...and that's conclusive - that is, if you have disabled thinking process There's no need to be rude. True enough. If that's all you can manage, we should talk about something else. |

If one side engages in mental midget reductionism, the whole hing gets a bit dull and pointless Btw some of my earlier comments can stand re-iterating. This is one of the many reasons the Democrats lost the sympathy of many people |

Mental midget reductionism like when you make a claim that the Dems in charge are criminals but fail to provide any examples.
You are just blindly reading off the MAGA script and refusing to actually debate.
It's what you always do and I blame myself for engaging with you and expecting it to be any different from normal.

I'm not reading from a script, I'm giving you my opinion. You aren't remotely engaging it. It looks like the Us people weren't very convinced by this tactic either. |

I saw your opinion and raised you empirical evidence.
You tried to bluff with more unsupported opinion and eventually folded with nothing left to play with but insults.

To be fair, insults are freely bandied about on here on every thread

No Orac you decided to launch personal attacks and then made up a story about being provoked. A story about as credible as Trumps 'stolen election' trash talk. |

Orac is doing what happens on many threads here, where many other users freely insult others, it is considered quite normal here
He is in the minority

It's very normal to insult many people across many threads, like the threads insulting concerned citizen, or dubdrifter, or me or others
It's freedom of speech and I have no issue with it

By the way, that's not to say I endorse insults - other than against me because I deserve it
When you insulted me, I deserved it very much as I was disrupting the forum etc, but it is normal here
The mods mean the best, the others mean the best and I don't as you well know
But the fact is there are many insults towards others on here, it's considered normal

So what you alleged about here was false. |

Proof is available on the threads of Dubdrifters' where people insulted him, the threads where Orac insulted (and was insulted), where I was insulted in the feedback thing etc etc. And where I insulted others here priorly, because I am a hypocrite, and where you and dappy went at it. Where Monte and Zany went at it, where Saint and Zany went at it, where srb steve went at it
Where others insulted Amadan
Where others insulted wapentake, and vice versa
No one deserved to be insulted other than me
BTW, this is in part why Trump won. This is why Labour's polling is below the Tories'. IMHO people like hearing things as they are
