Does #37 have an effect on this assessment? @\*\*septimus \*\*- I realize you offered this loosely in response to ongoing discussions, but this is a hijack and it’s out of place in this forum to personalize discussion in this fashion. You seem to have a fixation on this particular point. I have previously cautioned you against bringing this up in unrelated threads else you be warned for harassment: > [@Dems - Defend your Senators holding the budget bill hostage](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dems-defend-your-senators-holding-the-budget-bill-hostage/806968/181): > > I considered issuing a warning for this given my previous note in post #166, but I am open to the possibility it wasn’t crystal clear. McVeigh isn’t germane to this thread. Introducing it in this fashion is akin to harassment. Don’t do this any further. > > [/moderating] After that instruction, you proceeded to bring it up several times. In chronological order: > [@Should Antifa violence be condemned?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-antifa-violence-be-condemned/819902/280): > > Oh, _ **Hurricane** _. I remember you! > > Have we asked the liberals whether they can condemn Timothy McAntifa’s mass murder of 169 people in Oklahoma? Sure, that massacre committed by a liberal crusader wasn’t entirely unreasonable, and hardly as egregious as petite Yvette Felarca’s oh-so-very-unreasonable shoving of a Nazi; but you’d think these liberal hypocrites would at least offer a token apology. They got their panties twisted when despicable Heather Heyer threw herself in front of a Nazi car which couldn’t stop in time, but can’t quite bring themselves to admit McAntifa’s mass murder in Oklahoma wasn’t entirely reasonable. Sheeeeesh. How can you pro-Nazis put up with this place? > [@President Donald Trump: "Democrats Produce Mobs, Republicans Produce Jobs"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/president-donald-trump-democrats-produce-mobs-republicans-produce-jobs/823233/174): > > To paraphrase OP when he was applauding the [patriotic gesture of Tim McVeigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing), I’m not entirely sure that Mr. Ditka is entirely … > > [deleted] > [@Commonality of the Political Spectrum?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commonality-of-the-political-spectrum/821334/17): > > Too optimistic?

Would that be entirely unreasonable? > [@Did Pelosi just un-invite Trump from the State of the Union?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-pelosi-just-un-invite-trump-from-the-state-of-the-union/827898/355): > > Once upon a time it wasn’t entirely unreasonable to think some of the posts from you two were not entirely unreasonable.

Do not do this again. \*\* [/moderating] --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/constructive-political-compromise-possible-desirable/841983)._
