Yes, yawn to a vapid trolling attempt. A response that could have been ignored. Weird how you forget that part. And because they asked I should accede? Even if I don't have the time, inclination or capability to respond 'adequately?' Then again Rietrot replied but those two wanted it in my own words. I see you've set yourself up as the arbiter of people's time too.

You also seemed to miss the bit where I said I wasn't interested in said discussion and tried to end it but according to Orbital I ignored them and kept on whining. Why should anyone here believe your sincerity?

Constructive debate my @ss. Buka was spoiling for fight and got a dose of his own meds and now he has a cheerleader to boot!

Lol.

Trolling would be if you posted a rebuttal to my post and then I responded with vapid indifference to your counterpoint.

You harp on about gaslighting, but you are the one who is trolling here. You could have completely ignored the post, but chose to latch on to it. So essentially ignoring the article and chose to troll instead.

You never engage with anyone on the merits or substance of their points.

All you do is resort to your one liners and insults.

One trick pony.

No, I responded with 'Yawn' to your trolling attempt. You really need to learn what trolling is. Responding with indifference is not it. And as said about my response:

Anyways you then went apoplectic. Please don't lie. Here is your OP again where you 'wondered' about Trump supporters.

I wonder if this article speaks about some of Trump's supporters.

Donald Trump, the Most Unmanly President

Why don’t the president’s supporters hold him to their own standard of masculinity?

It is a genuine question. I found the article compelling and well argued, which led me to ponder whether the phenomenon that the author describes can be observed amongst Trump's South African based supporters.

As I have yet to see any argument to counter the points raised, I am led to believe that perhaps the author is onto something. You are most definitely leading the charge in proving that assumption correct.

Twitter should not remove any tweets. They are a platform(town square) if they try and be editorial that comes with a host of other responsibilities and they can be held liable for anything that someone post on their platform in future.

They will then stop being a social media and become a publisher.

If anyone in the Trump admin actually know what they are doing they can nail the social media companies censoring people really hard on this.

So on second thought I hope they remove one of Trumps tweets. That should provide the necessary motivation.

They have clear guidelines. If a normal Twitter user posted the things Trump does they would be banned. Same as this forum

Ok guy. I think it's dumb and a reach but you do you boo!
 

You can almost hear Biden say "If you don't know who "those people" are then you ain't black".

Their guidelines doesn't override federal laws for publishers.

Apparently if you edit someones tweets (or statements), you become liable for their content.
That was a comment I read somewhere. I'm not sure how true that is, but in the land of litigation we shall find out soon enough.
