Define “their proper place”. The only correct answer is, “equal in every way to any and every other group you can describe”. ---

I think they were just trying to be sarcastic. Which as we all know always works exceedingly well in text form… ---

Yeah, I gathered that after his last post here. But given his irritating habit of terse drive by shitting, the imbecile can still fuck off. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > I think they were just trying to be sarcastic. Which as we all know always works exceedingly well in text form… Seriously. I really wish people would stop doing that. We have _no_ idea what tone you intended in your head, despite how clever you think you are. ---

Even given sarcasm, still inappropriate and unresponsive to the thread. ---

Meh. They were basically saying the same thing I’d just spent a lot more verbiage frustratingly trying to convey to assholes like **octopus** , so maybe I’m primed to be more sympathetic. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > I think they were just trying to be sarcastic. Which as we all know always works exceedingly well in text form… I’m not as sure, but freely admit that I don’t know the poster. I agree that sarcasm is very hard to read in text alone. ---

There is an incredible example somewhere in a recent thread where I “touted” Trump’s multiple “Noble” Prize nominations and Dr. Deth responded with a lengthy cite of the process. Either I’m really terrible at sarcasm (good bet) or even worse at making an impression on this board despite my thousands of very liberal posts (better bet). ---

You’re assuming the other party has your values and sense of accountability. That’s your only mistake, one liberals commonly commit. They think conservatives will stay with them on the high road. ---
