I don’t know if you witnessed this little exchange in this Great Debates thread…Ditka was dishing out his oh so measured concern trolling about how the mean violent nasty liberals hate the Good and decent real America that is embodied in the personages of Donald Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders and how anyone that doesn’t agree with him is mentally…yadda yadda yadda, you know the words. It’s his whole freaking shtick. Then this exchange ensued.

Or your guns. Or your gold or MRE’s. Not in a million years. We can’t be freaking bothered. Although I do wish someone would break your “report” button.

The guy is a new parent, and reacted strongly to you talking about his kid. I see that your intent was to use his child as a proxy for all children with parents who believe the child can do no wrong, and analogize that to uncritical acceptance of the Trump government or America as a whole. But in my view, that would have been better served by saying, "Hey, parents: if you want to treat your kid like you treat the country, then: . . . " and gone from there. You would have retained the rhetorical device but avoided the personalization inference. Just a thought. ---

And noting his fondness of Trump and the aforementioned extremists who also just so happened to be white supremacists, I suspect he longs for a reason to shoot black and brown people. In my experience, most folks who long to shoot people are cowards IRL and spend their fantasy and bluster online. So in that sense, perhaps the Dope is a good place for him to vent all this disgusting crap, and maybe he’s not so odious in real life. For his family’s sake, I hope that’s the case. ---

I’ve long known that **HurricaneDitka** is a sanctimonious hypocrite, demanding civil discourse while – very politely – inhumanely denigrating minorities and three-quarters of the countries in the world as beneath contempt. The perfect, ignorant, bigoted Trumpista, really. What I don’t know is whether his various bigoted rantings are just empty bluster or whether he’s actually dangerous IRL. On the infrequent occasions when I bother to read **HurricaneDitka** ’s posts, I read them in the voice of [Dr. Evil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Evil), which is perfect because he’s far too stupid to be a Bond villain, but is a pretty good parody of one. I can picture him petting a white cat as he sits by his computer, pounding away on his keyboard insisting on polite discourse because you WILL NOT use bad words in the presence of Fluffy just because you don’t like **HD** ’s declarations about how useless immigrants from shithole countries are. ---

When Rachellogram called my wife neurotic, I landed on her ass hard. Because she said, specifically, [Your wife soundsneurotic](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13560339&postcount=17), in a thread about my family. (But I sure didn’t go all cut-out magazine type and 49-point font on her (assuming).) However, when in another thread (damned if I can find it) another poster asked me about a hypothetical about my daughter, I answered it knowing full well that it was a hypothetical and not an “attack” on Sophia. HD purposely went off on a rage not because he was offended but merely because by doing so he didn’t have to answer the question. His rage at the made-up offense afforded him the opportunity to not only ignore the overall point but to paint himself as a victim. And if his rage _was_ sincere… which I don’t believe for an instance, but whatevs, there may be a \<2% chance it was… then HD needs to grow up and be a man and not a butthurt little snowflake who _hides behind his own baby as to avoid answering questions on a message board._ And to answer your question, Ann: no. If my kid did something wrong, I wouldn’t look for things that kid #2 did to excuse the actions that kid #1 performed. You know who would, though? Kid #1, because that sort of reaction is what one expects out of immature people. Like kids. And, it seems, HD and other connedservatives. ---

Which I don’t really get. I know him and rest of his idiot militia cohort have been convinced that liberals are capable of all kinds of evil, but I’m not literally a witch and it’s not like I can cast a spell on his kid to turn him into a Democrat by mentioning him 3 times on a message board while I boil the blood of a conservative, or something. Only Bernie Sanders can do that.🙂 ---
