kiddo -- you will better serve this discussion and demonstrate that you have valid argument by presenting facts.

Who is showing bad behavior here?  I only pointed out the mistake you made. You are the one claiming that by me doing such I am somehow harassing you.
 
If you really are unable to grow up and act respectful, then I will back away and ignore you.  I personally would never wish to make a post filled with misinformation and would not be at all upset if someone corrected me over such a thing.  If you wish to live in ignorance above being adult and accepting that you might get it wrong from time to time, then I guess I will let you do such.  It really only makes you look bad, but it is your choice.

I seriously have done nothing at all to warrant you present attitude towards me. Just because I do not agree with your views and in this case I point out the misinformation you posted, does not mean we can't try to at least be adult to one another.

I do not personally remember asking you for an apology. I am accustomed to your bad behavoir.

Do I now need to apologize for showing you that you were mistaken and are passing along misinformation?
 
I seriously keep thinking we are grown ups and that it should be no big deal for me to point out where you made a mistake and not have it be taken as 'harassment'.
 
You call this blog 'Play fair' and yet you seem to refuse to do such and would rather only have comments that say you are right, even if what you present is wrong.  When you blocked me last time it was after I wrote a similar comment, that I tried to be very polite in.  It seems you wish to view me as attacking no matter what I say.
 
It is not my fault that you are using misinformation in your posts.  I would correct anyone who did such, no matter if it is the kind of thing I would agree with or not.  In fact I have done such to my father here on Blogit.
 
I am trying to be respectful and grown up here, and I can only hope you are able to do the same.

p.s. - I do agree with you over the cold indifference shown by both parties
toward the the working poor; a travesty and tragedy indeed. Personally, I don't think a minimum wage hike of a couple of dollars, spread over a few years, will make much difference. A living wage, effective immediately, is needed to fight poverty. My view. Have a nice day, Lady!

Justi, I'm confused by this post?

The House did pass a minimum wage increase on January 10th. It also passed the Senate, but creation into law remains stalled due to haggling between Democrats and Republicans over tax cuts for businesses; a Republican requirement for completion. Ms. Pelosi has no vote in the Senate.

Right on...Say you think old Peloski might come back to work anytime soon? Her vacation after vacations should really be cut short...we have men and women in uniform that have larger issues. I really wish she would just shut her mouth and get to work.

Show me a dem doing what Mother Teresa did (and not just for a one hour photo-op), and I'll be impressed!

Bulllseye, as usual! The dems have been exploiting the poor, as far back as the FDR era! Stand your ground, as I know you will!

Go harrass CNN if you feel so inclined. I haven't the time to be concerned with anything you have to say. Thanks.

Go here for some FACTS
http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/pensions.asp

As always, check your facts before making statements. What you said about congress' retirement benefits is nothing but B.S.

 And congress is actively working on changing the minimum wage. The problem is that too many politicians (Both republican and democrat) are too worried about making sure those companies who have their hands in the politicians pockets benefit more from this than the lower rung employees.

It is incredible how easily those wanting your votes promise and how quickly they forget.

It surely is easier to make promises than it is to keep them.
