Me either.

Quote:Ham and Tanq have educated me on guns far beyond what I previously knew. Kind of like having a Chess Master talk about openings or RU talk about football.

I have learned a lot from their posts. If I can learn, I don’t see why others cannot.

Hmmm... the bolded didn't seem to be a conscious attempt to be nice. It seems sort of preachy and that you are talking down to me. Anyway... I did learn a lot from the discussion. That's why I kept asking questions despite taking flak by some for the questions that I asked.

Quote:93, if the “response” you keep telling me to look up was where you claimed to not know anything about the mass shootings, that is not a response, it is an excuse to not have a response.

I asked a simple question: which of the proposed gun law changes would have prevented the mass shootings recently?

It only takes 4 keystrokes to type NONE.

It only takes twelve to say I don’t know. Including spaces.

I said "I don't know" in my original post on the topic. You then kept mentioning that nobody had responded and I pointed you to my original response.

Quote:Would have been more to the point to choose one of those responses., rather than continually telling me to go look it up.

I think I was frustrated that I actually gave you the # of the post when you requested it but them seemingly ignored it.

Quote:I have made an effort to respond to questions asked me by anybody. Just seems polite. JMHO. Of course, I have dodged the traps, the “Do you still beat your wife” types.


If you want to know why I think this or that, ask me. If you wonder why I post links to people saying this or that ask me. Bu don’t make fun of me posting the links. That is not polite.

I don't think I "make fun of you" for posting your links. I remember the one time not that long ago when you posted a video and made an inflammatory remark to accompany it. When I looked at the video it didn't seem to support your remark and then you said you hadn't really watched the video. It seems that you were (are?) just aggregating right-wing talking points and we have plenty of websites to do that if we wish to pursue those. But I think I've made a recent effort not to comment on this practice of yours and instead just ignore the posts.

Post # 1293. Three days ago. Petulant child/word

Not sure what that has to do with me saying that I've been trying to refrain from making comments about your morning links.

Quote:If you posted a post number, guess I missed it. I did ask you nicely to give it again, and so far you have refused.

Gun control thread post #76 --> #55 --> #8

Quote:Or you could just admit that none of the proposed gun law changes would have stopped any of the mass shootings. I even posted a link (petulantly?) to an article explaining same. Guess you ignored it. Now you brag about ignoring posts. Word.

Gun control thread post #76 --> #55 --> #8

In post #55 I said to you: "I believe you that currently proposed laws wouldn't have prevented them". I mean... was that not good enough for you? I'm not sure what it is you need beyond that.

Thank you. I will go back and read those posts later today, but I think you told me what I was asking in your last paragraph. Sorry I missed it before.

So you don’t see your verbal high five of Lad’s criticism of my links as being critical of my links. My word.
