A video (barely) parodying the reaction of many Christians to disagreement

I think the histrionics systemic to internet debate vis a vis religion is reasonably represented; though at a somewhat elevated level.

The histrionic one seems to have a brain defect of some kind.

Yeah, again a video that is way too exaggerated. I don't disagree with what it is saying, it is just way too over the top to be effective. What this video really seems to be going for, just like the "reverse racism" video, is to get a bunch of people who agree with it to go "Yeah, that is how they are!" and high-five each other.

I laughed when I read this. This isn't P&N you know

It's not the best Darkmatter video, but I think it does a good job at condensing many a conversation into one.

Maybe you are doing what the guy in the link did, experiencing some sort of an attack that isn't there. Just something to consider. When I said some sort of brain defect you supplied what kind you thought I must have meant even if you got it correct, no?

No, I did not experience what you posted as an attack. I thought what you posted was funny b/c he did appear to have a brain defect which is what you are always talking about, so in this case it was right. Take it at face value.

Also, you have been reminded this isn't P&N before, so it was 2 completely separate thoughts. I thought you have forgotten again and slipped over... which is also funny to me.

Yeah it does sound like some things I have heard but it presents like a school child drawing of a disliked teacher.

OK. My problem is that I did know where I was, not that I can't make another mistake, but that I saw nothing un- discussion club about what I said. It was intended to be funny. The persons reaction in the link is the same reaction I describe and get ridiculed for in denial in P & N and which I therefore provoke to demonstrate is actually factual for anybody who can see it.

My interest is in just this phenomena of defensiveness based, I would contend, on ego defensiveness in its panoply of manifestations.

Yep. I've gotten similar hissy-fit reactions from liberals, conservatives, atheists, and even cat lovers.

Anywhere there is a substitution for the loss of self respect due to put downs
