Uh huh … I wouldn’t admit helping the Iranians set up them weapons system the Major sent them either.
Sure healthy whole grain cookies with wheat germ or some crap like that.
I gave up on you guys when you nominated Cynthia McKinney. Put up someone who’s not on the crazy train and we’ll talk.
Thing is they make the level of discourse way histrionic, over the top, and repetitive. Their inanity and bile prevents other reasonable discussions and drives some of the rest of us out of bothering to even read the threads anymore. Really adahar is a more welcome read than Shayna going “Bwahahaha”. “Bwahahaha”?
I’ll double back to Elections in a few months but pretty sure they will both be continuing well past ad nauseum.
The Mama Grizzly of the Left is going on about Hillary’s e-mail problem, and Richard Parker start one of his usual, thoughtful posts with:
“I think you’re lacking some perspective”.
That’s gotta be on the list of understatements of the year for this MB! 
Quit pretending. Your own posts from eight years ago are still there for anyone’s perusal.
Repetitive I can sometimes get, guilty. I need to get better at recognizing when a subject has devolved into a series of the same point-counterpoints and walk away sooner. Histrionic and over the top? Over 15K posts and I doubt you can find very many, if any, especially about elections. But do feel free to provide a few examples.
FWIW this is how I recall my tone during that time. And FWIW my assessment of Clinton is the same now as it was then, except that this time I support her as the best available choice … but there is, IMHO, little chance that she will be a great President. And I will stop there before I become too hysterical again.
And now for the quiz! What is the name of the logical fallacy you just tried to use?
Pointing out hypocrisy is not a fallacy. You’ve reformed your own act, yes, but you need to be more careful with the denunciations.
I helped you then to understand what you were doing (the same as Shayna, although perhaps not quite as adolescently), and you’ve never forgiven me for it, have you? :rolleyes: Grow the fuck up a little more now, 'kay? Some participants in Elections, including the OP, are simply pigs who cannot be taught to sing, but you’ve shown more, and from you more should be expected.
Now a new one! I’ve “reformed.” 
“Have you stopped beating your wife?”
Again, please do provide a few examples of what I needed to “reform” from. There must hundreds to choose between. Just a few will do. (Not to worry. Don’t and I won’t keep asking. I am learning to not be so repetitive.)
And sorry, the answer was: “tu quoque” … you do not get a chance to play for the grand prize. Please accept this link to rationalwiki as a condolence prize and thanks for playing!
(Dang. It was a gimmee, especially for people on this board. What can you say? He choked.)
I find that extraordinarily difficult to believe.
Well, maybe not.
Thanks for providing a fine example in your original post, but really, it wasn’t necessary.
I’d probably be printing up ‘Kneel Before Zod’ lawn signs.
Oddly (or not) I have absolutely no memory of the fabled 2007 Shayna/Elvis dispute. So… Elvis was for Hillary? Was Shayna for Obama?
Personally, I’d be happy if any member of the Democratic slate were elected in 2016.
ETA: DSeid was vitriolic? Sheesh, I can’t remember anything.
It’s settled, I’m voting for Biden.
Yes.
Yes, she was.
I can assure you, choosing one smartphone over another will have a larger effect on your life than voting for one presidential candidate over another.
But her suoport was pretty tepid, no?
IIRC, she could take him or leave him.
[Monty Python]Well she turned me into a Newt Gingrich … A Newt Gingrich? … I got better.[/Monty Python]
shrug He can get emotional. You try dealing with patients like me all day and see how civil you stay.
My doctor (she’s cuter than DSeid): You are what we call “non-compliant.”
Me: No, I just have different priorities than you. I’m here because you won’t refill my head and lung prescriptions, ones I have taken for literal decades, unless you see me every 90 days. My other problems way down on the list.
A few of those a day and you’d punch a wall. Or me.
