Bullshit. Trump is a public figure, not some random asshat on Facebook. Completely different scenario.
Bullshit.
Kimstu’s logic is applied accurately. That move, Oakminster, was total chickenshit.
Blow me you sanctimonious pissant.
How’s that?
I have an Aunt in Barrie that loves Doug Ford. I currently have her hidden from my feed.
I’m not following your reasoning, here. Why does Trump being a public figure make it a different scenario?
It doesn’t, as far as the courageousness or cowardliness of venting about his politics on an anonymous messageboard is concerned. There is nothing wrong with anonymously complaining about Donald Trump, one’s unidentified Facebook pals, or anybody else here in the BBQ Pit.
Because commenting on a public figure is not the same as some random asshat on the internet. People on this very forum are capable of ascertaining, from media reports, whether Trump should or should not get sodomized in whichever colorful way I previously suggested. We have no way to evaluate random asshats on Facebook. Our OP may be well grounded in fact, with sound reasoning to support his position…or he may be the random asshat blathering on about other people that no one here will ever know anything about.
Executive summary: Public Figures–fair game for public bashing. Private figures, not so much.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Kiss my hairy ass.
From the point of view of the public figure or random asshat who will never know they’re being anonymously bitched about on a forum they’re unaware of, it’s exactly the same. Which is why it’s so silly to pretend that anonymously bitching about anybody on an internet forum explicitly dedicated to anonymous bitching somehow demonstrates a lack of courage.
Doesn’t matter. This forum does not require posters to restrict their anonymous bitching only to subjects whose objective Pittability can be independently evaluated by other posters. And furthermore, the issue of independent evaluation by other posters of the objective validity of the Pitting has jack-shit to do with the issue of the Pitter’s personal courage.
Really? You are digging up a 12 year old post? God you people are obsessed. And that post is a comment on a fucking news story…again NOT some random asshat on Facebook.
Go shove broken glass up your cunt.
It’s the Pit, dude. If you can’t handle being told that your argument is silly without melting down into infuriated obscene exhortations advocating violent harm…
…then you’re in exactly the right forum.
I’m not melting down. Just think you’ve been unnecessary asshole-ish to me, so giving it back to you.
But, fair warning, I’m about to go have an early dinner with my wife. Odds are good I won’t be back here on this forum until Monday. If you want to keep saying mean things on the internet, you’ll just have to wait until then to see if I deem anything worthy of a reply.
:dubious: S’okay, I think the point has been made.
No, a “random asshat who will never know they’re being anonymously bitched about on a forum they’re unaware of.”
Enjoy your dinner and your Friday night date.
And fuck you and the horse you rode in on!

That out of the way…
What an enormously stupid standard.
I disagree. I did not threaten or wish harm to anyone. I suggested they perform an action that could have unfortunate consequences, no different than suggesting they go sodomize themselves with a rusty chainsaw or various other colorful displays of…unaffection…commonly bandied about here.
But it’s a new week and all, so Hakuna Matata.
