Michigan Mother Disappears From Late Night Shift

You are new to his tactics...in fact when I saw you offer your sympathies I wanted to tell you save it, he's not interested. That's why I said what i said in my reply.

He also does not want a discussion...he wants you and all of us to know that he resents WW getting coverage more than BW/BP. But if he stopped to ASK about it instead of MOCK it, he may LEARN there might possibly be other dynamics at work also than just the blanket "THE WHITE MEDIA IS RACIST! Y'all.'

Like you said, who the hell wants to discuss when he comes charging out the gate like that. And he had the nerve to bitch about Iggy's headers. smh.

I hear you, and I certainly am new to his tactics. I think he often times has great topics for discussion, they're just delivered in an undesirable way. I actually enjoy talking to the kid, even though I know how most conversations will end. Yes, TDK lacks respect sometimes, but honestly he's not the only one. The difference with him is just that he doesn't sugarcoat his comments to try and make them seem less insulting then they actually are.

How are you new to his tactics but then think he oftentimes has great topics for discussion? Have you met some of his topics? Get to know them.

The sarcastic way you approached her case was offensive. Who gives a fuck if she's white? Right now, her family and friends are going through hell. The topic of missing ww getting more media attention than the cases of other races can be discussed without bringing in this woman. Cite examples all you want in that discussion, but you made it seem that all of us who were offering prayers and good thoughts for her safe return, were being fake. That was offensive.

As in other cases, you have a very valid topic of discussion, but you lack the skills to start an educated discussion/debate.

Look how GL starts threads in the news section. He posts the link, then remains neutral until others chime in. I think that tactic has been successful. You piss people off from the get go and no one wants to converse with you about the original topic.

Just my thoughts.

We all fell in the trap. Some of us remain.:o I have never denied this, either. :?
I even once begged you to save me!

But seriously, the only reason I engage at all is not to possibly change his mind (lost cause), but to try to counter his crap for those who may be looking to join and understand it's NOT a haven for White bashing, or IR bashing or a militant site.

It unquestionably benefits IR and the Forum in general when dealing with any racial/gender obstacles if disingenuous insult headers were left at the door. We don't need him to "be deliberately distasteful" to discuss here, as he admitted to doing. We aren't stupid adults.

The most productive dialogue always emanates from the respectful threads. They may start out as sleepers but they survive the long-haul instead of further fracturing this site's overall intent with ignorance. Of course he fails to grasp that.

Excellent post.... but I'm so tired of y'all entertaining dumb ass threads, just let them die out.

Just because I don't post everywhere he posts doesn't mean I haven't read a lot of what he's written. I'm new to this whole board, so many people are still relatively unfamiliar to me. I agreed with you about the fact that I'm "new to his tactics", based solely on the amount of time I've been on here, compared to you (my assumption being that you know him better than I). You're certainly entitled to your opinion of his posts, as am I. As I've said before, I don't agree with how he approached this topic, but his point about who the media gives air time to is cause for discussion.
 
Tactics? You people act as if I have an agenda lol. If all you're interested in is scolding me save it. While what happened to this girl is criminal it bodes to a bigger issue and my title suffices. Missing young white woman equals national attention on a 24comic hr news cycle. Why? In this supposed age if racial equality why don't we see the face of Tanisha Williams. A lot of you have black kids on this forum and thought this might upset you too. And I regret to say maybe I am callous about my delivery because the sugar coated method just to get to a point seems incredibly insincere. Certain things are a given like her poor family etc etc so why must I preface shit with I hope she's alright when the point is to highlight another topic. We did this with Sandy Hook and gun control as Stubenville with rape culture. We quickly shift from the "poor" victims to make our points. I just have enough respect to be honest about it.
Loki great video sir.

If you "have read a lot of" his 25,000+ posts as you claim, then why 'AGREE that you were new to his tactics". His tactics and his topics are NEVER mutually exclusive. But oddly you didn't pick up on that.

Except here of course, since you said so in both your posts when you berated his tactic at his attempted topic.
So either you've ignored his tactics that you claim to be unaware of even after reading a lot of his stuff (until this thread of course), or you were being disingenous when you agreed that you were new to it.

Bliss what is your issue? Why are you making this more than what it is? You're coming across abrasively for no reason. She agrees with you Im the bad guy.

I'm not the one with the issue or making more of what it is. For that, see Header and Thread starter.
Oh look, it's you.

Prayers to her and her family. Still waiting for yours.

For what Bliss? Personally I think she's dead. Now its a race to catch the killer and finding the body.

Apparently I'm going to have to break this shit down again...

Being new here, I'm new to everyone's ways. I'm definitely getting a feel for people's attitudes around here, but I'm no where as familiar with people's 'tactics' as someone who's been here for years.

Typically, I have no problem with TDKs posts...they are what they are. You know exactly what you're going to get with him, and if anything I appreciate the fact that he doesn't bullshit around his views as some others here do. The only time I take issue with him is when he makes shit personal, or as in this case when he seems to lack all compassion. You coming after me questioning me about all this shit deters the conversation from where it should've been in the first place...race playing a factor in media air time.

Wrong. I don't agree with how you presented the issue, but I do agree its worth discussing. Your blunt way of headlining this thread isn't my style, but it doesn't make the topic any less valid.
 
Lolz fanny getting under people's skin an on their last nerve since dec 2009

My sympathies to her family

People are trying but get almost no traction. I wonder what it is about skin that can make people so callous. How can people just deem hundreds of thousands of missing kids or adults not worthy of attention based simply on skin tone.
