I know you and your snarky tone. Assuming she doesn't, I can kinda see how you could read as a jerk.

Does not excuse her name-calling at all, but if I pretend I don't know you and just read the words, there's a little bit of a feel of Jim's FB Friend (a little) so I can kinda see what might have keyed her off a bit.

(again, not excusing it. you're not an asshole. you're more of nutsack)

Yeah, I need to post there different than here. That was my bad. I still feel the way I do but I couldn't have worded my thoughts much much better. - Bacon Feb 24, 18:44 33
- FWIW, I've always thought you were more well mannered here than on Facebook, which seems kind of backwards. -- nm - Qale Feb 24, 18:46
- Understood, you don't need to apologize for feeling the way you do. - ty97 Feb 24, 18:45 18
  - Well my thoughts are the private sector has been giving for 3 years while the Public Employees retained a status quo. So to catch them up the cuts - Bacon Feb 24, 18:48 17
    - Two completely different animals though. - ty97 Feb 24, 18:56 4
      - That is all good. What would you do though? Raise taxes or cut Public Salaries? - Bacon Feb 24, 18:58 3
        
        Your entire state budget is salaries? - ty97 Feb 24, 18:59 2
        
        If you count pay and retirement is the majority of the budget. - Bacon Feb 24, 19:06
        
        also, raise taxes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 19:00
    - why should public employees suffer because private sector employees might have? - moles Feb 24, 18:51 11
      - Really? The example I used on Facebook was. I have had my wages frozen going on my 4th year. Public Unions in Oregon have had wage increases of 5-7 - Bacon Feb 24, 18:54 10
        
        how is that their fault? - moles Feb 24, 18:55 9
        
        Hilarious -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 18:56 8
        
        Your logic is flawed. Just because you've taken pay freezes doesn't mean someone else should have to. - ty97 Feb 24, 18:59 7
        
        sounds like he's saying that he is tired of having a stagnant salary while having to pay increased taxes to pay for the raises state employed workers - dogbert Feb 24, 19:09 5
        
        Doesn't sound like his taxes have increased. Sounds like the *could* - ty97 Feb 24, 19:13 4
        
        my taxes have increased. DMV license is up. Gas tax is up. I could go on and on. Trust me they have raised our taxes and fees over the last three - Bacon Feb 24, 19:17 3
        
        fees are not taxes. Republicans know that -- nm - moles Feb 24, 19:19 2
        
        It's money out of my pocket to pay for Government. = TAX. You did see my IM with my $700 property tax increase right? -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:21 1
        
        (he was being sarcastic) -- nm - loosilu Feb 24, 19:22
        
        My comparision is valid. The only way to keep them in the same great situation is to raise taxes on me. OR they can share the pain with the rest of - Bacon Feb 24, 19:01
- keep in mind your audience as well. Most of CCC's buds are thin-skinned lefties like him. -- nm - loosilu Feb 24, 18:44 12
  - Nice. You have to paint a broad stroke about CCC's friends -- nm - amoxy Feb 24, 19:09
  - well, and its arguing with a stranger. friends of friends are not your friends. - TFox Feb 24, 18:57 9
    - I agree, but my favorite FB moment ever is an STer lighting up my ex-boss. :) - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 19:15
    - Most of my friends would not go off like that, even if someone posted a strong opinion. - loosilu Feb 24, 19:00 3
      - in general, if i noticed that happening, i'd either delete the arguer's comments, or delete the entire post. - TFox Feb 24, 19:02 2
        
        yeah, I had to smack him down. -- nm - loosilu Feb 24, 19:02 1
        
        Oh, and there was that one time CCC and Mrs CCC got into an argument, ON MY WALL. - loosilu Feb 24, 19:03
    - I admit, there have been one or two times where I was really, REALLY tempted to light up a friend of a FB friend but I decided - what wiggie meant to say Feb 24, 19:00 3
      - SFAN. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 24, 19:03 1
        
        oh c'mon, you meant to say it. -- nm - TFox Feb 24, 19:03
      - i've occasionally posted a Snopes link or something to diffuse obvious silliness, but always in a "excuse the intrusion but.." way. -- nm - TFox Feb 24, 19:03
  - Took the words out of my mouth. At least I figured out who bacon is. - spamlet Feb 24, 18:55
