Well you’ve convinced me, **CarnalK**. **Thelma** is completely horrid with her wild accusations of “flippancy” and her wierd sensitivity about the seriousness of the Vietnam war just because it ultimately took her husband. After all, **Textual Assault** once ran over a bunny. ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > Yes, and the context is Lamoral’s post indeed. The point is that one cannot omit that what Lamoral posted led Thelma to take on the OP, and based on what she endured I give her a break. Sure. And that’s why the OP of this thread should have been way, way more civil in his response. And one reason why he’s an asshole. There are other reasons, too. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Derp as much as you like about a distinction without a difference (Thread Title vs OP), but **Thelma** took offense where none was given or meant. No kidding. But the distinction does make a difference because she did _not_ attack the OP; she stated quite clearly that she took offense to the attitude expressed by the 20 hours comment, finding it flippant, considering the subject of the documentary which was quite meaningful to her. And she expressed that without making a judgement regarding the OP him/herself. See the difference? “no like 20 hours comment” versus “OP is poopyhead”. ---

There is definitely an excluded middle fallacy here, but you might find it in your own pocket, **CarnalK**. ---

ThelmaLou is not capable of distinguishing between a movie and an actual war. TextualAssault is not capable of distinguishing between ThelmaLou’s pointless whining and a personal attack on him. I’d call it a draw. ---

Well, no it’s not a draw. Textual Assault is clearly whackadoo. ThelmaLou’s post was just eye roll worthy. ---

Something I learned the hard way is that you can offend someone even if you don’t mean to. What I still don’t understand is the reaction to attack someone you didn’t mean to offend. I understand the desire to lash out for a second, but not to actually sit there and maintain that anger. Why would you remain angry long enough to get a Warning and then make a Pit thread? And I very much don’t understand why you’d single out the widow. But I don’t understand why anyone gets singled out, really. ---

However, anyone who refuses to use Trump’s name, either out of some protest or refusing to accept he’s “legitimate”, loses almost all their credibility in a political discussion. IMHO. ---
