If you have a problem with something I've posted, why not just skip my posts, rather than waste both of out times?

I have no obligation to meet whatever criteria you demand.

:lol: I wasn't really expecting a response to this, because, well... I was correct in my observation that you are doing nothing more than taking wholly irrelevant pot-shots, and most people would have let it go... but it is amusing to have confirmation. I mean, really, if you could have pointed to even a single post in this thread where you actually addressed the thread topic, and defended Trump, you would have.

But hey, carry on. eace right back at ya!

LOL

Taking comments out of context is a rather lame thing to do radcen, especially if you're trying to establish yourself as some sort of thread police.

Is that the role you envision of yourself?

Like others, I simply commented on the emotional tirade contained in the OP.

As a point of reference:



What exactly is the proper response to an emotional melt down? The poster set the tone for the thread with their comments.

I simply offered that their comments were their opinion, and others disagreed with it.

That is most certainly part of the context of the OP.

Perhaps you could consider that and put your badge away.

What's interesting is to see the cognitive dissonance that plagues many people here on DP.

You're correct, 65 million would agree "the opinion" was correct.

If some people were capable of mild levels of reasoning and comprehension, they would see I never questioned that.

I simply stated the fact that 62 million people would disagree with the posters opinion. In that context, that quite a lot of people.

Stunning the emotion trigger that statement pulled in those so willing to broadcast their deficiencies.

62 million is quite a bit, but not as high as 65.

If some people were capable of mild levels of reasoning and comprehension they would see that saying an opinion is wrong because 62 million didn't agree with it, would also mean those 62 million are wrong because 65 million think they are.

if it's just pure numbers that dictate if an opinion is "correct" or not, then the "correct" opinion is that Trump is not fit to be president because the most people believe that one.

If some people were capable of mild levels of reasoning and comprehension, that is.

LOL.

Keep digging, it must be getting dark in this hole you're frantically working at.

Dang, how desperate do you have to be?

Let me ask, since you've gone Full Monty here, what's the ratio of disagreement in 1 versus 62 million, versus 65 million versus 62 million?

You might want to rethink you're last sentence, as it seems you're desperate to be part of that "some people" you mentioned. In fact, it would be a reach to be part of that group, based on the position you're taking here.
