Yes, Julius is "A" mod. He simply said he didn't see how it violated rules. I pointed out why I think it does, and I don't believe he or any other mod has said anything about it since.

I don't see any need to "report it" since we already know that Julius and Sly are aware of my concern. My intent in saying something was not to get anyone in trouble regarding board rules, it's to try to get people to stop with all of the subtle and not so subtle insults and simply discuss things.

Maybe you should stop trying to decide whether I'm offended or how thick my skin is. I've already said that there's absolutely no reason why I should be personally offended since I don't support Trump in any way and am mystified why anyone would. That doesn't mean that I'm down with calling those who do "Trumpanzees" or those at the other end of the spectrum on this board "Libtards". I think maybe people here should get over the idea that there aren't consequences to this kind of crap. The tensions on the OT board are higher than I ever recall them being and this stuff does nothing but make it worse.

...well, since the mods are already aware of it and have obviously seen nothing wrong with it, maybe the problem lies with you.

...and yes, tensions do run high on this board from time to time and usually it's because silly shit like this....and again, if you saw the thread title, why get yourself all worked up when you could have simply bypassed it, and not responded at all?

Nice contribution......not that I need your validation, but I didn't say that he did.

My point was that by needlessly injecting comments about race into your post(s), you detract from your point.

That said, your point was off the mark anyway, because eblazer never gave any indication that he was personally offended--simply that the thread title wasn't going to lead to any kind of worthwhile discussion.

...no, my post was not off the mark...one more time, I don't need your validation.

...leave me your business card...when your opinion becomes important to me, I'll call you.

I'm not worked up and my point isn't silly. I've made my comment, and I believe it's valid, that there's no reason to go out of your way to insult a given group of board members. That shouldn't be a difficult thing for most people to understand or agree with.

I predict a short tenure on this board for you.

Oddly enough, others' desire for my opinion (or lack thereof) rarely impacts my willingness to share it.

Conversely, I'm always willing to listen to and consider others' opinions, as I realize that mine is not necessarily any more valid than anyone else's. Your opinion is always welcome by me. :cheers:

...thank you...then we are in agreement.
 
I saw the name of the thread and said daaaayyuuuum!

He went there!

Not my choice of words but I'll admit I chuckled.

I'll stick to saying Trumpets.

You don't think that implying Trump followers are equated with chimpanzees is a touch insulting?

Sure. I'd never use that word to describe a person.
Trumpet is far better. Trumpets only repeat the hot air that's blown through them.

You know what a Cuck is right?

That's a guy who likes to watch his wife get fucked by another guy....

I personally don't want to be compared to either...

Trumpet is witty and makes a point. Trumpanzees is only intended to be an insult as to the intelligence of those who disagree with you.

Never in my life have I thought someone who likes a different politician than I lacks intelligence. That has changed.

I don’t question the intelligence of those on the board who support Trump, but I have to say I question their judgement. It would be a great topic for a thread for those who support Trump to explain what is it that appeals to them.

I didn't do or say anything about it because I was at work, and the nature of my job does not allow me to actually spend time online.

Yeah, well try that tact with a thread about Obama and see where it gets you.

I don't see this as a thread worthy of discussion. I suspect that if undeniable evidence were brought forth showing that Trump actively colluded with the Russians to gain a win in a US presidential election even his most ardent supporters would favor impeachment. Not the insane ones, but most of those who otherwise believe in his policies and general anti-progressive agenda are still believers in the sanctity of our electoral system and would oppose someone like Putin trying to put a puppet in the White House.

That said, so far there's nothing approaching indisputable proof of collusion. How would you respond to a similar inflammatory question of board liberals about "proof" that Obama did nothing in Benghazi because he didn't want the blow-back to impact his campaign so close to the election? Or proof that Hillary's knowing misuse of a private email server to hide her correspondence was illegal and compromised government secrets. Or proof that the Clinton Foundation was actively paid by foreign governments in exchange for access to the Secretary of State?

Put up the proof about any of the hundreds of alleged political scandals and then have the discussion. As it stands, they're all just political talking points for the parties' bases and have a lot more smoke than fire.
