This.
Dio and Shodan are constantly looking for “gotcha!” moments, and when one of them scores, it’s only fair to applaud [del]them for all the time they’ve wasted[/del] their hard work.
It’s got nothing at all to do with partisanship in this case, even if the gotcha was a political one. If you skim back through the thread you’ll see that nearly all the people weighing in against Dio are other liberal types (like me).
No it isn’t - if I meant to say Democrats, I would have said Democrats.
I cannot stop you people from refusing to read for comprehension, and it tends to be a self-reinforcing cycle, where one clown says 'you said A but you really mean B" and then everyone else who didn’t read the OP takes it as gospel. But that doesn’t mean it’s real.
I don’t always take the trouble I should to be clearly specific but as demonstrated by the above, it doesn’t always help anyway.
Regards,
Shodan
Only if Diogenes is now code for “Democrats and liberals”.
“**Diogenesian **thuggery, Boston style”… nah, it just doesn’t ring right.
Friends,
Shodan rules.
If you call yourself Diogenes, does this prove that you are in love with yourself? Wouldn’t “Adonis” be more appropriate?
Adonis consoles himself that Brown is pro-“choice.” (I CHOOSE to believe that this THING in my womb is not a baby.) So, Adonis, is abortion the only issue that really matters to you? Why?

But poor Diogenes is incapable of smelling bullshit any longer. All this rubbing his nose in it has had a deleterious effect on that sensitive organ.
I blame you, Shodan. 
Link. This is where the links in the OP came from, btw.
And let me add that **Shodan **is every bit as pig headed as Diogenes, if not more so. I rarely even bother to respond to his posts.
Thanks!
You heard it, boys. Hitting below the belt, hair-pulling, and attacking random members of the audience are now allowed. Also crying.
EGAD! Thought Crime Alert, Thought Crime Alert: Consult the precogs immediately.
(1984 meets The Minority Report meets the left-leaning SDMB. Scary territory, indeed.)
Sorry Shodan,
On the basis of subsequent posts, I may have to re-evaluate you.
I laughed.
Dear Shodan,
OK, Shodan, I have re-evaluated you, and my verdict is now in. Good man.
Sincerely,
Aristotle, a truly brilliant philosopher
It’s 50%, dipshit. I already posted the link showing all recent polls. The current aggregate is 50%. Try reading threads before you make yourself look like a retard.
Cite for me doing this?
I’m not sure if you expect me to disagree with that last sentence, but I don’t-- I agree. Still, that has nothing to do with what were discussing in that GD thread.
I ain’t tryin’ to be the moderator, really.
But, DIOGENES, when you call somebody the word you used in #195, it don’t help your own self. Rules aside.
And I’m gonna stop callin’ you Adonis. Promise.
Is anyone confused about this but you?
ETA:
Stop being such a fucking aggregate.
I really don’t care.
