Notice we all keep hanging around despite being left with the "not so nice and kind" among you. I don't know why we liberals have to take the blame for the fact that a handful of conservative peas were thin skinned. No one can be "run off" who doesn't want to be. If I can put up with you, rainbow, Gia and that button person, they could certainly have put up with the few of us who are sharp-edged. There IS discussion here and plenty of it. We've actually had a pretty civil one over on your heartbeat bill thread. What there is not is tolerance for fake news sources and "I heard" being used as evidence in discussions, and that causes some people to get mad and feel like they're being picked on. From the conservative side, there is no tolerance for any liberal assertion that some ideas are racist, misogynist or otherwise morally wrong. We are not allowed to make moral judgements. Only conservatives on this board are apparently allowed to make moral judgements. So I call BS on the idea that people left because of the "ugliness of the Trump haters." They left because they were bothered by having their beliefs challenged and didn't like being asked to support what they asserted with facts. And they'll probably be back if they're not already. I know you're not interested in my opinion, Lauren. Just throwing it out there for the sake of discussion. You're not worth responding to, honestly. When sweet, kind people like Jody leave because of how she's treated by people she thought were her friends, your comments about them being thin skinned show just how awful a person you are. Trumps got nothing on you in that area. The more I hang around the more I'm disgusted by people like you. I really got stay off threads where you are from now on. I'll take Skybar, Jody, Margaret and a slew of nice conservatives over disgusting people who pretend they're nice...but only to those who agree with them. I guess I'm thin skinned too because I find myself wishing you ill and hoping you get treated in life the way you treated these people.. I think it's time for me to really just stop reading and responding to anything other than the IP threads. Haven't read all respond yet, but Jody left FB (at least temporarily) too so I don't think it's the peas who are the problem.

Liz melts down periodically. Papercrafteradvocate has been here for years and never melted down. Shame to see anyone melting down. Or going over to the General Scrapping forum solely to bump a month old thread with a snarky comment......

SURPRISE!!!!! Every word out of trumps mouth, the Mouths of any of the people around him or any of his children plus any of their actions are all going to be thread fodder. Actually, they already are. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the pod😜 We thought we would never have to talk about Trump again. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Personally I like political threads. I wish we were discussing the Clinton administration instead of Trump's picks which read like a doomsday prediction from the National Inquirer.

She found comments from all sorts of people and places too upsetting/rude/offensive.

You are back tracking and giving a different meaning to what you said. People aren't ignoring the second part of the sentence.
But that's exactly what you're doing. Especially when you can't even finish the sentence. "You said You wished her ill and hoping she gets treated.... in life the way you treated these people."
She wished that Merge would get treated the same way she treats others.

She he wished her I'll AND hoping she gets treated the way she treats others. You do understand what and means?? She didn't wish her ill by hoping she gets treated the same way she treats others.

I'm not in the least "mad". I'm disgusted. And why aren't they here? They were part of the 2 peas family for many, many years. They left during the election cycle. I happened to know for a fact why Jody left. And it's exactly what I said: people, including you, that she thought were her friends being so hateful about her being a conservative or voting for Trump. How do I know? I'm in touch with her. She is a very gentle, sweet, woman who happens to be devout in her Christian beliefs and who voted in accordance with her conscience. Remember comments like "any one who votes for Trump is Hitler. Or is ignorant. Or hates women", blah, blah, blah. You were not the sole cause of these people leaving but your comments certainly contributed. Lauren, I never made any of those blanket statements about Trump voters. I made a point of not making them. Not here, not on FB. Never. I wouldn't downplay your participation in those blanket statements, because you certainly did participate in them. Many times.

Oh, I know your finger didn't just hit the button, when scrolling by unless it just happened to hit the button several more times on posts saying the same thing. And then your fingers just happened to hit random keys that just happened to make up the words to a post that supported your "accidental hitting" of the button in support of that post. And then claiming anyone who didn't like being lumped in those blanket statements is just "thin skinned". I don't hate you, but lying about your involvement, that's pathetic even for you.   ETA: Whats weird is, I thought you might say something like that and it could actually be the case, but when I saw that you liked other posts just like it, I thought to myself, there's no way she would say that, because it clearly isn't the case. And yet you did.

But I still think it's weird to go digging up posts from September in response to something I posted days ago. It seems a bit obsessive. Generally speaking, I have made a point of not making blanket statements. Obviously in the heat of argument I am fallible like anyone else. There have been some pretty nasty and condescending remarks made by conservatives here toward liberals just in the past few days, and completely unprovoked, if you're interested in those.

I didn't go digging. It's a thread I, myself have referenced a few times since that statement was made. And statements like your claim of unprovoked is exactly why I have. So no obsession involved just current events, but nice that you tried to diminish me and my view in your apology. That's a class act apology, right there Yes, I'd like to see those "completely unprovoked nasty and condescending remarks made by conservatives here toward liberals". Please do link them. I really want to see them.

She only attacks liberals. Defends those who attack liberals. She NEVER calls out, stalks, and dredges up posts where others have said crap to a more liberal. Heck she even defends Lauren on her "hope it happens to you" rampages. She herself likes plenty of threads where others are being demeaned or attacked. She just thinks she's more clever at getting away with it. You can like any post you want merge, it's done all the time, and it doesn't mean that you are saying the words that are written by someone else. I've "liked" posts where I might not agree with every single word, but in the context at that moment I might like it as support just to the poster.

Seriously? We have resorted to screenshots of posts that people have 'liked'? And clicking 'like' on something means we are in total agreement?
Let it go.

Most of us don't have the time or interest to go back to read every page of a 3-mo-old thread (that you've apparently been referring back to all along, for whatever stalkerish reason of your own). No thought on your part that maybe she just forgot what she Liked three months ago? Did she perhaps make a mistake? No, let's just jump straight to "you're lying." Yep. Nice. This whole discussion really makes you look admirable, too.

Every damn time here.

Once DT got elected, I didn't think for a nanosecond the political threads would slow down - I'd be an idiot if that was my assumption.
