2016 US Presidential Election Thread XIV: May This Entertainment Never End

[martha]

The thing is, Cobbler's a lot of things, but pretentious isn't one of them. And I think he's gotten over what self-righteousness he had. As for being a wanker, there are just some things I don't need to know.

He does talk in a goofy accent, but he lets me sip his beer.

Regular use is highly recommended

As for cobl04, I really do pity whoever your friends and family are for having to deal with a pretentious and self righteous wanker on a daily basis.

A mod didn't "publicly shame" you. You did that, your victimhood nonsense is ridiculous. Grow up, stop playing victim. It's sad to watch.

That being said Diemen is fair and he probably will say something to cobbler for calling you a name, but other than that he did no wrong.

You guys are still earnestly debating with a sock puppet twelve hours later. I agree with DaveC on this particular kerfuffle.

Should we all resort to "fuck you"(s)?

It's your sock puppet, isn't it?

It seems there is a fallacy lodged in the conservative mind that women use abortions as a convenient, first-option birth control method instead of the last resort that it almost always is.

Give it a rest will you, The crux of the matter is that a few people could not handle one statement that I made which was the life imprisonment sentence bit. Instead of actually thinking for a minute that that statement makes perfect sense based on my underlying belief that there is no difference between murder and abortion, people started to call me a troll etc. Newsflash, I'm not the only person in this world who thinks abortion is murder. So get off you high horse and stop pretending that others did not contribute to this as well.

Should I have attacked Axver and New Zealand? Probably not but his condescending posts over the last few weeks is what led me to do so.

I too believe Diemen is fair and will call out cobl for being a dick.

Give it a rest? I'm the one being calm here. And no, that is not the crux of the matter. The fact that you don't realize that, that is a big part of the issue.

No, but we could just ignore posters who are trying to incite stuff with strings of overly-aggressive and hostile posts.

Or we can engage without caving into their childish antics. There's a time and place for everyone, right?

You don't get to bemoan the lack of moderator call outs for insults and then in the very next sentence insult the person who you want called out.

Apparently you didn't get the message.

Neither did the guy who instigated my response after your general warning.

[Diemen]

And cobbler, cut out the insults.

This is exactly the kind of scenario (moderator requests ignored) that make deletions seem like the better option.

No? I thought it was someone else you knew, or something... you seemed unsurprised about them obsessing over New Zealand (for the record, I'm indifferent to New Zealand).

'resort' makes it sound like a bad thing.
