After he a string of posts completely dishonestly representing a claim that Brett Kavanaugh has told many, many, clear and obvious lies under oath, he puts this cherry on top of that shit pile in an attempt to claim the moral high ground. > [@The Kavanaugh Effect.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-kavanaugh-effect/824189/272): > > _shrug_ I’m confident that I’ve demonstrated my point to the less-stridently-partisan readers. ---

I don’t think it’s worth it to engage with him. He’s just too dishonest to have any sort of reasonable discussion with. ---

Jesus what an obnoxious piece of shit, to someone complaining about their possibly hostile workplace: > [@Politically hostile work environment, or over-sensitivity?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/politically-hostile-work-environment-or-over-sensitivity/829125/76): > > I don’t mean to put too fine a point on it, but you seem resentful of your employer because you apparently lack the marketable skills to find employment elsewhere and / or the financial means to weather the transition. Given those apparent circumstances, I’d suggest you might try having a bit more gratitude towards your employer for providing you the means to support your family that you apparently can’t obtain elsewhere. ---

Remember that election bet I had with him, where he was supposed to donate $140 to the ACLU? He claims he did so, but I never received any email confirmation. So either he is lying or the intern opening the envelopes at the ACLU office screwed up. The chance of it being the second is large enough that I won’t accuse him of anything. If I had to guess, though… ---

The chance of it being the second is large enough that I won’t accuse him of anything. If I had to guess, though… Did you say ACLU, or American Civil Liberties Union? Given the way that he likes to “misunderstand” others, I wouldn’t put it past him to have “misunderstood” the nature of the bet, and instead, gave the $140 to A Close Living Uncle. ---

Here’s what the disingenuous idiot had to say about the admonishment to take such insulting language to the Pit: > [@Politically hostile work environment, or over-sensitivity?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/politically-hostile-work-environment-or-over-sensitivity/829125/94): > > I understand the admonishment and will endeavor to adhere to it (by avoiding comments that come across as “demeaning enough to be in personal attack or insult territory”), but wasn’t a poster banned for doing exactly this (restricting himself to only the Pit) recently? Restricting himself only to the Pit. As though that was directed. Fuck that guy. ---
