Calling an entire political party stupid and clowns as your opening line is an odd choice. I posit your invitation prompted you to start off by throwing out a huge blanket insult. Now you seem quite wounded that people came back at you. You aren't all innocent and blameless here. The OP said that the Dem candidates are clowns, not their voters. Trump is labelled far worse on a daily basis here.

Now you seem quite wounded that people came back at you. You aren't all innocent and blameless here. Are you saying that if I peruse the threads here, I won't find one blanket insult about Republicans? You chose to make your introductory post an insult. And that was my first impression of you. It influenced our first interaction. Now you are defensive and lashing out, unable to see what portion of this was your own choosing. There are a lot of blanket statements here, but very few of them are someone's introductory post.

Trump is labelled far worse on a daily basis here. And Democrats are so stupid to elect them. And who elects people? Voters. Which I am one of. So Peachy's very first post called me stupid. I am reacting accordingly.

Just like the RNC absolutely did not chose Trump. They were stuck with him by voters.

So you admit that you came in here calling democratic voters stupid?

Btw, personal attacks against me will not go unchallenged, so don't dish it out if you can't take it. Whatever you say. Just know that you'll be first to go.

Moon/laura is the owner of the board. The mods were elected by members but I don't remember when we did it last.
This board started as a financial board. It's evolved as time has gone by.
But welcome.
Well, I saw the name 'Your Money...' and that's why I registered. I want my money! Your introduction suggests otherwise. FWIW, we’re generally a friendly group, and we tend to give new members a warm welcome. New members don’t usually introduce themselves to the community with controversial or combative posts either though. People who do that tend to have a motive unrelated to discussing “money” topics. Where I’m from, it’s considered bad manners to come into someone’s home, literally or figuratively, and introduce oneself in a way that could so easily be considered offensive or rude, as the OP here can be. It’s also bad manners to come in and be demanding of your host(s) immediate attention, which is how you came across with your demands efforts to have your questions answered. We are all allowed to think whatever of moonbeam and the mods here (personally, I have no issue with any of them and appreciate moonbeam for keeping our little community together, and the mods for helping her), but we should all have enough respect to try to behave like good guests in this “home” moonbeam has provided for us. That’s just my opinion though. If we “misread” your OP and misunderstood your intentions, keep posting and we’ll figure it out. In the meantime, I hope that if you give it some thought, you can understand the reason(s) for the reactions you’ve received so far.

@pinkcshmere, you've said what I've been thinking! If you're a guest somewhere, you don't act like a rude jerk and expect to be liked or invited to come back. In fact, you're basically asking to be ejected.

DNC didn't chose him. The voters did. And that wasn't stupid? "I'm running for senate." Joe Biden in 2020 On the American Revolutionary war: “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,” trump, July 4th, 2019.

You must have come in hot to get this type of reaction. Your guess is as good as mine. All I did was describe myself in the OP and almost immediately got attacked for no reason. But I'm the troublemaker. Well it sure ain't any one else here as far as I can see...If the shoe fits.....

The common theme seems to be your dishonesty, insults and attitude. I don't even like some of the people that are seeing the situation as I do. So, it isn't a mean girls gang up. It is multiple people assessing the situation and coming to a common conclusion.

Lol By the way, I think you just pulled the 'dishonesty' bit out of your ass.

Lol By the way, I think you just pulled the 'dishonesty' bit out of your ass. I just saw the title of this board and had to join. I was invited to this board. I can't wait to discuss money. Here are all my political beliefs - none of which relate to the economy or my money. You don't come across as trustworthy. Maybe you are in real life, but you have not been so here.

Maybe you are in real life, but you have not been so here. That's true until I was sidetracked by the personal attacks of the circle jerk crew. The first reply to my OP was the correct one, but someone decided to lodge a personal attack and derail the thread.

I thought cliques would have to communicate with one another, hang out, stuff like that? I'm friends with Thyme on FB, but that's about the extent of it. I really don't understand this clique comment. I just post what I think and don't consult anyone else.

Let's just say you qualify then. AFAIK, only Democrats have attacked me. If you aren't a Democrat and are a completely unbiased observer, then I apologize for assuming you are one of those who are biased.
