I just saw ten new topics by TB that have to do with bashing anything related to Islam or ME people.

This is getting old.

She hasn't even researched ANYTHING. She is picking out the worst articles about them she can find.

She is doing not independent researching, no looking for the other side of the story, and has no data or back up for the assumptions and assertions she makes from these articles.

This is very annoying to me, and I'm sure other intelligent people who look further into a subject than headlines.

Anyone agree?

Yup. Her Xenophobia is showing...

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 04:48 am

Most of the articles I posted were news articles reporting facts. It isn't my fault that Islamic terrorists are especially active these couple of weeks. I didn't make the news. They did.

**Matt W** · Jun 1, 2005, 04:52 am

No, but you're doing a damn good spin doctor job.

Nono · Jun 1, 2005, 05:00 am

In real life tiny's actually governor of Xinjiang. (HK my ass, eh?)

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 05:17 am

The governor of Xinjiang is Muslim, Nono. OK, he's a commie as well. But he is Muslim nonetheless.

Clumsy Chinese cosmetics. :)

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 05:19 am

Yeah. His name's Ismail Tiliwadi.

**Pooeypants** · Jun 1, 2005, 05:21 am

Okay, so now we have a pointless thread pointing out the pointless of threads.

Yeah...you 'eard.

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 05:31 am

I heard, but I don't understand. What are you trying to say?

**Pooeypants** · Jun 1, 2005, 05:41 am

Said what I did to mean what I said. I shall not repeat myself once more.

**Matt W** · Jun 1, 2005, 05:48 am

Circular arguments, tb. Dull, pointless, and still showing your predjudice. You're getting somewhat repetitive.

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 05:49 am

What circular arguments?

What circular arguments?

Questions with Questions. Do you work for the government? I'd say you'd make a good politician considering your ability to not answer questions.

**Matt W** · Jun 1, 2005, 05:55 am

See my 'spin doctor' comment above.

tinybear · Jun 1, 2005, 05:56 am

Matt said I used circular arguments. I asked him what circular arguments. That's not 'questions with questions'. That's seeking clarification. :)

Hardly spin doctoring. I was commenting and inviting debate on the current events of the past week. It so happens that most of these events are about murderous Islamic terrorists killing innocent people. What can I say?

**Pooeypants** · Jun 1, 2005, 06:01 am

Circular arguments are ones where you cite yourself as proof.

Often, you'd cite your assumptions as proof of your comments. You're backing up yourself with...yourself.

No wait, that sounded dirty...

Sure, TB is a bigot. That isn't the real problem. Tiny Bear has consistently shown a fondness for the sensational. One aspect of this is a consistently anti-Muslim slant but hardly limited to that.

She is sloppy and superficial. She posts links without reading them so she has posted at least one wildly anti-Semitic link which she claims she was unaware of. Her comments tend toward one-liners. She creates clutter.

Usually any thread touched by the bear degenerates into uninteresting one liners, as indeed is the case with this thread as well. Personally I generally try to avoid her stuff. It just isn't worth it, in most cases. Most responses to any thread touched by the bear are a waste of time, including this one, no doubt.

I had sex with the governor of Xijiang. He was real cool-like, yo!
