> [@Martin\_Hyde](#): > > I think it’s possible to be banned for junior modding too. Literally nothing I said was fucking trolling. It isn’t trolling to refute others telling lies about you, for fuck’s sake. Literally none of this discussion would have happened if not for a couple people (Lance, k9b) actually spreading blatant lies about what I have said. That’s the closest thing to trolling in this thread, is people telling deliberate lies about another poster’s arguments Baaah. ---

@Euphonious_Polemic already admitted he was a liar by not taking up my challenge, so I will repost it and make the same to you: > Another liar revealed. I never said the residential schools in Canada and the operation of them, did not constitute cultural genocide. Please provide proof I did that or admit you are a liar and apologize, or shut the fuck up. ---

You made a mistake. Everyone can see that you misattributed a quote. Then you cannot admit to it, so you try to cover up with bullshit. You know this. Everyone can see this. But you then double down on the insults and bullshit. What a fucking idiot. ---

So, what is your goal in defending the actions of Canada and their residential schools? Are you trying to say that genocide isn’t really that bad a thing? ---

It sounds like both of you are in fact admitting I am right, and that I never denied the operation of residential schools was genocide. Could you formally confirm that? ---

The issue of military chaplains is settled, they are never going away, and there’s nothing you can ever do about it. For me to have a “cause” would mean that there’s some sort of issue at hand, this isn’t an issue. It’s like saying one has a “cause” when one recognizes that the United States is never going to change its flag to an orange and black triangle.

I usually like the discussions here, most of the time anyway. But at its core there are always threads like this one that remind that this is a den of groupthink lefties that get really mad and hateful if you disagree with them even in part. ---

“Argle bargle hive mind, sheeple sheeple!” Same story, different poster. Fucking morons. It never enters their tiny minds that they might be shitty communicators if nobody can understand what they are trying to say. Coming into a thread and making excuse after excuse for what was done at residential schools… then batting their eyes and saying oh who me? I never said that there was no genocide. (bat bat). I’m merely excusing all those who perpetrated it. Oh oh, you people all misunderstand me. Poor poor me! See how I’m being picked on. ---

I’ll note this poster has already de facto admitted to lying about what I said once, due to his refusal to provide evidence of his **factual claims about words I have typed**. We can move on from that conceded point. Let’s now explore this: > [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Coming into a thread and making excuse after excuse for what was done at residential schools… Please provide evidence that I have made “excuse after excuse” for what was done at the residential schools.
