the number of posts saying "this in no way is a defense of Zimmerman" is astounding

188. "incredibly thin skin"?

You are, at best, terribly confused.

We routinely get called names, are accused of being criminals, suffer claims that we are looking for excuses to kill, are told we are not liberals/democrats/progressives because we don't pass some invented purity test and, as you so self-rightously announce, are told we are "right wing NRA types". Edit: See post #166 as a classic example. Edit #2: And 177.... sigh. Edit #3: http://www.democraticunderground.com/117224318

In any other forum on this site, those would be bannable offenses. We alert on only the most heinous examples, and often, under a double-standard so blatent it's risible, are told to suffer these indignities as a penalty for our alleged sins.

"Pretty quick to hide any thread that makes them nervous..." Hide what threads? Where? Cite, please.

"...thin skin must be part of the need for certain compensations." More ad hominem attacks and insinuation of... something. You prove my point.

"I thought they were supposed to be tough guys, now I am just embarrassed for them and will stop scaring them so much and treat them with the little baby gloves." More ad hominem, now with an extra dose of paternalism. Well played.


Now, would you like to discuss anything of actual substance?

Edit#3, cont.: No, I guess you don't.
