So… you’re saying that they aren’t a beacon of humanity. Nothing changes. Fuck off.
Aww you noticed!
You couldn’t hit water if you fell out of a boat.
Is that a McHale’s Navy joke?
HaHa! Good guess, but I don’t know.
I think the origin concerned baseball, maybe Lasorda said it.
I’m pretty sure Crash said it in Bull Durham.
I saw that.
We got a live one in the Kim Potter thread, hopefully not live for much longer
ETA: I reported the post and it was disappeared less than a minute later, good work mods
Over in P&E, we’ve got D’Anconia arguing that an audio recording of Donald Trump speaking isn’t a valid cite if that recording was shared on Twitter.
He’s trolling.
Considering how much the Donald loved Twitter until he was banned, it’s kind of hypocritical.
I’ve got to believe that that is crossing the line of “don’t be a jerk”.
If you are unwilling to acknowledge a quote because it’s contained in a tweet (or an “analysis” piece), you are giving up the privilege of being able to discuss a topic.
Just because the source doesn’t have a gold fringe doesn’t mean it’s not a real source.
DA realized he had nothing so threw the smoke bomb and slinked away.
Ya THINK?
He’s a big fan of the “that source isn’t reliable because I don’t agree with it” approach.
But he’s willing to cite the Daily Caller for his own arguments, which as we all know is completely unimpeachable in its journalistic intergrity.
Wow! All those cites basically backed him into a corner, so he just ignored them and said some bullshit about twitter. It’s like he wanted anyone providing those cites to get one of the original sources to join the SDMB, prove that they are the one who spoke the phrase, and then say it again. Talk about your original sources!
That’s about as close to pure bullshit as I’ve seen on this board.
Ah, so he has ‘precedent’ that harping on cites like that is totally okay and definitely not trolling.
At least in GFQ.
Thanks, What Exit? & co.

Just a reminder, any suspension over 1 day is a group decision.
So your most welcome, but on behalf of the entire staff.
The P&E mods were looking at this since it was reported this morning. We had to bump it up to the modloop as it was more than a warning and thread ban situation.
