Whether Koko has an unhealthy fixation or not on Obama, there are some who have an unhealthy fixation on Koko and his unhealthy or healthy fixation on Obama.

It makes no difference.

Either way, still not right.

I'll give you an example...


Little kid that's 8 years old is all about Star Wars. He talks about it, plays with star war figurines, almost lives and breathes it at school.

Yet he gets picked on by kids at school. Talked about behind his back. Told that there is something wrong with his head.


He comes to me and cries and doesn't understand why the other kids don't like him.

There is a pretty big difference between playground antics and adults discussing politics. At least in my view it is. You want to discuss bullying? Start a thread.

Sorry that the "8 year old Star Wars boy" had issues with his classmates. Grade school kids can be ruthless. All of this could cause the Star Wars boy to sink deeper into his Star Wars world. In turn, he becomes more detached from his classmates, and the whispers grow louder.

Also, stick around and you'll figure out who's the trolls around here. It'll be an eye opener to you, Dgirl101.

The blockhead kid ought to get a clue.

Who are you referring to? Since you are saying 'kid' I'm assuming it's the little boy? If so, why call him a blockhead? What does that prove? What does that show for your character? Do you know the kid? Do you know that he goes to a old woman's house as often as he can and helps her with yard work because he cares about her?

True. Hence the reason why I am teaching my son the "8 year old star wars boy" not to take it to heart but he is sensitive at this point because of what is going on in his life.

Adults discussing politics, discuss politics. They don't have a two-sided conversations with hidden innuendoes and insults or snickering, nor do they use fancy words to tell someone they are an idiot. Nor do they hint that there is something wrong with opposing sides mind.

If everyone believes that there is something wrong, why do they encourage that person by responding that way? Why repeatedly say it? Are they grasping what everyone is telling them?

If not, noone can change it. The only way it will happen is the person in question has to do it themself.

I have, more than you know. The trolling is happening from both sides. I'm not blind, or stupid. If I come off as trolling I sure as hell want someone to tell me and I will take the time to look at myself. People don't like to face the truth about themselves and tend to get defensive and lash back.

I was slow on uptake earlier today and I didn't realize that this is about your son.

awful to hear that he's being picked up for being Star Wars fanboy. I'm assuming that you have explained to him already. Has situation changed now?

What inspired you to post in this thread, if you have been reading and lurking? Just curious. My original comment was not exactly an attack on the original poster. It was a tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor. I can see it failed in your case. No worries.

Likewise, my comment on Koko's smelling fear when it came to Obama was intended to be a parody of koko's comments on smelling fear when we tell other posters why we don't like some conservatives.

I tend to make jokes about things that annoys me. I don't mind people commenting negatively on politicans I like - after all, it would be unreasonable to expect everyone to like the same people that I like.

But when someone becomes fixated on a certain politician and digs up all the negative stuff while ignoring the negative stuff regarding his favorite politicans, it gets annoying especially if it happens day in and day out. It will get old fast. It has gotten to the point where I will ignore anything koko has to say about Obama even when its legit.

Also, I get the impression that Koko thinks that we all should think like him and to me that is a big no no in my book. I don't know if it's just me or if he's trying to bully some of us to think more like him. I will grant he's not the only one but he's the most vocal one thus far.

Would that be:
  1. The non-Conservative mob making fun of Koko
  2. Koko and Conservatives making fun of Obama (how he throws, how he bows, how he rides a bike, how he sits) among other constant attacks?
Choose carefully.

No, no change. Still doing what I can.

Did I specifically target you? There is a reason why I said it in general and not targeting any one person or people in particular.

I read the thread. I didn't like the fact that things were being said unkindly and how often I see it everywhere else.

And no...I dont think Kokonut is an angel. Some of his threads I disagree with or some of his comments and I have stated my opinion if he doesn't like it....fine, if he does great!

Why bother with the comment 'Think their marriage will turn out well?' Do you think it is really neccessary to respond like that when you just said you have reached the point that you will ignore anything he has to say?

But it is okay for you to talk like that about him?

This is what I constantly see. The same people again and again against one person. A 'group' (consisting or three or more people) on one person.

I call that a mob mentality.

I've said my piece. You all may respond if you like, and we can agree to disagree.
 
I didn't want to respond while you still had post number 666. ;)
 
DGirl, you do know Kokonut makes comments about other ADers on his blog and on the other Deaf forum right? I haven't seen anyone do that here unless provoked. That's why people have a beef with him. I don't have an issue with him blogging about people behind their backs, but to others, it comes across as stalking sometimes.
