President Joe Biden

Apologize for what? When you got all huffy, I listed 3 insults that I could have used but didn't out of decency. Then you listed three about me. The difference between the two lists is that anyone who has read this forum for any time knows that your list about me was not believable.

Hilarious. You are a comedian now too. With all the nonsense and coocoos you throw around here. And you think that's just perfectly acceptable. Awful. And then we wonder with behavior like this why the country is in such a mess.
 
Seriously... I had to go back about 7 pages to figure out what this was about.

A comment about a BLM-antifa event with an arrest of an individual who was both unlawful then as he was at the capital.

Can we just agree he’s an accused criminal and move on?

Grace apparently poked fun at the ‘he was BLM’ comment with a ‘that’s racist’ retort to implying BLM is more criminal in behavior than antifa. Downward spiral to here.

espola references posts as ‘coocoo’ or ‘nonsense’, neither of which are ‘not descent’ behavior... dismissive, yes.

I think your last sentence's structure is confusing, but not coocoo or nonsense.

As for G's implications of me being a racist -- she has so far refused to retract and apologize, instead just piling on more unfounded accusations.
 
Oh with me he's done a lot worse....it's the constant needling from not self-aware, so called Con law expert, the clients remark, the constant nonsense, the unhinged. He's clearly been trolling me. In the current thread it actually started with him mocking me for claiming I was a con law expert but making a mistake about the amount needed to remove a rep. I owned up to the error, but asked him not to mischaracterize me as claiming I was a con law expert (which was clearly intended to belittle me). He didn't take the off ramp and doubled down instead claiming I didn't even know the basics.

If he apologizes for that, I'm more than happy to apologize right back and let it go.

I'm just suggesting corrections to your obvious errors. At one point I had to quote the First Amendment, which you don't have to have a specialty on Constitutional law to understand -- it's plain English.

I never accused you of being a racist Magoo. No one would seriously believe that about you. The first was a quip that went totally over your head (because you are so lost and confused)...on a meta level it was a comment about how in our society it's acceptable right now to criticize Antifa but not BLM (hence those of us that conflate leftist violence, hoping to avoid a discussion about racism, just blame Antifa).

The second was a question to you. Do you honestly think this guys jokes about reprogramming the children of Republicans are funny or acceptable. Would you feel the same way about someone making a polish joke, or a Mexican joke? Are those acceptable just because they are "jokes".

I know all this is hard for you to wrap your head around....

Now you are a liar. You know you've been needling me for ever. Everyone here that's seen it knows it. Either you really are Magoo and don't know better, or your just a horrible horrible person. Take your pick.

If you stop making errors and unfounded accusations, I'll stop pointing them out.

Your denial of your race-mongering intent would hold water better if your following comments had not attempted to reinforce them.

I didn't say I agreed with those guys. I said I didn't take them seriously.

And then you depart with another unfounded insult.

Many you really have no clue, do you.

Needling? Is that it? You don't like having your opinions debated?

There is no reason for anyone to think that I am a "horrible horrible person" (Grammarly is suggesting a comma in there, but it's a quote).

There's the debate on the issues which I'm happy to have with you (and as I said from time to time you raise decent points). But you are dismissive, and treat people here with a lack of decency. A person who wants to have an opinion debated doesn't dismiss people with "nonsense" and "cuckoo". A person who wants to have an honest exchange doesn't belittle others. You can't even help yourself with the grammarly stuff. You know what you are doing, I know what you are doing, we all know what you are doing. You aren't interested in honest debate, so here we are.

That said, if you are willing to try harder, always happy to meet you half way. My hand's extended, you just have to take it.

Why half way? I see no reason to retract anything I have posted here.

"try harder"? - just can't help yourself.

So you just want an apology (for something which you couldn't even comprehend), and for me to say I'm wrong, without one from you for your constant needling dismissiveness, without a change to act any better or reform at all? No thanks Magoo troll.

I'll take this as your final refusal to admit to your error.
 
I'll take this as your final refusal to call a truce and meet me half way.

My experience with me not worrying about people not liking me on the internet goes back to here --


I was only a peripheral player in this situation, but I still communicate with online friends I developed then and went skiing or had lunch with some. Usenet is pretty much dead, but we have found each other on FB. They run the full political spectrum, both to the right and left of me.

If you don't give out decency into the world, don't expect decency back. You don't lose anything by being nice to people.
 
Welp...it's over now:


The first time I saw Geraldo was when he was a local TV reporter in New York in 1972. The Navy had sent me to the Grumman factory on Long Island to learn about F-14s. I bought a little 9-inch BW TV so I could watch the Olympics in my boarding-house room (nice Italian landlady downstairs, a couple of beefy Italian guys shared the upstairs with me - I never felt safer). Geraldo at that time was making underground reports on the Willowbrook Mental Hospital - he sneaked onto the grounds at night and filmed and interviewed some of the inmates with no medical people to filter out the mess. The beginnings of a long career for him.
