You have not been extremely provoked.

There is a lot more that I could say - that you deserve - but I will be restrained.

Perhaps I should be disciplined for losing my temper so extremely at times, but I don't think anyone could say I haven't been extremely provoked.

---

You are “extremely provoked” by people telling obvious truths and disagreeing with your obvious falsehoods. Phat’s point is at the least understandable in that light.

quote:

---

Sorry but I do believe that being called a racist is a huge offense that deserves some kind of extreme denunciation.

And yet what you say raises justifiable suspicions. When you say that you are only against illegal immigrants - but your judgement of their legal status considers neither the law nor the relevant facts - there is clearly some other objection. When you don’t even want to hear about the law and the facts it’s pretty obvious that the legality is not something you even care about.When you defend people like Laura Ingraham without addressing the remarks that give strong evidence that she is racist.As for Marc, he has already used out-of-context quotes to defend Lee against charges of racism which are clearly true. And he is arguing in defence of the Confederacy - also less than honestly.
It is only the general incoherence of his arguments that saves him from worse judgement.Both of you need to understand that unthinkingly making excuses (and often making them up) without concern for the truth or for the implications of what you say is a foolish and risky thing. And yet you both keep doing it and never accept responsibility for the consequences of your actions.

And now YOU should be suspended for personal attack. All this has gone way too far.

And there you go again, getting angry because someone told the truth.

I'm not at all angry, I'm giving a calm reasoned judgment. You should be suspended for personally attacking me.

So you can’t take truthful criticism. Again you just demonstrate why Phat said what he said,

Personal criticism is out of bounds on a forum. You should be suspended for your arrogant judgment of another poster.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

And yet you complain that you are being punished for hurling abuse at people for daring to say things you don’t like. Even when what they say is true.

Would calling somebody a "lying creep" be considered personal criticism?

They are false and they are lies and they are evil. HOWEVER, it would have been FAR better for me to be suspended for my screaming all caps meltdown than this ridiculous censorship Percy has imposed instead. Not letting me use the word "LEFTIST" (see "peek") is absurd. Screaming would be reasonably punished with suspension, but using a mere word does not deserve that or censorship.So perhaps I should be suspended now in retrospect, and also all the others who have offended with personal attacks as I have been describing.And by the way, Phat, Satan usually comes as "an angel of light" speaking nice things even to the most evil of opinions, which is what you do.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Admin, : Fix misfiltering of disallowed words.

Or to put it bluntly. Defending racists, using racist arguments and saying racist things makes you a racist.

And ***** makes you a liar. Trump did not defend racists, did not use racist arguments and said nothing racist, and neither did I or marc9000. And you deserve a week's suspension for this lie.

When I was in school, there were posters on the walls about having a rich vocabulary instead of swearing. Even swear-words can enrich our vocabularies but you have sunk even lower than that, giving the impression that you only know a handful of words.Your arguments would carry much more weight if you actually presented arguments instead of just calling everybody who disagrees with you a f**king f**cker.

They are false and they are **** and they are evil.

No to all three - there is even valuable advice in there for you.In fact it seems you are getting very angry about a calm, reasoned judgement.

That you would have preferred suspension rather makes the point that it was a good idea. If you can manage to cut out the abuse Percy will lift the sanction.

"*******" is not a swear word.
