Wow... LMFAO
How about you guys just own up to the facts of what your party did.
I can't believe you have the audacity to always insist that you are this great poster who is always the one acting nice and polite and myself the exact opposite.
where did I refuse to own up to facts? all I did was respond to a reasonable question with a reasonable response.
you responded by being a jerk, trying to provoke, and yet you have these delusions that any issue I have with you is unwarranted. own up for once dude. I can't even go one post without you trying to piss me off or provoke me.
So now you're deflecting to ME?
A little fact checking for you would be a good thing
1) you made 4 post in this thread and I responded to one. You've made over 11,000. I'm confident I haven't responded to you anywhere NEAR 5,000 times. I've posted in 4 of the 50 threads on the front page of this forum. I don't know how many you've posted in, but I certainly don't follow you (or anyone else) around... nor have I said anything about your comments in numerous other posts in this very thread
2) So LMFAO is being a jerk, but

isn't? What if I used the emoji instead? You're going to have to help me out with that one... other than I didn't say you were being a jerk for your emoji.
3) I've never once said I was always far and polite... I certainly have encouraged it (especially when acting in my role as a mod, which isn't what I'm doing here) but have frequently admitted that I sometimes fail to live up to it myself. If you think my comment violated the AUP, then report me. To act as if I'm not allowed to engage in the same sort of thing as anyone else, just because I'm a mod is false (on its face).
Maybe you're unaware, but it's actually frequently part of our foreign policy to try and influence elections in other countries... and we probably pay people pretty handsomely to try and hack their emails... We recently bugged the German Chancellor's phone, didn't we? That WAS our government. I'm sure there are lots of others actively trying to do the same. The biggest reason why Russia is a problem is PROBABLY because their government probably has a deal with the hackers that basically says... as long as you don't hack us, we're not going to prosecute you for hacking.
That's actually why Hillary's 'server' issue was such a big deal.
But no... a foreign government trying to influence our election isn't (imo) a

moment. A candidate who knowingly and intentionally violated federal policy to prevent such things is. A party that tries to claim that saying you like Mexicans (at least in part) because you like Mexican food is 'racist' and thus everyone associated with them is racist, but someone who makes fun of someone's ethnic name is not and doesn't. I laugh at that implication.
Sorry
