> [@Smapti](#): > > If I say rule of law is broken and direct action is necessary to fight fascism, it means I’m an anarchist lunatic. Maybe you shouldn’t have spent all that time saying, pretty much, exactly that when folks disagreed with your position that there wasn’t anything to worry about because the rule of law would protect us from Trump. Maybe I miss it but I saw no ‘Mea culpa, you guys were right and I was wrong.’ all I’ve seen is you flip-flopping. ---

Or maybe there exists some degree of nuance between the only two extremes that you want to acknowledge the existence of. ---

🪞 I think you should have one of these. ---

So, was I wrong then, or am I wrong now? Because if I’ve “flip-flopped”, then I can’t be both. And if you guys were right before when I was disagreeing with you, but now that I agree with what you were saying before I’m still wrong, doesn’t that mean you’ve flip-flopped as well? Keep the mirror. I’m not particularly vain. ---

Did I say it was in the pit? I think I said I got modded on it. Might’ve just been a note. As an invective, “shut up” is about as lame as you can get. If you wanna know my thoughts on it. ---

> [@Stranger\_On\_A\_Train](#): > > And to be clear, while I did call out that specific poster this was not intended to be a general criticism of her character but to specifically address the view expressed in that post and shared by others. Had I put more thought into it I would have made it a non-poster-specific o.p. but it was cut & pasted from the original thread after the moderator (correctly) adjudicated that opinions about the application of summary judgment was not an appropriate discussion for the **Factual Questions** forum. This is completely fair and I think everyone makes (mild) mistakes like that now and then. And as I said, I wholeheartedly agree with the substance of your OP and think it’s a good basis for a thread and in the right venue. > [@Stranger\_On\_A\_Train](#): > > @Jasmine did, as noted above, apologize for her off-the-cuff remarks, and you’ll note that I haven’t made any further issue of her statement, and to the extent that acknowledgement of her retraction need be made, I’ll note she did so immediately and with succinct grace after the moderator’s note, so I don’t think anything more needs to be made of her views. This is good to reiterate and I also think her response was a good one. I appreciate the reminder of why we **try** to have a fair legal system and also to acknowledge that sometimes emotions for a particular situation lead people to forget why the system takes time to allow for a fair trial. It’s a system of justice, not vengeance. ---

I can’t help it, I find in offensive. Your name calling opinion of me, no matter where, is not impressive. Fuckwit? What are you? In seventh grade gym class? If you’re gonna try to call me names, at least be original. @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness was at least imaginative. (But its not original or creative, its a meme meant to offend) ---

You are so full of shit you can see the turds between the words.
