Uh, you first. People are responding to your asinine reaction
And so they may protest freely about it too.
Oooooh, burn. What a zinger!
Try some spf 50 on your pure ivoryness.
You seem to be implying I’m white. I am not.
Not sure what you’re trying to achieve here, but it’s stupid and I’m done.
He’s in the Troll olympics, and he’s sad that he’s currently placing 35th. Most of his posts could be replaced by “LOOK AT ME!”
So sad that he won’t get to stand on the podium and listen to the National Anthem and get a medal…
Yet I can tell by your post count in this thread what you really excel at, medal winner!
And you seem to be implying people of color (poc) do not use spf? Wtf it’s a play on your user names
Well, having read all @Chela’s comments here, as well as the original thread, I think I’ll have to disagree with
It’s trolling. Maybe, maybe the original thread wasn’t, but the way it went on and here? Sure looks like it.
Everyone should protest the anthem at sporting events, but Chela raises a more important question:
No, we are not. Certainly not in any common purpose outside of making war. If we were, we’d have universal healthcare. If we were, people wouldn’t be moved to protest against the systemic racism that’s infected our country since its inception. Fuck an anthem.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programing.
I’d stand/ kneel for a few minutes of silent reflection rather than listen to the star spangled banner.
They might have an appointment for abuse and go in the wrong door.
Team, I just want to give @D_Anconia a shout out for his excellent assist in proving one of the themes from my latest OP, The Journey, about the evolution of my political thinking.
The OP was way too long (I originally wrote it for my Substack and it clocked in at over 5,000 words), so I broke it into multiple posts which, I assumed, would make it easier for the reader than a mere 5k WALL O’ TEXT would be.
In the third post, I make the following observation:
Well, guess what happened? 
Somebody had to, you know, whine
Now, let’s be frank. D’anconia doesn’t give a fuck about the SDMB. He doesn’t pay, he doesn’t promote, he’s just a user. He is so ignorant of the way this board functions that he asks the GUY WHO RUNS DISCOUSE to make a moderating decision. And he didn’t care, not really, that a thread was started by the OP breaking up 5k of words into separate posts.
Naw, he just wanted to be a whiny-assed bitch. Tragically, this teenaged, passive-aggressive shit was so blatantly transparent that even What Exit took pity on him in their response:
And, one last thing. D’anconia: you’re a coward. Fucking address me personally, especially when you have a complaint about me. Capice? Think your rugged individualistic conservative self can handle some direct conflict? You just fuckin’ fled to a safe space to whine like a 5 year-old instead of responding to the thread. And you constantly do this with me, probably the only person on this Board who realizes what a disservice you are doing to your namesake, Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastián d’Anconia. (A tertiary character in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.)
So, if you’re going to ignore my words, that’s fine. Be a man for once and just ignore my presence as well. Or talk to me.
This? This is embarrassing. But it goes exactly to the point in my thread, so thank you as well.
Whiner is a perfect description of D’Asshole.
He only pops up in threads to whine about somebody else’s posts, never to actually add any value whatsoever.
If ol’ clothy transitioned to female and created a sock here, she/her/hers would be indistinguishable from chela.
Amen. chela’s entire schtick is being argumentative, being an asshole, and being an argumentative asshole. No real contributions, just flinging shit. Find me one of her posts where she actually added something positive to a conversation, and I’ll find 50 where she was just trying to piss someone off.
Two things:
1.) If Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastián d’Anconia really cared about his reputation, I can’t imagine he’d actually appear in an Ayn Rand novel.
2.) capisce. You’re welcome.
I blame auto correct. Falsely, but I still blame it.
