I reported it already. Really though, they both should have gone unsanctioned imho.
Sure it is. “**You **are making things up.” is a personal characterization. “***Your ***denial” characterizes the words being said. That is the difference.
A complete bullshit rules lawyering difference, I guess.
Did you work on the Cruz campaign in Colorado?
Not my reasoning. It’s in the rules.
I am very good at finding and using exploits in rule systems. Ask my RTS opponents. Never thought to do it at the SDMB, but if that’s the game we are playing here…
It’s not an exploit. It is explicit in the rules.
I didn’t watch the video, but if this guy referred to Obama as a “raccoon” and said an exterminator would be helpful, then Hank has no ground to stand on, and should really stop with the protestations. And frankly, Hank, you might say you were joking or whatever, but I was also really offended by your racist language just upthread.
ETA:
Yes, that is why and how I originally got it.
Your constant attempts to portray yourself as merely enforcing the rules is blatantly disingenuous. Your real motivation is obviously to disrupt a persuasive poster arguing more effectively than yourself.
Who would that be?
And he’s not enforcing the rules.
So constantly labeling a posters statements as disingenuous is not questioning intent?
In fact, the rules paragraph you quoted perfectly describes the majority of the posts that BrainGlutton makes in response to me. While the only thing that I accused him of making up were my own perceptions and motives that he broke the rules by questioning in the first place.
I guess not, but Jonathan is.
Whatevs.
It’s these exact sort of regressive tactics and selective outrage that drive Trump’s popularity.
Popularity? LOL
I’m powerless to enforce anything. I was just offering some enlightenment. But I appreciate the thought, however misplaced.
My apologies for the offense. Words are powerful. I never use that one with flippant intentions, but I will use it in the few circumstances where there are no other ways to accurately express the sentiment I am intending to convey.
One in four chance of being the most powerful person on the planet, according to prediction markets.
Nearly nine million votes cast for him so far.
Yeah, popularity.
I can characterize a poster’s statements any way I wish, with the exception of saying, “That’s a lie!”
Only a 113 million to go.
Is nine million a large number?
