Hey, I got called sexist and petty because I pointed out Josh Cryer had something about Hillary in 2008 wrong.

I get called rightist or some equivalent thereof on an almost daily basis, at least on the days that I post here, by posters who are well to the right of me.
And, (same thread, different poster) I am a lifelong pacifist who apparently doesn't believe in the peace movement.
I try to obey the TOS and not dare anyone to ban me. Beyond that, I don't see a point to posting on a political board if I have to self censor every post or say things I don't mean.
I used to try to assume sincerity and good faith on the part of others when I posted, but it became impossible. Now, I just have to laugh (and laugh merrily).
Just try to obey the letter of the TOS and speak your truth anyway. And if you get called names, this might help.

I used it a lot on that thread. Just seemed to fit.
