87. Actually I didn't call anyone in particular an asshole

Wed Nov 28, 2012, 12:25 PM

Nov 2012

What I said was that I just love when some asshole tries to lecture me and to condescend. Do you like it when some asshole tries to lecture you and condescend to you?

Since I didn't really name you, and only spoke in general terms about something I disliked, I could rightfully take your comment as an admission that you are being an asshole, trying to lecture me and condescend to me. Is that what you intended?

The fact that you used David Corn and President Obama as your targets doesn't mean that I don't understand that you're lecturing me and condescending to me. I am a supporter of Democrats and President Obama. When you insult the efforts of Democrats and President Obama you are very much insulting me and what I'm trying to do.

I favor constructive criticism hfojvt, but there is a certain element here who are most definitely not constructive.

You asked me. I gave you my best answer. That is my opinion.
