I think this line's mostly filler.

I'm confused. If I misinterpreted you, that's one thing.

But are you seriously trying to claim that a moderator (who one can assume knows the criteria for banning) quoting one of those criteria in reference to a poster is too subtle to be interpreted as a reference to banning? If that's subtle, what is the obvious interpretation?

I would not support Redux banning. What has happened is between him and I, just as it has happened between many others.

I accept my responsibility in the exchange but will not waver from my convictions of my statements...

Carry on.

It's not the content, it's the fucking never ending back and forth for pages upon pages. It's like bickering siblings.

So what is your solution?

Allow his propaganda to stand on it's merit?

Don't worry about it because you're the only one that's reading it?

Cry me a river! Now you're the victim here?

How can you seriously and with a straight face talk about propaganda when you flood discussions with more partisan opinions than anyone and try to pass them off as facts?

I provide cites when requested....when I request you to provide cites, your response is "prove my post" is not a fact. And of course if you dont like my non-partisan cities (CBO, GAO, actual language from bills), you call it propaganda.

How can you seriously talk about "fucking arm chair quarterbacks" when you do the same with organizations, the Democratic party, Obama and/or members of Congress that you dont like. You are the ultimate "arm chair quarterback" here, which is your right. The point is your hypocrisy and double standards.

You whine about arm chair quartbacking of Haliburton when you have done the same fucking thing with ACORN.......thats a fact!

All you had to do was say...."you know, you're right...I do what I am criticizing others of doing" and I would have let it pass.

Who spews the hate rhetoric here....characterization people (and parties) you dont like as Nazis and racists?

You know and I know that you cant bullshit me. I'm not part of your family that, for the most part, has chosen to ignore you as a petulant child or cranky old uncle rather than stand up to you.

Bring it on, dude. I'll be on your ass with every partisan post of yours and every example of your hypocrisy and double standards.

Whatever... I will be here to have the "spine" to stand up to the propaganda of the current Administration and those scumbags in Congress who are sending this country to ruin. You guys have been bullshitting the electorate for more than 2 years now.

Whatever? Is that you way of not responding again to the direct points I made?

You do that.

And shame on the silent majority here who wont stand up to the ignorance of characterizing people as Nazis and racists.

I'll be here..looking for your next example of double standards and hypocrisy even if others find it irritating.

And shame on those who do not speak about the current Administration and Party in power who continues to let them down on so many levels.

You should absolutely speak out again the Administration and the Democratic party if you disagree with them.

But present facts (objective cites), not partisan opinions with an agenda, or even worse, hate speech.

Now please tell me how your arm chair quarterbacking of ACORN is any different the the "fucking arm chair" quarterbacks of Haliburton that you decry? Two sides of the same coin, dude....but you just cant admit it.

Explain to me in detail how "I decry ACORN is any different the the "fucking arm chair" quarterbacks of Haliburton".

I didnt expect you to address it.....you cant deny your double standard, so you spin and you twist and you turn and eventually you resort to childish characterizations (tit suckers) or hate speech.

I'm gone for now....but I'll be watching.

Please explain what my assessments about Haliburton are....

that is all I am asking.

You have made an ASS-sumption about some statement you think I made about Haliburton.

Comparing ACORN and Haliburton are like comparing the Girl Scouts to Planned Parenthood. There is no comparison.
