> [@Sevastopol](#): > > No-one will out and out say admit an error was made. I will. _An error was made._ It was made by _you_, **Sevastopol** , when you thought you could play little word games to get around the ā€œno insulting the other postersā€ rule and not get called on it. > [@Sevastopol](#): > > You wonā€™t claim that MEB correctly interpreted the grammer, will you? Mayhaps you should focus more on writing clearly, and less on playing little ā€œgrammerā€ games. That way, you might not have the overwhelming majority of readers misinterpret your (claimed) intent. Just give it up, apologize to **John Mace** and **MEBuckner** , and move on, will you? ---

Just my tuppenth worth, but I donā€™t even see an apology as necessary, if there was no actual attempt to play word games by the OP. Just hope he/she now understands why his/her words were interpretted the way they were. ---

Just hope he/she now understands why his/her words were interpretted the way they were. I disagree. while two people certainly can and often do misinterpret words (especially in a printed medium), in this case, one person seems absolutely set against admitting that a fair interpretation of their words = an insult (intended or not). at that point, it is customary for the person issuing the offensive comments to issue an appology ā€œSorry, I wasnā€™t clear, I meant no insultā€. It seems to me that **Sve** is resolute in his stance that he did nothing wrong at all, and all others did. tā€™aint the truth by a long shot. a wise person would stop digging. ---

Ah, good old Sevastapol88. The new rule is that I can mock your username, right? And the only reason I call you that is because Iā€™m jewish. After all, only a jew would care about genocide, right? You really are an incredible sack of shit, arenā€™t you? Can we please get some more mocking of this twit from the rest of you guys? Iā€™m crossing my fingers that this is the thread that will finally get Sevastapol banned. ---

[Oy vey, what a can of worms.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=356405) Our OP doesnā€™t seem to care, at all, about honesty. But heā€™s perfectly willing to pretend he does in order to piss people off and defend his silly little word games. (And, Ogdamnit, weā€™re dealing with semantics, not grammar.) > [@Lemur866](#): > > You really are an incredible sack of shit, arenā€™t you? Of course he is. And it is interesting that weā€™ve seen the Zionists = Jews meme in reverse from him now. If youā€™re a Jew, why, you must be a Zionist and thus upset about the ā€˜unvarnished truthā€™ that he spews. Like how Hamas has absolutely no malice. So, I think we can nail down that he is indeed a racist as he seems unable to differentiate between Jew/Zionist/Israeli. Who wouldā€™ve thunk it, eh? > [@Lemur866](#): > > Can we please get some more mocking of this twit from the rest of you guys? Check the thread Iā€™ve linkedā€¦ he remains immune to even the most glaring errors on his part. He is disturbed not one bit by being caught time and time again in the most outrageous lies. He has no honor and less dignity. Iā€™m not sure that thereā€™s anything anybody can say thatā€™ll do anything. > [@Lemur866](#): > > Iā€™m crossing my fingers that this is the thread that will finally get Sevastapol banned. Somehow I doubt it. Just give it enough time and enough GD threads and heā€™ll give himself all the rope he needs. ---

Now that a Mod actually stated the obvious trolling, let me be the first to agree with the sentiment. ---

Well, **duffer** , Iā€™ll briefly play devilā€™s advocate here by stating the possibility that **Sevastopol** is dumber than a sack of hammers and actually thought his little ā€œfor or againstā€ jab was funny. Of course, as I consider his past history, I am forced to admit the two possibilities are not mutually exclusive. ---
