There is absolutely some value in having a thread where we talk about other presidents and their pardons without talking about Trump. There’s also some value of having a thread talking about how Trump’s current pardons may or may not be all that different. But when your OP is obviously about the second topic, don’t get all pissy when others don’t focus only on that first topic. At that point you’re “just asking questions”. ---

Guess I blew it – was sarcastically portraying the cliche “husband who never listens to wife” stereotype (as an explanation for why he would’ve agreed with her that they’d _both_ seen the alternate ending to Big). But I obviously missed the mark. But still, it was such a minor part of a complex thread that it’s a weird detail to open an argument with… Anyhow, do read the linked post, especially if it had never occurred to you that the “Alt-Right Conspiracy” might be to blame… > [@John\_Mace](#): > > Whaaaa!!

And also, you’ve GOT to read Quartz’s thread. I’m chuckling over an OP that mentions Trump and compares other presidents to Trump. Then Quartz asks so many times not to mention him, that eventually his posts are just “Please don’t mention Trump.” “I asked you not to mention Trump.” ---

That was a non sequitur that had nothing to do with the rest of the thread. As I said above, his post was crap. And as far as me and the alt-right thing above, I quit a FB political group that was rather heavy on alt-righters, who constantly threw around the term ‘virtue signalling’ and were quite persistent in claiming that the people who did it were secretly just as racist/sexist/whatever as they were, just pretending to be otherwise to appear virtuous. Or as I’ve said on this board, the “You think you’re better than me?” argument. :rolleyes: Thankfully, there are places like this and another board I belong to where those types ‘get run off’ (as they claim) by mockery and the inability to prove their bullshit claims. But hey, if you think I’m projecting my weaknesses on others, I’d love for you to provide me, via PM, how you believe I’m doing that and I will seriously and non-defensively consider your words. ---

No, no. Just a misunderstanding. I’ve got no beef with you (and if you met me, vice versa).

He’s offered to “beat up people” (figuratively) by being a warrior for women in the pit. See Sunny’s thread. Worth pointing out that he’s lying here. The post that’s gotten him in hot water does not mention beating anyone up, doesn’t mention the “warrior for women” thing, doesn’t mention any of that. It just mentions Chimera’s ex-wife leaving him and weaponizes that. Doubtless when he got in trouble he scrambled for cover; and when someone reminded him about Chimera’s creepy post about the woman with mace, he decided that’d be good cover. But the story don’t scan. The sooner this asshole faces full ostracism for his behavior the better. ---
