re: #97 Killgore Trout

Nobody really gives a shit about “elevating the discourse” or free speech issues. It’s all just phony partisan outrage.

“Nobody” is a lot of people (and would include you). You have no way of knowing that for sure.

re: #107 Killgore Trout

Yet I seem to be the only one with the ability to condemn something as universally reprehensible as rape regardless of the political affiliation of the rapist.

That’s a fucked up thing to say, and it’s untrue. You know what’s annoying? That you talk down to us, as if you’re the only responsible adult and the rest of us are just a bunch of spoiled children throwing tantrums. “Do as I say, not as I do!”

It’s insulting & disrespectful and I can’t for the life of me understand why you keep doing it. You’re not going to convince anyone to rethink their position by insulting or taunting them, so what’s the point in doing it? Does showing your contempt for us elevate the discourse?

Those are rhetorical questions, so don’t bother answering. I’m going down to the store to buy some smokes, then I’m going to break out my art supplies and forget about this political bullshit for the rest of the afternoon.
