My attempt to resist had all the strength of a soap bubble resisting a falling anvil.

It wasn’t simply that you expressed skepticism, or asked for a cite. No, no – the idea was so outlandish that, according to you anyone reading it should have instantly known it was fabricated.

And of course, it was real. Good times.

Of two minds about that. Gut reaction, not a good idea, too divisive. On the other hand, perhaps this demonstration of sensitivity to the feelings of the black community might prove to be a good thing. Calm it down a bit. Dunno.

I quite understand. The chance to gloat must be irresistible to one who has so few opportunities.

Of course, your willpower in resisting the slightest bit of contrition over your error is highly admirable.

Quite so. I will go now to the river, to perform the ancient Albanian ritual of self-abasement, accompanied by a chorus of bitter virgins, intoning dirges of woe and humiliation.

A simple “my bad” would have sufficed.But you’re too busy winning the internets. Carry on.

I find it best to ignore him. The snark content of his posts is vastly higher than any useful content.

If you’re going to suffer, please do so quietly. Thanks in advance. :smiley:

This presupposes that snark isn’t useful. I’m inclined to disagree.

I heard they’re going to rename Dallas/Fort Worth airport after her.

Well can we say that the audio proves that she was arrested on trumped up charges.

Not really. I mean it’s obvious from the video/audio that the cop was being a needling prick but as lengthily discussed the arrest for the lane change was legal and while wrestling her around to cuff her she easily could have kicked him, purposely or incidentally. So “trumped up charges” doesn’t really describe it.

I heard they were going to rename Texas after her. Lots of people are saying so on facebook.

It’s bland enough.

I was talking about the cigarette thing.

No.

Well, that certainly settles* that!*

Why? Did your ever-reliable bullshit detector peg again?

Aren’t you on record as disapproving of one-line snarky drive bys? Or is that only the ones signed by me?

No, I’m not on record saying any such thing.

I am on record as approving accuracy, and genuine admissions of error following one’s error.
