(37,573 posts)"buck up" is not meant to be insulting?
and neither is "you don't seem to be a person who can carrry on a challenging discussion". I guess.
My belligerant challenge was that "Line #1 sounds like "an excuse or justification for hatred or abuse". Once I declare you as "intolerant" then I can heap hatred or abuse on you, because "I do NOT have to tolerate your intolerance". "
What else does it mean to "not tolerate"?
Instead of talking about THAT, you chose to begin by talking about ME. "Maybe you are serious" (although what you said was so stupid (err, I mean 'demonstrably false') that it is hard to believe you are)"
So you are going to continue to deny the demonstrable fact that "maybe you are serious" is NOT complimentary, that it is, in fact, at least a little bit derisive? Especially following the belligerent earlier reply "you really don't understand English".
As for the animus that conservatives have towards liberal elites, perhaps that comes from the disdainful way that those liberals talk TO them and talk ABOUT them.
You know, like when a bunch of liberals get together and talk about how they don't have to tolerate all those intolerant conservatives.
Which came first, the animus or the disdain? And just like an egg produces another chicken which produces more eggs which produce more chickens and so on and so forth. More disdain produces more animus which produces more disdain which produces more animus, and so on and so forth.
