20. In all our years here, I've never quite gotten a handle on your direction, just that

Sep 2017

it is something not quite mainstream/whatever, which I can live with. But for me, it's always just this-side of something that unsettles me, but always: *JUST A TINGE.*

I don't believe in apologies because those are demands/expectations of permission to do stuff again and again.

So glad you agree BainsBane Sep 2017 #1

He did. sheshe2 Sep 2017 #5

I have never said the guy was infallible. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #6

You say sheshe2 Sep 2017 #32

Of course you have more skin in the game and I respect the struggles of all women Ken Burch Sep 2017 #35

Apology taken, but I'd feel better if I knew you understood WHY it was so inappropriate. Hortensis Sep 2017 #3

It was offensive because I made it sound like it I was comparing this party Ken Burch Sep 2017 #11

Thanks. I appreciate that and hope others read it. Hortensis Sep 2017 #15

Thanks. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #19

You do realize that this doesn't actually help your case, right? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #4

It's enough to say I caused offense and shouldn't have posted it. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #7

Not really, it's a variation of the classic non-apology... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #8

I agreed that I had caused offence. That is taking responsibility. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #9

The orginal original self-serving non-apology still stands, I see. But... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #10

Enough with the wave smilie. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #13

LOL! Of all the things to be upset about... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #21

Because you do that over and over again and nobody deserves from you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #23

LOL! Nobody deserves a friendly wave emoji? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #25

It's not friendly. It's dismissive. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #26

I have no idea what you're talking about. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #27

Of course you do melman Sep 2017 #87

Your "hi" smiley is like the time Stalin starved the Ukraine Orrex Sep 2017 #96

I've never done an anti-Democratic Party tirade in my life. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #17

Well with that atrocious flame post, you have at least once. I won't refresh your memory further. nt FreepFryer Sep 2017 #18

In all our years here, I've never quite gotten a handle on your direction, just that UTUSN Sep 2017 #20

I honestly don't know why you're tolerated here. Codeine Sep 2017 #22

What is it about me you find so intolerable? Ken Burch Sep 2017 #24

... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #28

In the middle of the 2018 election when he starts his own anti-Democratic party website to complain FSogol Sep 2017 #29

You know perfectly that I would never do that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #38

If you silence JustAnotherGen Sep 2017 #39

Same if you silence me or if someone silences you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #40

"...in the middle of an election." Interesting qualifier. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #46

I used that phrase because Sogol accused me of that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #57

Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure. Right. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #58

It's not all about you Ken JustAnotherGen Sep 2017 #49

Didn't say it was. Anyone who calls for change here gets treated like that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #60

By now, if you are truly sincere and want democrats to win, no matter what Eliot Rosewater Sep 2017 #51

+1 Well said. n/t FSogol Sep 2017 #52

this!! heaven05 Sep 2017 #55

I support Democrats against Republicans in the fall. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #75

You say all that, you have said it many times, and while I believe you I also Eliot Rosewater Sep 2017 #76

I AM a Democratic Party supporter, just as much as they are. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #79

We *are* trying to tell him something. He just won't listen. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #94

So posting a video that compares the party to that of EGS.... Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #36

I wasn't meaning to make that comparison. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #37

I addressed your own comparison. Your own. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #44

Thank you. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #45

Yes. And I don't. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #63

Yes, you do. Regularly. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #66

I said one thing about her one time. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #70

"I said one thing about her one time." Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #74

I hadn't even mentioned her in over a year, or whenever that was from. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #77

You have now completely changed what you said before. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #78

You make it sound like I had it in for her. I never did. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #80

Apology not accepted. betsuni Sep 2017 #41

I admitted I shouldn't have posted it. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #61

At long last, and barely. After much prodding and THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #62

My original said that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #65

The original wasn't a real apology. It was making excuses and blaming others... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #67

I've made enough of an apology. I said I was wrong. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #69

I must say... your FOURTH version (from 5 minutes ago) is the best one yet. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #72

I never negotiated. You harassed me because you always harass me. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #81

I do no such thing, and you know it. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #83

OK...what do you THINK I'm doing? What horrible agenda do you believe I have? Ken Burch Sep 2017 #84

See? Exaggerating again. (Please stop.) NurseJackie Sep 2017 #89

You said in the post above that you felt you had to stop me getting away with things. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #90

Asked and answered. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #91

What was the context? I think the way people argue here about not criticizing dems IS problematic. JCanete Sep 2017 #59

Who posited the sentiment that the party is always right? LanternWaste Sep 2017 #73

I don't want to revisit it in the thread. I'll pm you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #82

Lol. Somehow your bashings of Democrats always get lots and lots of attention. Squinch Sep 2017 #85

I don't bash Democrats. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #86

You know, I've taken to just checking in here a couple of times a week Starry Messenger Sep 2017 #88

Nonsense. It's obviously *seven* pounds. Orrex Sep 2017 #98
