A while ago I invited people to call me stupid (and also crazy or naive, as I remember), and you are the first to actually do so. At least I think you are doing that. Thanks for your honest opinion.
You may try to keep an open mind, but you are failing miserably. In the Trump tax avoider thread, you said this:
In numerous threads, I have stated that Trump is a horrible person and a horrible president. I have never once suggested that he is any-the-fuck-where near perfection. Now, I guess it could be that you have a horrible memory, and don’t remember me saying these things. In that case, I would accept an apology for your ridiculous assumption. But if you do remember, then I would also accept a retraction.
Why so mean? He’s just trying to have a civil conversation. Would you mind showing him evidence of any positive thing he has said about Trump? There’s no need to raise your voice. He’s just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion. Are you simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion?
I am not “defending” him. I am stating, when I think appropriate, that some charges made against him are unfounded. That is all. There is a big fucking difference. I mean, don’t you agree?
I know exactly where that post came from. I had just read it. But if you can convince me that Euph WASN’T referring to me as someone who thinks Trump is the embodiment of perfection, I’ll retract. He doesn’t seem to want to reply about it.
Being 100% honest, at this point, no I do not. When I do, all I ever get is grief for my good intentions. I try to have discussions about politics that are interesting to me. Lots of people, and sometimes even myself, like to talk about Trump’s enormous failings. But in general, participating in those discussions from that viewpoint bores me. So when I see someone make a claim about Trump that I don’t agree with, I’ll respond to it.
If I understand you, you are saying that I didn’t quote enough, and gave the wrong impression about what he said? I don’t think so, but if so, I would retract it. He doesn’t seem to want to make it clear he wasn’t talking about me, though, so I’m sticking with my original post. I mean, come on. Who responds with “Fuck Off” if they have something relevant to say?
