A interesting tweet from a indigenous friend

Oh there’s your nickname AB!

Finally. I think I've earned that one I will wear it with pride. And my Scottish ancestors would be equally proud.
Thank you chuck. I promise not to let you down, and live up to my new nickname.

I think McHuff would be more appropriate.

By the way why aren't you out fighting fires or seeding?

No need to be condescending when you get grouchy.

I just finished my seeding for the day a hour ago and it’s rained here. We’ll see what fires pop up over the weekend as the temperature rises but I have a train to load Sunday so I won’t be seeding OR fire fighting.

Wanna tell me how I should load a train too?

We were out fighting fires a week or two ago, couple of us Farmers brought our tractors and implements to help stop a grass fire, all the neighbors were there with shovels etc. Along with the fire department, kept it away from their house. Fire department was grateful for all the help, the homeowners were overwhelmed with gratitude. Things are greening up now, and we've had some rain in the past few days, the worst of the fire hazard might be behind us now. But thank you for asking.
As for seating, thanks to the miracles of modern technology such as smartphones and mobile data and voice to text, I can troll you and seed all at the same time. In fact, you can mark your calendar by this, any of the days when I make a lot of posts at your expense, it is because I am entertaining myself while trundling around in a tractor or combine or dozer, or hauling dirt or manure.

Yeah I know I like to rub my points in and give the knife an extra twist. But I often get the same response to my points when I try to be nice. So with this crowd there is not much chance to woo them with nice.

And funnily many of the Agrisilly faithfull love Crypto Polly and Donald Trump for their abrasive cutting attacks. And partake in the abrasive themselves.

So I think the real reason I am not liked, is many on this site don't like my opinions.

Fair enough. So the LOLs and tone aren't the real problem are they? Just another distraction. LOL

got it finally yeah yeah im not the sharpest chisel in the set.

Glenn is trying to woo us.

Mind can only boggle why.i often wonder the reason he posts actually at all on agriville but its woo us. Im relieved one of lifes great mysteries has been solved.

Well that explains the cutesy nicknames like Hammy and Willy.
Apparently they should be flattered not offended.

In many rural small towns nick names are the norm. When people use them I often wonder who they are talking about? It gets confusing. Better to use first names.

And nobody calls me chuckles or any thing different than chuck chuck when they want to make a point? I am the only one breaking the "libertarian" rules?

What do you guys want on social media? Roberts rules of order? Madam chair, on a point of order I would like to bring up Chucks abrasive tone. LOL

What do you guys want on social media?

Thank you for asking.
What I want, is a formidable debating opponent. Someone who is willing to take the other side of the debate and do so in an intelligent civil mature sometimes humorous matter. Someone who shows humility, concedes a point at least occasionally, however begrudgingly.
Someone who doesn't deflect and invent strawman arguments whenever the debate goes against him. Someone who doesn't resort to childish insults and name calling.
Someone who treats his fellow forum members with as much respect as he wants to receive in return. Someone who does their own original research, and posts in their own words. Someone who at least makes an effort to answer the uncomfortable question.
I don't think that's too much to ask, is it?

Look in the mirror and at your own record. Did you meet all those very high standards? I don't think so. Your record and words speak for themselves.

How can a self admitted troll that enjoys trolling set such high standards for everybody but himself? There seems to be a disconnect between what you say and do.

Next time you see dml, ask him about that. We disagreed about most things, but managed to have civil respectful debates. Often conceding when the other side had made a valid argument. I don't believe we ever devolved into insults or name calling.

You may want to read my post again. You may have missed the part about treating other posters with as much respect as they offer.
I have made this offer before. I promise to treat you with at least as much respect as you treat everyone else with.
