So, you think that he is “dead on” in explicitly lying that he was Warned for rules violations while his opponent was given a pass? That pretty much sums up your approach to truth and accuracy. ---

What I get a big kick out of is that Conservatives feel that there is some sort of requirement that a message board have equal representation of political viewpoints. ---

> [@Omg\_a\_Black\_Conservative](#): > > Nope. I’ve long since given up on any hopes of there being rational discourse on this board. Now I’m just here to laugh at the misnomer that is this board’s name This seems to be the boilerplate rationale for conservative posters who stick around despite vocally holding the board and its liberal members in complete contempt. I have to say, I’m continuously baffled by this. I have absolutely no doubt that there are knuckle-dragging-conservative boards which I could join merely to PALATR, and I have absolutely zero interest in doing so. I would say my time is too valuable, but the truth is it isn’t. What does that say about you and the other wingnuts hopelessly trapped in a doorless prison? Fly. Be free. Bestow your considerable gifts upon the worthy. ---

The point is that when school’s in session they are too busy being in school, doing homework, playing football, drooling over the hot chick from US History, etc., to bother us. ---
