Unbelievebale...I post about US female soccer team World Cup victory, I then add " congrats" and the (usual) one does neg me.....Might be deemed as an anti-American neg......Just as he negs article on Cali earthquake

 

 

The man is a hater......He doesn't even look at  or care about the content of an  article...He sees "umbertino" and he just negs away as if therere's no tomorrow....That's stupid and senseless

 

For this weirdo, my name already is motive for negging ( no matter the kind of content)......Some people, man.....

don't know who or why you were negged.....but ur reputation as anti-American didn't just "poof" from the sky.....its well deserved from articles you've presented over the years.

Whatever...Still  IMHO it's got ZERO to do with negging articles on US team victory, Cali. earthquake. etc....I honestly can't see the point in still justifying that attitude...The person is just dead wrong in negging those non-political articles...Period....

 

One should simply acknowledge this very fact if one is intellectually honest...No matter if one is right, center or left wing

 

 

About the Politics...Ok...I kinda accept that.....

I'm the one who is sorry if I happened to misunderstand you, nstoolman...

 

Anyway....I recall a post from Shedagal ( she got a pic of Trump so she is certainly not left wing)  of  months ago where she was very brave in admitting that attacking me ( and others) for the sole reason/ "guilt"  of my personal political stance didn't make much sense ( among adults at least)....I did appreciate her a whole lot of course...I do recall her post being very much negged.....

For the zillionth time....I am not anti-American....

 

You sound like those saying that if one criticizes Israel Politics then  he / she is anti-Israel....That's not how it works, sorry...

 

You criticize the Politicians and their Policies, not the Country and the People......

 

I have my political ideas and stances just like you and everybody else....There is not a law ( yet) forcing all of us to think and like the same things......Thank God for that....
