Threatening? I have no idea what that's about. Does anyone else? Does it have to do with Patrick's bringing up of the (now long) banned Tony Kania?



I dunno. He was quoting you when he made that comment... so maybe he's scared of black cats... or nail files.

The Bdub - you owe me an apology - but I won't hold my breath.
Perhaps the "threatening" propaganda is a reference to the many Leftist written news pieces that are posted in this thread that seek to undermine the work of SCOTUS and the Constitutional order of this country.

Who here would post multiple news articles, some never even read and evaluated for content, that seek to undermine our longstanding system of governance?

Ralf Fücks?

Maybe he posts here incognito, using some fictional screen name.

Your obsession with this man's name may qualify you to be known as a "F**khead".

I won't use the man's name in this post as it seems to be a deliberate skirting of Forum rules concerning profanity by you.

It is distasteful and juvenile.

It's also flippant, which is the attitude that I want to express towards that statement that you made. The statement of yours that I quoted at the top of my immediately preceding message. Where you said "Who here would post multiple news articles..?"

I'm not the least bit impressed by this veneer of propriety on your part, where you express what seems to be a concern for decorum on the forum.

If it were an honest concern on your part, you would be calling out another well known forum member for his constant and vulgar disregard for any decorum on the forum. A forum member who constantly indulges in surreptitious profanity like "drooling, lunatic Leftists." A forum member whose screen name I am reluctant to use, because I consider it a kind of profanity.

This is from May 12:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...L/000170-4.html#p122

Anyone who has been following the conversations knows the other forum members that he is defaming with his pet phrase "drooling, lunatic Leftists..." He knows that he doesn't have to reference them explicitly by using their screen names. It's obvious from the conversations.

From January 6:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...000189-26.html#p1003

There he was explicit. He quoted my previous message and then said "drooling, lunatic Leftists like you." His entire message there is "over the top" vulgar, although (with the exception of "damn") he eschews any of the formal profanities or "four letter words."

His constant and malodorous vulgarity of this kind—his surreptitious profanity—is a far greater insult to the decorum of the forum than anything I've ever done, because it's so much more (by an order of magnitude) pervasive.

I'm not "obsessed" with the eye-catching name of that German progressive politician and writer, Ralf Fücks. I've given it a bit of a "run", of late. That's all.

Your silence about the Elephant In The Room when it comes to abusing and insulting the decorum of the forum makes you a hypocrite if you call out anyone else (anyone, besides the Elephant In The Room) in this way. Your silence about the Elephant In The Room makes you a hypocrite. It makes you duplicitous. It makes you guilty of having a double standard, when it comes to calling out violations of the decorum of the forum.

You've taken a pass on calling out the Elephant In The Room for the past umpteen years. You haven't stepped up to the plate on this. You've actually expressed some approval, recently, of how the Elephant In The Room stomps all over the decorum of the forum, day in and day out.

So this message of yours, that I quoted when I began this message—it impresses me not.

I can accept your not calling out the Elephant In The Room, but if you won't call out on that, you really shouldn't be calling out anyone else, when it comes to transgressions against the decorum of the forum.

It makes you look like a hypocrite.

So as posts (or threads) get reported to me, I read the last page of a thread without looking at the title. If by the end I have been unable to figure out what the thread is about, and if most - if not all - posts are simply people calling other people stupid, then I'm pretty sure I can close the thread.

Which is what I'm doing right now.
