The Will Farnaby topic saw you cite a then-ex-administrator, and it saw moderators dis-regard your cite. You had a different topic in mind?
A sticky in the Pit… [searches brain]
Did it have something to do with the banning ofHuey Freeman? Am I remembering that right? No, you didn’t provide any cites there…
Now that I think about it, “Just how reprehensible do you want to be in the Pit” was an ATMB thread before Miller stole the title and made his own topic down here.
There’s this great feature of the new Discourse software that lets me click on your name in any thread, then click this weird yield-sign shaped button, and then I only see your posts in the thread. Lo and behold, here too you cite Ed Zotti. It’s the same cite and the same interpretation as you later raised in the Will Farnaby topic, by the way.
A word of caution for all: while I am not a moderator, I don’t think we are supposed to criticize official moderator actions in the Pit, see the final bold listing in the current rules. And I have it on good authority that debate over this particular interpretation of this particular cite is no longer welcome in ATMB.
I don’t care and no that’s not it. Can’t prove double standards and dishonesty because any discussion that proves it is forbidden? That’s why it’s a farce.
The ‘cite’ game would at least be an honest game if many of the people here didn’t post as unholy spawn of Baghdad Bob and Humpty Dumpty.
"I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’ " Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’”
“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”
Don’t you mean octopuses? Or alternately, Pink Octopus has no backbone? Personally, I’d go with the latter. No reason to malign perfectly good sea creatures that have done us no wrong. Except Ursula in the ‘Little Mermaid” of course.
“Grammatically speaking, the plural for octopus is octopuses . As the Merriam-Webster dictionary points out, people use three different terms, however: octopi, octopuses , and octopodes. While “octopi” has become popular in modern usage, it’s wrong.Nov 1, 2018.” QZ.com
Good Christ, now he’s ranting that the Rittenhouse kid was only acting in self defense. The country can not move forward with this kind of rampant assholery.
Don’t know about the plural of octopus, but I do know we can call our guy Octopussy. ‘Oohh, noooo, people have burnt down a 7-11 in a city 1,200 miles away, whatsoever shall I do but turn to authoritarian fascism?’
You are indeed a giant pussy if you think a few demonstrations against injustice are cause for increased skull cracking to keep you and your fellow conservative pussies safe.
Me thinks octoputz doth protest too much. He is just too cowardly and dishonest to admit that he is really enjoying that which he decries. There is no cure for his vicious cretinism and persistent trollery.
