(24,692 posts)Was there some occasion when you accused me of supporting such discrimination and I didn't "even bother to deny it"? Or is it a case that if I don't agree with your take on domestic vs. overseas outsourcing (or was it some other issue?) then I am guilty of the "sin" of supporting such discrimination.
If you don't agree with my position, is it then fair for me to accuse you of some "sin" (to be determined at my discretion just as you have done) then wait and see if you deign to honor my accusation with a response.
Heck you could accuse me of being a racist, misogynist, unpatriotic, whatever and if I don't dignify your accusation with a response, I am "guilty"? Or if I do respond, you then get to be in the position of saying, "Sorry, pampango, that response is not adequate. You are still guilty of the 'sin'." That's a pretty good system you have set up.
I think there was a republican congressman many decades ago who made it a practice of accusing people (on his secret list) of various "sins" (well one in particular). If they didn't deny his accusation perhaps deciding that they are not going to "play his game", then they were presumed "guilty" by this guy and his followers. Of course, if his chosen victims did try to deny his accusations, they were deemed to still be "guilty". Either way he won.
