let's start with yourself in comparison ... it's obvious I'm a DJT fan for all the reasons I've pointed out over the past 7+ years ... you continuously bash that orange bastage ... yet, we can still interact in a civil manner...

tanq and I go into the wayback ... I think I pegged his moniker as "moon shots boy" early in our initial battles ... reread the cous-cous buh-bye thread when we told him how it would play out ... "cya in court, honey!" ... that's how that one ended...

I'm not going to provide a psych eval on this other than in muh best stink-lese, "Felix and Oscar = 1"

tanq's as hardcore and embedded in the legalese as you are in 'despite' of #henceDJT ... maybe I'm the strange one (yeah, I am that, too)

Fair response. Likewise for owl#'s earlier response.

And I certainly realize that I have zero standing to tell other posters who they should like or dislike. I should not have called out the both of you due to my frustration on account of tanq. My apology for doing so.

But I will say that, as unwelcome as many of my comments may be on this forum, the difference between me and tanq. (at least I like to think) is that I welcome the dialogue. I have learned a ton from other posters on this board (including tanq.), and have been exposed to ways of thinking that never would have occurred to me - - more often than not in the context of posts taking me down a notch for some obnoxious comment that I may have offered up. (Heck, the now-banned shere kahn was brutal in his personal insults. Yet I always sought out his views because I was truly curious about how committed Trumper might think on particular topics and events about which I only could see one side.)

I also don't believe that I have ever dictated what others can and cannot think on any subject - - something tanq. does routinely. (The closest I've ever come to that is to accuse RWT of being a paid poster, which I honestly believe to be the case.) Tanq. seems to think that he gets to dictate the conversation. Just for one example, declaring as off limits the driving-while-black counterexample just because he had mentioned that as an exception to the rule. Big effin' whoop. The fact that tanq. says so doesn't mean that the counterargument is now off limits.

Whatever. It just seems to be a shame, because he does otherwise seem to have a lot to contribute if there were a conversation that could be had.

He’s a gin drinker. The only people I know that drink gin are old woman and college girls back in the day. That may explain some of it.
However it is possible that he grates on you because of his unmistakable similarity to Trump.
