I don't think it's a stretch to say that his are, by far, the most angry posts on this forum as a rule. Is his anger righteous? What makes some anger righteous and not other anger? This is pretty silly, no?

Anger? lolz.... not even close for the extremely large part.

Sarcastic as sin? Yeppers.

Blunt? Aabsoluuuutelllyyyy.

If you want to take bluntness as 'anger', so be it.

In all honesty '93, perhaps the reason I take the tack with you is because your standard modus is to really never bother answering many direct questions, and choose to deflect with another question.

Part of that may be that I am often debating four or five of you at once.

Quote:I mean, just take a look at OO's post, then your method of spinning it into an ancillary question with a pointed comment about me. Kind of cute when it becomes de rigeuer.

OK... went back and looked at the post that you referenced. Did I not answer/respond to his questions?

Quote:Considering you are now apparently a brilliant psychoanalyst who knows how everyone in the world ticks (because I am apparently full of 'anger', and Kavanaugh is obviously a 'blatant li[ar]'), that must be an awful burden to bear. My heart goes out to you with that amazing responsibility. Lolz.

I don't know you and don't know what's inside of you. I feel quite certain, though, that an independent observer reading this forum would say that your posts are the "angriest" on the board. Would you take issue with that assessment? This isn't meant to be a judgement on you nor a psychoanalysis of you.

This was all in response to the original idea that "righteous anger" somehow only belongs to leftists.

I am comfortable with and not surprised in the slightest that you feel 'quite certain' about that.

Honored to know this has the same level as your depth and conviction of your observation of someone you have zero interaction with being absolutely and certainly a blatant liar.

So the new standard for accusing a politician of lying is that one must have a personal relationship with said politician? That is going to temper discussion on this forum for sure.

Merely pointing out a 'certain' (unintended pun) penchant for being 'absolutely certain' on a whole slew of topics. (Blunt, on topic, and straightforward -- i.e. 'angry' to some).

By the way, loved the rhetorical 'deflection' question you led off with. Are you sure you have never noticed that before?
