Oops!
I backed you into a corner; and out come the teeth.
Well, you really were in a tough position.
I mean it's just laughable you were trying to argue that there are more hate groups on the left than on the right.
You tore off into this lame demand that I go and do a shipload of homework after I presented the data. No. And a lame try, too. No. It doesn't work that way. You made the claim, you provide supporting evidence. It is absurd to request that I go and dig into each one of those groups to determine whether it is a left wing or a right wing group. Such a task could take weeks of full time work. Yeah, right. Somebody on a chat board is going to do that to meet a blithe demand made in a post. By someone who insults you, no less. Yeah, right. That's gonna happen. NOT! Nothing like putting the goalposts on the moon.......
Here's a safe assumption. All those groups are all on the right except some of the black separatist groups. There may be exceptions to that, but they would be outliers. The basic premise is a safe assumption. Just how many of the list of Racist/Skinhead groups do you think are going to BE left wing? What is YOUR estimate? Mine is they are ALL right wing groups. How about the white separatist/nationalist groups? How many of those do you think are left wing? I say 0. No. I am not going to 'prove it.' YOU are the one making the outrageous outlier claim. YOU show something to support YOUR claim.
You can't do that, so you've gotten personal. Calling me names. Shame on you. Can't argue your position so ya just try to derail the conversation, turn it into a flame war. That's trolling. How pathetic.
Man? I came here to talk politics. Screw that. I don't play that game. I wanna know how well informed are you? My knowledge against yours. I've got the upper hand here. You've shown nothing to support your claim. You're talking to somebody who is better-informed than you are on this subject. All I need to do is post the publicly available data. Yes, the stuff that's reported in the main stream news. Because the news is real. 'Alternative facts.' That's what's fake. Made-up claims from the president. That's fake. Just like your argument. No support, nothing to back it up, just empty words. Words are free. There's a dictionary full of 'em. The President can make up anything he wants. That doesn't make it true. I don't care how many of his supporters try to say it is. There's nothing to back it up! It is widely reported how often the President makes false claims. Shame on those who believe him. Fooling yourself does not make America great.
I've supported what I posted.
You've got nothing.
And I'll proffer you a warning. Don't get personal with me. Attack my position all you like. Rip it to shreds if you can. Don't start talking about me. That is unless you are ready to wave the white flag and you want to be done forever. That can be arranged. I do not mess around with that. And I don't EVER take anyone off Ignore. Just to be clear. Yes. My rules are different. I require civility. And I know I can have it. There is so much volume at this place I can freely filter out all trolls and still have way more great political debate than I can keep up with. So don't mess with me. I understand how common the flame wars are. I am simply not interested in that. I see no benefit out of it. I have spoiled myself and carved out my own niche of clean debate. I have done this for a long time. It totally works. No way I will ever go back to the flames. I want the highest quality of political arguments I can filter out of this place and I will freely drop anyone who stands in the way of that. If you can make that transcendence with me, I am honored to mix it up with you. But it's got to be at that level. I simply enjoy my life too much to want to regress to the level most commonly seen here. I've got it good and I know it. And I know how to carve it out, nurture and preserve that. I know when to pull the plug on people. You're close. Back off right now and we'll be fine. Push it and we are done. Nothing personal. It's just how I manage my posting experience. You understand.
If I made you angry use that to present a better argument. Or you could just admit you're wrong. You really are wrong, you know. Has it even crossed your mind that you might possibly BE wrong on this? I have no doubt that you are wrong. I have admitted it when I've been wrong before. It's no big deal. It's reSPECTable! This is actually a wonderful opportunity to build credibility and respect around here. If you just admit you were wrong, and that you were also wrong to call me names for backing you into a corner. It should have been expected what happened to you. Those lists have been made public. It's not fake news. They are almost all right wing hate groups.
