Gosh, I have quite a fan club here. At yet somehow, nobody is able to actually QUOTE my supposed misinformation; my supposed distortions; my supposed dishonesty.
All they can manage is a little hand-waving, some unsupported generalizations; and quotes from other people criticizing me.
Actually, that’s not totally true. Somebody in this thread supplied the following quote:
another poster, talking about marriage and mental illness:
OF COURSE mental illness can and should be a dealbreaker for some people. More so than other illnesses, in fact.
me:
I agree 100%. Marriage is difficult enough with someone who’s sane.
Gosh, what a terrible, horrible distortion! What a filthy lie!!! How can anyone bear this terrible horrible misinformation!!
There are a number of posters whom I often pity, and whom I wish weren’t wasting time spreading nonsense and hatred, even some whose very character (or its lack) I find contemptible, but none whom I actually dislike.
Actually, to address the point: Yeah, Rev, there are times when I post for no other purpose than to hand somebody a giggle. Usually, I have a point. Mostly. Sometimes, anyway.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. I’m not gonna see anything wrong with that.
None anymore, for America made me proud yet again and those that I’ve, at times, vehemently opposed, have been shown The Door in no uncertain way. Just rather sad it took all of eight years – likely the longest I’ve suffered through and that’s saying something for someone twice-divorced.
XT, if still around I’ll make sure to keep you in check. Don’t think for a minute that I’ll allow you to become “Obama’s Official Apologist” just 'cause you think that’s your job due to having become the Latino Captain America. OTOH, promise I’ll open a thread just for you when Zapa and Obama meet for the first time. Notice the 'when" not “if.”
Meanwhile, all the best to you and yours…hate off!
Wrong thread but what the hell. Just a quick comment/query on the “sig” threads.
You kids take a pic or look in the mirror when doing your “Valete” thing? Further, it it a sexual thing? 'cause if it is, please do some ‘splain’ forthwith as I don’t have much time left to learn new tricks.
Maybe I’m misremembering. Wasn’t it you who got suspended and someone started a pit thread about it which quickly turned into a ‘good riddance’ affair?
Well, i’m not denying your posts are on point. That’s pretty much required for humour in some cases. It’s just more along the lines that the point is then not backed up; keen incisiveness doesn’t do much if it’s not then applied to anything. But then i’m the kind of person who laughs and then asks “Yeah, and?” to Dorothy Parker quotes, so personal tastes, I guess.
Can’t remember who it was, but he was some guy putting together an anthology of American humorists (Volume one is Twain, volume two is everybody else…) and he wrote a forward about why he didn’t include Dorothy Parker, because he was expecting to, but when he read her stuff he couldn’t find anything that was actually funny.
Actually, over the years, I’ve discovered that I can’t stand 3/4 of the people who are willing to spend days and days of their precious lives arguing about stupid shit on the internet. I definitely used to be one of those people, but I eventually realized that it takes a pretty arrogant, self-important son of a bitch to try to drive his or her opinion into other people’s skulls through sheer will and a keyboard.
I suppose that means I now can’t stand most of the SDMB.
