Except for the “legally driving down the road”, you totally had a point! Except the highway had been closed down for the protest, and the Jeep drove around a blockade and through another truck. He wasn’t “legally” doing shit, he was attempting to run over protesters, which is illegal in Colorado. Suck a fart, you violence fetishist. ---

When folks have made up their mind here there’s very little chance of changing it. Regardless of evidence. Don’t you find it odd that regardless of the videos and photographs people are still in Ministry of Truth mode? If this board and current media were around during WWII we’d have headlines such as “Mostly Peaceful Flight over Pearl Harbor” followed 4 years later by “Mostly Peaceful Flight over Hiroshima.” What I find odd is your carte blanche to run around arguing in bad faith with impunity. ---

He doesn’t offer cites; he just makes claims, and then waves off any requests for cites. He’s a troll, but he’s the laziest troll imaginable. At least go to some effort if you’re trolling! ---

I’ve provided cites in ATMB that were written by the administrator and they were ignored by the mods. So spare me your ridiculous assertion that I am compelled to provide anything. ---

I believe… it was “What’s with the flurry of bannings of late?”. According to my notes, I was prepping to challenge our three-hearted colleague’s interpretation of the Gormless Wienie’s words, but the topic was closed by our favorite trash compactor. ~Max ---

Nope. The incident led to one of the more fruitless stickies at the top of this sub forum. The dishonesty and double standards of the incident complete with deliberate lack of understanding of clearly written English was sufficient to demonstrate that cite cite cite is quite often farcical. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > with deliberate lack of understanding of clearly written English and you are complaining about your deliberate lack of understanding of clearly written English because? So, because people did not agree with your interpretation of a cite, you now claim that all cites are worthless, and that you refuse to either provide or to read them if provided. Even if you were in the right as to your interpretation, (which I do not think that you were) you are just being a petulant child, pissed that you didn’t get your way. If you are actually trying to put forth any sort of coherent debate of position, you have chosen to fail before you even begin, by taking this ill-tempered position that you have chosen. If you are not, then you are just a troll, and should fuck off. What is it that you are trying to accomplish here, other than to piss off other posters on this board? Because other than pissing people off, you are failing at whatever it is, miserably. ---

I didn’t start this pit thread you big dummy but since it exists and I’m the target I’ll post in it as I wish. All I know is when an administrator states in clear english something is not against the rules and yet someone gets warned and ultimately banned and the cite is repeatedly and deliberately misread it’s clear that calling for “cite!111!!! cite!!11!! cite!” is nothing more than a disingenuous game played by damaged and disingenuous folks. Because, ultimately, NO standard of evidence is sufficient to convince those who are at their core dishonest. ---
