well, it does only in the respect that nasty and I were being flat told that religious organizations were never listed as essentialQuote:

I'm following along just fine. It's not my fault that you actively seek out things to get offended by when speaking with posters you have a checkered history with. Not only that but you won't even accept me looking past this and trying to honestly tell you what I was saying.Quote:

Wish we could get to the bottom of why you love playing these pointless games so much.
You sound ridiculous....and also quite defensive. Please feel free to laugh it up. :laugh:Quote:

We've all heard slight variations of this groan inducing nonsense already. We also all know that you won't stick to your word, seeing as how you are downright desperate for validation and just can't stand it when anyone dares to question you.Quote:

lmao...seek things out to be offended by? I just said don't bring me into a discussion I had nothing to do with....but somehow I'M seeking out things to be offended by.Quote:

And yeah, like catman, I'd like to not waste time responding in these types of discussion, but since I'd like to also participate in more productive ones here, it's impossible not to see these....and when you specifically NAME me in them, it's hard to simply ignore...because when I have, I'm told I'm not answering direct questions.
That's not hiding from conversations. It's prefering to be involved in more productive ones. You'll notice there are posters here who have polar opposite opinions on some subjects here- ever see guys like Crovash turn any of those into a shitfest like this? Ever see me turn a disagreement with him into something personal?
I came to PSD because the forums on my own site are dead. I spend little time on the sports forums here now because they're dead. I came to the Political forum because there was lively discussion....but the vast majority of people spend time on the forum they choose to have enjoyable interactions with the people there. Debates where people disagree can still be enjoyable....this crap, not so much.

just like I said you are clueless. I can not be always championing Trump, when I criticize him and call him stupid.Quote:

you don't want to pay attention to anything that contradicts what you want to believe.

I mention these inconvenient observations because the anti-Trump movement, of which I’m a proud member, seems to be getting dumber. It seems to be settling into a smug, fairy tale version of reality that filters out discordant information.
spliffy, I apologize....I have no desire to feud with anybody here, really I don't. Ya know what puts me on the defensive? Being told I'm being defensive when I'm not. I'm a guy who can walk into virtually any situation and start a conversation with just about anybody, a guy who could happily have a beer even with people I have nothing in common with.....sometimes, much to the chagrin of friends and family.
New subject....I mean I've assumed there's strains but not really read anything about it, but just ran into this regarding the Ravens' organizational Covid outbreak
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens on Saturday said they were informed by the NFL that "at least four unique strains" of COVID-19 were found inside their facility during the team's outbreak.
"Three of the four were stopped and not spread within our organization," Ravens president Dick Cass said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the fourth was a highly-contagious strain and spread throughout our organization."
So, does anyone know how they determine that? It's adding another layer of concern as I prepare to make my annual trip to Honolulu to spend Christmas with family. I go every year, bought tickets this year in June having no idea we'd still be where we are. I'm all but quarantined, Hawaii has done a great job, I have to test before I fly...but then I'd be on a plane full of people (who theoretically have also just tested)...but now have this running thru my head as well. The safe thing would be to not go, obviously...but this is a rare opportunity to be there with less tourists and clearer waters than I may ever see again.
Yes, as per usual, you are seeking out things to be offended by.Quote:

Wow. Such a clever retort. Do all of you guys that get so worked up by my posts have so little creativity that you can't come up with a unique reply and instead merely mimic what I most recently posted?Quote:

Way to align yourself with another real winner!Quote:

You say you don't want to waste time with discussions like this, yet constantly jump back in only to avoid answering questions that make you uncomfortable and drop pointless little one liners like "who's on first?" over and over.
You were a critical component in turning this conversation in to a "shitfest". I've certainly seen you turn plenty of disagreements in to something personal. Just because you haven't done as much with Crovash means very, very little. If you feel so safe talking to him, maybe you should start up a PM correspondence with him; I'm sure he'd be thrilled about it.Quote:

Then be the change you want to see and save the incessant whining for elsewhere, big boy.Quote:

Again, coming from you, I take this as a major compliment. At the end of the day, you are full of it: there is nothing Trump has said or done that has kept you from singing his praises. You may find small things here and there that you disagree with but nothing will keep you from seeing him as your personal hero.Quote:

I do appreciate you reaching out to apologize but I'd rather see you stop misinterpreting every other thing I say (and then continuing to stick with your misinterpretation even after I've clearly explained myself). We've been through this routine way too many times at this point.Quote:
