A HERETIC I AM

I'm rude?

Fine. Let's recap;

I responded to Post #2 with the sentiment that almost anyone who has held the office of President for 8 years is ready to leave, an agreement with the OP and an expansion on the point made by the poster Monmouth4

Then YOU responded by suggesting that by saying what I said, I was somehow diminishing what the president has gone through, which of course, I did no such fucking thing.

So I told you that I hadn't just fallen off the Yam Wagon, (or the Turnip truck, or just born yesterday or whatever, as they all mean basically the same thing, that I am not naive) and that I had been paying attention for "the last little bit" a sort of play on words meant to assure you that "the last little bit" included the last 7 and a half years. That went right over your head, but it wasn't by any means rude.

As this point was lost on you, you decided to school me by telling me that Mr. Obama "has been treated like shit his entire 7-year term!"

Yeah. I got that. You must think I have been asleep.

By now I am getting a wee frustrated, as you seem to not understand that I am not a child, nor have I been asleep, so I told you my age and that I have been aware of what's going on for most of that time.

Not good enough for you.

YOU FOLLOW THAT UP BY INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE ONCE AGAIN, by saying (once again) that I was "diminishing" what the president has been put through, to wit;

"you would know what he has faced and stop diminishing and downplaying it. "


In what universe can what I said be construed as "Downplaying" and "Diminishing"? If I had said something like "Oh, he had it no worse than Nixon", THAT would certainly qualify, but I didn't.

Since you clearly can't understand the words I typed, I thought making the point in a large, bright red font might help you.

The only reason I asked if you practice being difficult is because by that time I was frankly astounded you weren't getting the fact that I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU!

you are incredibly rude, but that's to be expected.



Awww...thanks! If you expected me to be rude, why bother responding to me? Put me on ignore then. Science has yet to invent the device that can measure how little it will matter to me if you never respond to another post of mine.
