The question makes assumptions/judgements, therefore it is not in good faith. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #22

I don't mind disagreement either. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #45

I asked a question ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #48

I was giving my opinion based on what I read. Like you gave your opinion in your question. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #53

Yes and you made an assumption ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #54

I am playing rhetorical games, like you are. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #56

Then why did you respond ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #50

That is all it takes to attack you? tonedevil Jul 2021 #61

Then what was the point ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #62

I noticed you are very defensive. tonedevil Jul 2021 #65

So? ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #67

I have told you why I made my comment... tonedevil Jul 2021 #71

Because you gave a non answer ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #74

I made an observation... tonedevil Jul 2021 #78

My point is you seem very defensive.. tonedevil Jul 2021 #82

Again so what? ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #83

It is the only answer I have to give you. tonedevil Jul 2021 #84

Because most are not disagreeing ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #76

Most in the thread are discussing the OP issue; it's the sub-thread from your #9 that is the problem muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #79

I asked a question ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #81

Your "question" was a bad-faith attack on a DUer muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #88

That's your opinion ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #90

Maybe it is muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #92

Maybe so ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #93

Others think you were unfair in #9: muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #98

Others think Biden cheated ChrisF1961 Jul 2021 #101
