Boss, I am happy to take your advice but let's be clear.  I have never said anything racist.  If, like your fellow leftists, you claim I have, please link us to the offending post.    Thank you.

First of all, every time one of you asks someone to link to a post you sound like such a fucking twat.

Second, link to where I said you already said something racist. I assure you rqa, if you said something I deemed to be overtly racist, you would not be posting.

I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s just sooooooo dumb he doesn’t know the difference between insanity and racism. Wisconsin Parade cough cough killings.

his specialty, like many of his ilk, is straddling the line line between overt and subtle. Make no mistake, it is intentional.

Swill "progressives" - fucking, ahole, twat, babbling, fuck.

He has been intentionally do it for years, Penn OTOH seems oblivious to the white male privilege in his posts

Young progressives hate her so I guess the loss of the House has some good residual effects for them. She had a good run but change was inevitable.

Well you and the rest of the board progressives have never invited RQA or I to your circle jerks. Is the AOC life size doll getting a little worn?

The Republicans gained control of the HOR because they cheated. Aided and abetted by the Radical Republican "Justices", politicians really, on the Supreme Court.

I don't closely follow your battle with some folks on this board, but I would suggest that aligning yourself in any way with rQa isn't a great look (unless you're going with that whole 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing).

And, I don't think this board is full of progressives (maybe just a vocal few), but I could be wrong. It's a small place.

I don’t align myself with RQA politically, but he and I are both the subject of regular attacks. This is a very intolerant place. On this board, most of the posters are progressives. I can’t speak for the main board.

It’s unreal that you would take a chapter out of the Trump playbook. But as I have said before, MAGA and Progressives are very similar. Both are cults. Both are intolerant. Both are loudmouths. Both are in the minority.

Right. I don't mean politically. I'm just saying that picking any side with a guy who thinks people should vote for candidates based on the color of their skin isn't a great look. There's a reason people are intolerant of that.

There are people here who are equally biased against older people like me. One in particular has told me he wishes I would die. He downvotes all my posts. Bigotry isn’t just confined to color or race.

Penn has never stated what his age is.

They are plenty of older posters here though. Not sure there's a big bias on those grounds.

But, the death thing is a bit much for me. That shouldn't be tolerated.

I appreciate your support. You’re a good poster. I’ll try to cull my rhetoric.

Can someone explain to the perpetual victim that the term “die quietly “ isn’t wishing death on someone? I’m pretty sure he knows but it doesn’t fit his “victim shopping” persona.

No one is forcing you to post. If you’re as miserable here as you sound, then go man. Whatever.

For some reason you keep saying I’m miserable.  I’m actually happily retired and in good shape financially.  I travel, go to sporting events, and now that Covid is mostly controlled I dine out frequently.  I choose to post because I enjoy politics.  You seem to find it miserable because I don’t agree with you.  Sorry.  And I assume you have the power to get rid of me if you want.  Not much I can do about that.

A real who dun it as to why I’d keep saying you sound miserable. I don’t know anything about your real life Penn, like you don’t know anything about mine. On this board, you sound miserable. I’m not going to get rid of you, but when you’re constantly, in nearly every post, bitching about the people that post here, I gotta wonder why you bother coming at all. They’re not going anywhere, so either you make peace with it and stop bitching about everyone else that posts here, or stop coming. I don’t know what else you could possibly want here

what does that have to do with you being an asshole to pretty much everyone on the board or progressives (saying you wouldn't help them in a housefire with a hose), and then playing the victim card? interesting deflection.

Again, you think this way because I disagree with you politically.  You do the same thing with RQA.  And with Bredo, so much so it seems he left.  Why don’t you put me on ignore?  Then you don’t have to look at my “miserable” posts.  That’s what I did with Kingstonlake.  Every one of his posts directed at me was derogatory.  So I ignored him.  Try it, you’ll feel better.

Read my suggestion to Travis. Maybe you should do the same.

This has nothing to do with politics. All you do is log in every single day and bitch and moan about other people here. You are not required to be here. So don’t be if you don’t like the other people here.

I cannot put you on ignore, it would be in violation of my solemn duty as a message board moderator. (For real I can’t really do that. If you started posting porn or something I need to see it)

you are also a great reminder of how i do not want to sound when i get older. thank you.

Nothing screams “I’m happy” like bringing up a HOR member from a district I don’t live in in every single thread. I can tell I’m really happy when I wish people in my own party would die in house fires.

I disagree that I bitch about other posters here. I bitch about their ideas (student debt for example), not them personally. About the only time I attack personally is when I get attacked first. I brought up some of the attacks with you in the past and your attitude was “too bad”. I will make an effort to not be so disagreeable. But I have my political beliefs. I’m not changing them.

On this very page you’ve posted “everyone here is a progressive” in your very mad way at least 19 times. It’s nice that you disagree about your own posting but everyone else here agrees that you’re constantly moaning.

All right, you win.  I’ll leave.  I can see you are clearly unhappy with me being here, and others are too.  I don’t want that.  I enjoyed the year I was here, honestly.  I enjoyed the freedom to be able to speak, unlike on TOB.  To TrapperGus, I’ll miss our debates, especially in the days of Hillary when we were on the same “team”.  RQA, we may be from different viewpoints but I respect your willingness to come into “enemy” territory and post your opinions.  Steveschneider, I barely knew you but it seems we would have gotten along.  Everyone else, best of luck.  We’re all Spartans and that will never separate us.  Go Green!

Way to go, Travis.
