I declare a truce.

[Blaithin]

Nope, you’re top priority.

Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[chuckChuck]

I am top priority? High praise indeed. At least I am number one at something. LOL

[Blaithin]

Everyone needs a goal, even if it’s to be the #1 troll to get shot down.

Early onset or just selective memory?
speaks for itself.

I take exception to that statement. Having lost my own father to dementia which started far too young. There's nothing funny about this disease.
I am offering you a truce, and treating you with respect right now, and this is how you return the favor.

Im moving on from rural issues sadly enjoyed posting family stuff and non farming stuff.

Heading over to commodity section.

Another notch in your belt glenn.

Everyones trying to help ya mate, just think before ya post.

see ya on the "other side"

[chuckChuck]

I lost an elderly parent with dementia as well. It's a painfull experience and much worse when it happens early in life.

But we all know in your case its obviously intentionally selective memory.

You have never respected my opinions and have trolled me from the start, sometimes with absurd inflammatory accusations.

So any of your offers of respect and a truce are hollow window dressing.

But you don't seem to mind when your side is very disrespectful and offensive to posters they disagree with?

Just more faux outrage?

Just another personal attack? That's all you guys got?

its not all we got but we know when its far better to say notting

I think I should take Blaithin's advice, and keep this experiment going. After all, the test subject seems to be eagerly willing to continue to participate. However inexplicable that may be, considering the results so far have invalidated his hypothesis that his behavior was directly a result of how I was treating him.
The lead researcher and my research assistant, (also now known as my groupie, but research assistant sounds more professional) have been trying a different tactic, heaping praise and compliments towards the test subject, and if anything it has made the behavior worse, not better.
It is looking increasingly as if the original hypothesis blackpowder put forward is the correct one.

I suppose another variation on this experiment would be if we all followed Landdownunder's lead, and all moved to the adult forum. Then we could still observe the test subject's behavior isolated in his own echo chamber, while removing the potential investigator effect.

PS Perhaps that is too sexist of me to presume that I am the lead researcher and my groupie is the research assistant. Perhaps it is the other way around?

Obsession is a terrible waste of time and so is this thread.

A woman’s role in life is to be the leader, all while letting the man feel he’s the leader so his ego doesn’t suffer. You’re free to carry on 😊

So a thread about a truce is a waste of time.
Coming from the poster who has been one of the most vocal supporters of the war in ukraine. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
