I never told anyone what to think of another poster, my issue is with you always stanning for him and telling other posters what to think of him and ignoring all other evidence. The post I responded to was exactly that, you're telling a poster what his motivations are when he constantly has said the opposite and then did it again in this very thread. I don't really care what you personally think of him but I am going to push back on any narrative trying to claim he is only trying to spark discussion and then you were trying to plead ignorance of anything else. You keep saying what you want and O's is the reason there are not more of those type of conversations because he derails them or does not respond when people try and engage him. He is the chief derailer, yet you have no issue with him, why?
I mean, if it gets proven Trump was selling/trading (I was gonna say "giving" but who am I kidding) American security secrets (especially nuclear) to somewhere like Russia or Saudi Arabia, I can't say I wouldn't want his ass hung either.
I didn't see any mention of Trump there. Do you disagree that people who sell or deliver nuclear secrets to adversaries should be executed? I think being against execution in that case is a legitimate moral position for one to have, but I kind of doubt most people on the Right (including anti-Trump generals) share that view.
Lines like why don't you have an issue with someone comes off as you telling people they should have an issue with someone. I apologize if that isn't your intent. I was telling someone that saying people to F off isn't the point of D&D. I then shared my experiences. I never told anyone what to think. I didn't say what he was trying to do or not do. I said that my impression was that was what he was trying to do. He confirmed it. That doesn't mean he or any of us are always successful in all of our endeavors and goals on text message board where so much is always left open to interpretation. I think too much time has already been spent singling out an individual poster and talking about them. I am aware that Os has done that to Deb. I don't like it. Others have done it to her as well. I think that's wrong, too. I'm here because it is entertaining and fun to discuss topical issues. I will take issues with people including Os on those topics. It isn't entertaining for me to get involved one way or the other in personal drama. I don't feel any of us have a real sampling of people based on words typed into a message board. It is like the difference between an impressionistic portrait or even an abstract portrait and a photograph. One portrait gives you an idea of the image and the other gives you a much more realistic idea of the image. So I don't try to make any more judgments about people on a message board than I would about the subject of an impressionist or abstract painting. Perhaps, I sometimes get dragged into that. But it really isn't relevant, and nobody should take any judgments seriously from me or anyone on this message board. We aren't solving the world's problems here. At best we are exchanging ideas. At worst, it's an insult fest. But all of this talk about an individual poster isn't entertaining. I have said, that I don't like him or anyone else trolling, bullying or anything else to other posters. None of us are perfect. We all get carried away sometimes. I will comment from time to time on my experiences with a poster, and if they are positive, I would hope that others could also have a positive experience. If I suggested something, it was only in the hopes of trying to move things in the positive direction.
Dude you've been here 20 years. You don't owe anyone an explanation for how you feel about certain posters.
“So what if I was taking bids from foreign powers on classified information over nuclear weapons? Do we know that Obama and Hillary didn’t do the same!?!?!? Witch Hunt!!”
Trump has asked for the leaks. He wants it all to come out, even though he could release everything. Trump sought the publicity by making the search warrant public. The FBI/DOJ didn't leak for months and months of Trump lying and not complying with subpoena's. The DOJ didn't make the warrant and search public. Donald Trump did. Whining about publicity from it now, doesn't really hold any water.
