Called the cops on a couple of god botherers today [View all] Major Nikon Apr 2023 OP

Why not just not answer the door? hlthe2b Apr 2023 #1

Because I'm not clairvoyant Major Nikon Apr 2023 #4

Peephole? Doorbell camera? Windows? The first has worked for me for decades... hlthe2b Apr 2023 #15

You keep assuming I can somehow magically know their intentions Major Nikon Apr 2023 #21

Funny. I don't have a problem telling elderly women carrying bibles from delivery people. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #26

They weren't carrying bibles and they did claim to have read the ordinance Major Nikon Apr 2023 #45

They all must be losing their congregations! slightlv Apr 2023 #66

I hadn't noticed they were ever anything else Major Nikon Apr 2023 #70

I used to get them quite often in KcK slightlv Apr 2023 #83

It's nice that you think these women are no more informed than children Orrex May 2023 #101

I don't have a problem distinguishing a minor nuisance from a threat, that's for damned sure. hlthe2b May 2023 #102

No, you're appealing to base emotionalism Orrex May 2023 #103

Tolerance includes emotionalism so I'm glad you noticed. hlthe2b May 2023 #104

How about a little kindness, tolerance, understanding for those being awakened progree May 2023 #105

Your post says everything that I don't really think you want others to think about you. hlthe2b May 2023 #108

Come on--that's an obvious red herring Orrex May 2023 #107

Not at all. In the past all of DU sought to be tolerant of others, irrespective of religion. hlthe2b May 2023 #109

The core issue is not their religion, but that they are going door to door bothering a lot of progree May 2023 #111

No shit. Orrex May 2023 #112

They were aware of the ordinance. progree May 2023 #106

Just a hint. Calling others out by name hlthe2b May 2023 #110

LOL Orrex May 2023 #113

You seem angry. hlthe2b May 2023 #114

LOL. That's a tactic of deflection. Orrex May 2023 #115

Not at all. I see those whose health is severely impacted by anger and overreaction to even minor hlthe2b May 2023 #116

I'm not angry, so spare me your presumptuous lecture and your false concern Orrex May 2023 #117

Your words and (over)reaction say otherwise. I'm sorry you are so upset. hlthe2b May 2023 #118

You're projecting Orrex May 2023 #119

That accusation doesn't even make sense. I think you know that. hlthe2b May 2023 #120

That's simply false. Who are you trying to convince? Orrex May 2023 #121

I hope you take some time to self-reflect. hlthe2b May 2023 #122

I will enjoy my Sunday regardless of your wishes. Why is it so important for you that I be angry? Orrex May 2023 #123

It's almost impossible they would be arrested Major Nikon May 2023 #124

Did you miss the part about some people work shifts and sleep during the day??????? progree Apr 2023 #23

I work nights/ER shifts thank you very much so, next? hlthe2b Apr 2023 #27

Read my post again - I added to it progree Apr 2023 #28

Oh so now I get added to the list because I don't want to see old ladies arrested just for hlthe2b Apr 2023 #30

Blah blah blah. Yes I pick my battles. You ought to hear me screaming at someone progree Apr 2023 #37

ROFL hlthe2b Apr 2023 #39

What a joke progree Apr 2023 #43

I thought I was on your list! Oh my! hlthe2b Apr 2023 #46

Yes you are. Getting close to number 1 ranked. progree Apr 2023 #48

THank you. I have no problem being on your list--whatever that means. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #51

I couldn't post here what the title of the list is. progree Apr 2023 #54

I'm sure we'd all like to know. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #55

I told you at least 3 times progree Apr 2023 #63

Provide healthcare in the ER. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #64

Telemarketers and door to door solicitors are not being kind and compassionate progree Apr 2023 #67

We aren't talking salespeople. They are obviously covered under "No Solicitation" hlthe2b Apr 2023 #68

You didn't read the OP, did you? They gave him some backtalk when he explained the ordinance progree Apr 2023 #72

I apparently annoyed you severely with my suggestion of some modicum of tolerance by ignoring them hlthe2b Apr 2023 #74

I explained to you a thousand times now how just ignoring bozos progree Apr 2023 #80

Asked/answered repeatedly. Good night. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #81

wow, you just don't give up do you? Lunabell Apr 2023 #31

I've not engaged with you even once, so you must be confused (nor will I again) hlthe2b Apr 2023 #32

oh, I'm not confused. Lunabell Apr 2023 #33

I'm glad for you. Good to hear. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #35

Bingo! paleotn Apr 2023 #40

Why on earth does this bother you so much? paleotn Apr 2023 #38

No. I said I would ignore them. It is you and a few others who are apparently worked up. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #41

But you keep going on and on and on and on and on and on.... paleotn Apr 2023 #44

Merely responding to the comments. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #57

Aren't people responding to you in this thread Javaman Apr 2023 #62

THis is a discussion thread. Not a front door. The purpose is to discuss. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #65

How about a little tolerance towards those who do not want to be bothered in mass progree Apr 2023 #69

I don't want to be bothered either and apparently you missed the part where I work shifts too. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #71

Yes I acknowledged now a jillion times -- progree Apr 2023 #75

That your buttons are pushed so easily by any/ all suggestion of an alternate more tolerant approach hlthe2b Apr 2023 #77

All points answered repeatedly and explained to you fully. You seem to have some pretty progree Apr 2023 #82

Thank you for proving my point Javaman Apr 2023 #87

Apparently you had no point. Discussion boards are for discussing even if you disagree hlthe2b Apr 2023 #89

I think I have a shovel here some where Javaman Apr 2023 #90

I always appreciate someone that cleans up after themselves, so good on you. Your Mom must be hlthe2b Apr 2023 #91

It's become glaringly apparent that you must have the last word Javaman Apr 2023 #94

Yet, it was you who posted and will likely again. Good heavens. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #95

Shift worker 3auld6phart Apr 2023 #49

As am I. hlthe2b Apr 2023 #52

So your position is everyone should be more like you. Act_of_Reparation Apr 2023 #93

Not at all. Merely asking why that is not the more ready alternative. hlthe2b May 2023 #99

There's an ordinance against it, no doubt passed with popular support. And he had a sign on progree May 2023 #100

what about people are who are leaving candidate literature without knocking (door hangers) TomDaisy Apr 2023 #2

if I couldn't leave literature for our candidates that would be a real problem TomDaisy Apr 2023 #3

Unfortunately that's not covered by the law Major Nikon Apr 2023 #5

Is there any situation where you would not object to someone someone you don't recognize enough Apr 2023 #6

They aren't breaking the law, so no I don't have a problem with them Major Nikon Apr 2023 #10
