> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > I just want to tell you, **Eminent** , I don’t hold all conservatives responsible for your dishonesty and trollishness. I served with lots of liberals and conservatives in the Navy, most of whom were decent folks, so I know better than to lump in all conservatives together just because you’re an asshole. You can be as shitty and dishonest as you want, and it won’t make me think of conservatives any worse. Just you. ‘dishonesty’ This in and of itself is an example of your own dishonesty. I haven’t said or done anything that was dishonest since I’ve been here. If you’re going to make an incendiary claim like that, you sort of have to prove it. I don’t care about your life story, by the way. I don’t hold all leftists responsible for you disingenuous suggestion that left-wing Chavez supporters are just a fantasy. ---

You’re a bit of a simpleton. You don’t have to fawn over the sister of a murderous despot to show appreciation for the possible thawing of relations. That’s just absurd. ‘Are you saying that…’ Mike Pence made a conscious effort to ignore her, in contrast to the American media’s approach of kissing her feet ‘And she’s kinda attractive…’ This shows where your mind is at. ---

You meant to say ‘let me be accurate’. That’s unfortunate. I thought leftists pride themselves on being empathetic. Why does it matter whether you give a rat’s ass? Think of others, you selfish Randian pig. ---

You called left-wing Chavez supporters imaginary. That was a lie. Ah, so after lying about Obama and Romney (he didn’t criticize mitt for saying Russia was “a threat”), and dishonestly implying that leftists, as opposed to one leftist, or a very few, once praised Chavez, now you’re lying about me. That’s normal, from a troll. Go on trolling, troll. ---

Look, Trumplicker, Chavez is dead and Bill hasn’t been president for 18 years now. I know it’s been terribly upsetting to you to have black people living in the white house for 8 years, but they’ve moved out now. And yes, we know you think Orange is the new White, despite the fact that it stains the sheets and eats hamburgers in bed. We get that you’re so excited you can hardly contain your racism. But really, do try. And get some vaseline for those chapped lips. Get a large jar while you’re at it. So it won’t hurt quite so much the next time you bend over to get dry humped by [del]Fucking Moron[/del] Dear Orange Leader. ---

You’ve got 35 posts as of now, 34 of them in this thread. So, you’re not only a troll, but a one-trick-pony-troll at that. ---

Go on trolling, troll. I never lied about Obama and Romney, actually. He said exactly what I said he did. ‘one leftist, or a very few’ It’s not one leftist, nor is it a few leftists. He wouldn’t have been elected had their just been a few of them, fool. You said that they were imaginary. Now you’re backpedaling. ‘lying about me’ Never did. ---

But, if being an asshole simply means having an appreciation for reality, then I’ll happily accept that. No, it’s your trolling. If you were a long time participant disagreeing in a friendly way, then no problem. We have lots of friendly and reasonable disagreements on this here board. But if you fling around silly accusations and insults (i.e. trolling) then you’ll probably get called a troll. ---
