Man can you imagine if Omar had been in the senate questioning Rapenaugh? She definitely would've brought a breathalyser.

If you start your questioning with " I know your not gonna tell the truth" I do not blame him. I would have told her to " Frack Off" if she started that way with me

How many ****ing times does the hateful making stuff up to be mean intolerant left have to be right before you dip****s swallow your kneejerk contrarianism? When do I get the benefit of the doubt that werewolf got here, why doesn't Omar get the benefit of the doubt the Covington kids got, etc. etc. etc.?

Like the obvious thing here is that they are rich and white, so maybe microbet's gumshoe research on me owning a nice watch can get me what being right didn't?
(p.s. buddy you know the research skills that lead you to find EDF forum posts about my hobbies can also be used on Nazis to determine that NPC123 isn't a good faith defender of human rights, right?)
Back from my ban and, jman, I'll be posting more nicely here only because I feel like, ranting momentum is gone, and for reals I feel a little guilty about hurting Fly's feelings. In the heat of the moment I wouldn't really have noticed the bolded there.

To answer the bolded...holy cow...I'm not doing the search, but it was almost immediately before this that I was defending you against charges that you are an antisemite. And I think I was the first and maybe only person to do it. The things I accuse you of, for the most part, you know are true and as far as the quality of your posting and personality, you've said as much yourself. As far as your fancy watch collection goes, I didn't gumshoe that. Someone else brought that into pol. I've run with it and like collecting watches is fine. It's super bougey (spelling?) obviously and not even useful as an insult against almost anyone, but you have officially proclaimed yourself to the LEFT of everyone here except maybe einbert and Shame_trolley and that's not the kind of left that just means you are deeply offended about what the deplorables are up to, it means you don't collect fine watches.

Now for the really bizarre part of this interaction and of your presence in this forum. Iamnotawarewolf is slightly relevant around here, so whatever, but you're actually posting about this NCPwhatever character? Nobody cares about him at all. I'm not going to write a long explanation about how he can be responded to without it even really being directed at him, that's too complicated here. But when people come into the forum with 12 posts, sure they may get read and may get responded to, they are words that go in between other posts and are not invisible. But, no one cares. It took me a god damned year here before anyone knew I wasn't Microbob.

I'm not defending NCwhatever and my interaction with him is not an endorsement and I'll talk to iamnotawarewolf anyway I feel like it without caring about whether his narrative here is true or not. He's barely relevant. You're very relevant though. You're like the evil spirit of a 1989 Dennis Leary stand up routine hanging over the forum. And I don't gaf about what you say to or about ianaw or certainly NCwhatever, but when you "Jesus ****ing Christ" me, or anyone who I like (because yes, I do post here to make friends) I'm going to tell you to **** off.

And by the way mods, there's lot of posting here that's more aggressive and creates a less hospitable environment than whatever you recognize as abuse. Stop moderating any of it is what should be done, at least among regs. People can and should defend themselves and each other. But if you do moderate things, you could try to be smarter than a profanity filter.

And we need to stick together since neither of us knows **** about olives.

After posting there I read a bit and found out that the green ones are just less ripe! Mind blown.

I like the really wrinkly really dark purple soft ones. Gotta find out what they are.
02-14-2019 , 01:07 PM
Well if green and black are actually the same I guess I only know of one type of olive.
02-14-2019 , 02:01 PM
There are two types of olives:
Nasty
Not an olive

OK but like, you should blame him, because he's responsible for literally tens of thousands of dead people.

I called an Israeli defending white nationalism a kapo, man, I understood exactly what I was saying, I did it to hurt his feelings.

"Hath not a Nazi eyes?", in the context of defending James Fields from a punishment that HADN'T HAPPENED YET(he's bull****ting now about how he only opposes a life sentence, but obviously he wasn't sentenced the day after the attack)...

This might be an identity politics related issue. You oppose anti-semitism because it hurts your feelings, I oppose it because I think it's one of humanity's great evils.

Probably how you should address someone previously guilty of perjury.

Its likely dry salt cured or oil cured. There's a few varietals that I can't remember the name of right now.

I know that's why you did it. But you also called people ******s to hurt their feelings as well. Doing it to hurt other people's feelings doesn't automatically make it ok. That's why when I make generalizations intended to hurt your feelings I do it about lawyers, people who collect fine watches, and people from Ohio. People who partly deserve it or at least can take it or defend themselves. I legit don't think you understand the concept here and that's why I defended you as not being antisemitic.

What? I didn't say anything to the contrary and if I post in response to someone and it doesn't address some other thing they said, that doesn't mean anything. Especially if they are a poster that's not worth remembering. I mean, I care so little about what whoever said there that it's painful to try to read it now and determine if you're talking about ianaw or NCwhatever. I addressed something ianaw said about the pound of flesh, that it was antisemitic, but w/e, I'm not locked into a back and forth about that and don't intend to get in a war here with anyone other than you. You're the only target that's remotely worth the time.

This is you trying to hurt my feelings in a clever way. It didn't happen to work this time. I'm not at all uncertain of where I stand on any of humanities evils or whether most of the people here consider my positions on such things as sincere or not. There is a bit of "shut up Jew" to this point though. It's just identity politics. You, Jews, don't get to whine like that. But again, it's not that you're an antisemite, I guess, it's just you.

Strategically it is smart of you to own this at this point. Most of the audience here didn't notice how this line of insult really got to you.

No, man, it's not. That is my honest and sincere read on how you respond to this ****, which is why you dislike me more than you dislike white supremacists.

lol at fly and micro firing shots at each other as the Nazi apologist quietly slinks off back to POG.

If arguing online is how you demonstrate your hatred of white supremacists, go spend your time posting on Chief's Planet or POG.
