Well, to be fair, I think Jill might have overreacted because of the other bashing. Flint was just a minor annoyance, but maybe the straw that broke the camels back? Anyway, I hope she'll change her mind, I like her voice. Much better than mine, I've become very disinterested in politics because everyone I know have such polar beliefs and you can't have a reasonable conversation. FFS my brother in law started yelling when we were trying to discuss evolution being taught in schools, and he's a biology major!

I appreciate her too and for the same reason. I cant keep up a well-informed discussion, because I'm just not well informed. But I like being able to read it.

I agree over-reaction. Not un-understandable.

Just what I was thinking.

Probably not. Consistency is not Flint's forte.

You think calling Jill a camel is going to entice her back? Why not just come out and say what you really think about her?

I understand that my point could have been misunderstood, BUT…

Once I’ve explained, step by step, exactly what I meant, and exactly what I didn’t mean, several times over, then what does that say about the peanut gallery who snipes at me with purposefully dishonest cheap shots? Either you’re too thick-headed to put two and two together, or you’re repeating outright fabrications with intent to be malicious, for no apparent reason. Either way, great job! Keep up the good work, weak-minded fools!

It doesn't bother me at all, and I don't regret anything I've said (why would I?) but at least the sloppy thinkers have revealed themselves.

Of course, reworking the text to read "poppyheads," now...

This, from the guy who within living memory melted down, screamed about how he passive-aggressively hoped someone (but not him, O No) would buttfuck me in the mouth (as he put it) over my pro-selfdefense views, and essentially pissed himself so thoroughly the entire Cellar came to a standstill, stared him down, and watched his bowtie turn yellow. An unforgettable and colorful spasm of childishness. And people think they should wonder at me thumbing my nose at the Left end of the spectrum?? The wonder is they do not do so themselves.

Spexx, is this some life's plan of yours or is it simply that you cannot help yourself, and must look ridiculous? I will mention your want of mastery of possessive pronouns vis-à-vis contractions only to claim unconvincingly that I forbear to mention it. Copyediting -- it's a good thing. Your keyboard does have a Backspace key.

On Topic now: so the House did not pass a resolution; the Senate did. That's sufficient. I'm okay with "sufficient."

For these, we look to you, tw. A lot of junk food for thought goes through your keyboard.

Is this true Spexxvet? Did you try and get UG buttfucked in the mouth?

Shame on you Spexx. For shame!
