can all learn from each other! You said it right in that it is an issue of experience in life... and not one's age. Who are we to judge at what age some one had the proper experiences to debate a topic? Maybe by learning what the younger generations think about things, we can learn how to better communicate and educate them, or even learn some thing from them. What is learned/gained by kicking them off the CD site or pushing them aside to one section of the debate? Do we do the same with different genders, races, etc? No! Technically, this is ageism!

Also, you ask others to not use personal attacks... but above you personally attack some one! Now, I understand that you felt like you were defending yourself, and you have that right... but you could have also been the bigger (maybe older, more experienced, more intelligent, so you said) person and let it go with out stooping to their level.

I definitely appreciate what your going through and realize how frustrating it must be. I also agree that the site should be fixed so that things like this cannot happen.

I wish you would not lump all teens into the same category here though. I am 17 and have tried to make a meaningful contribution to the site.

People like Rupubgal do need to be stopped, but don't make it a war against youth; some of have things we want to say.
