JFC   :lmao:   FWIW, I have zero doubt in my mind that Warren is female.  If that's what Clayton thought I was saying it says a lot more about him than it does me.  
He probably thought that’s what you were saying because that is the clear meaning of the words you used. 

If you didn’t mean it that way you should be more careful.

Disagree.  Might I suggest you take Henry's advise here?

First - Context is everything.  If you, or Clayton, were watching the debate it should have been obvious that when eoMMan said, "Let's hear more from the ladies." he wasn't referring to Warren since she had fielded a large portion of the questions up to that point.  I was just reinforcing that.

Second - The term used was "ladies".  You claim to understand the meaning of that word, however, you must be unfamiliar with it's use as polite form of reference.  To jump to the conclusion that it is was being used as a synonym to gender is completely wrong, and frankly, insulting in of itself.

Come on folks, this is the 21st century.  We should not presume the gender of anyone.  That is a private and personal descion.  We need to talk in gender neutral terms unless someone specifically identifies themself that way.

Good to see you agree that tony was jokingly questioning Warren’s gender

Suppose he had? 

I want to propose a change in the rules around here. It won’t be accepted but what the heck I’m going to propose it anyhow: 

We should never be allowed to insult or disrespect each other. We should always show each other the greatest amount of courtesy and be excellent at all times. Similarly, we should never make generalizations about large groups of people (all Democrats are socialists, most Trump supporters are racist,etc.) 

But we SHOULD  be allowed to insult, denigrate, make fun of, mock, politicians of all stripes. And nobody should be offended by that.

You're right. Will never happen here as long as I'm here. Politicians are people. 

We're all in this together.

Tim, you can PM (or email) me all the names you'd like to call Trump if it makes you feel better.

I don’t disagree, but it’s not my board, and I don’t have an issue with how the board is run  

To me it’s obvious what tony meant, but also obvious he was joking. My issue is with him now parsing words to pretend something different.

I think you are dead wrong on this. To each his own.

Were you reading the thread while watching the debate?

Aren’t you the same guy who called another poster a liar in another thread today? Yes, you ate. 

Nice grandstanding here in the mods thread in an attempt to look pure.

For context?  The context was someone said the women should get more questions. You agreed and said Warren should get less. The context of agreeing, immediately followed by saying warren should get less, shows your meaning. 

If you meant what you claim, you’d have said, “agreed, but Warren should get less” or “agreed, except for Warren.”

It’s frustrating having to explain how plain English works to folks in this forum.

Last night. I affirmed it today.

Again I have no idea whether or not Don't Noonan is a liar in real life. But I DO know that the majority of his posts in this subforum are filled with falsehoods and dishonesty. That's really not debatable at this point.

Not even in the top 10 posters with falsehoods

If you think that's frustrating you should try it out when people completely ignore the context explained to them.  One simple "but" after the comma would have cleared it all up for you huh?  And it's telling that you used your own version of what EoMMan said. 

 
Everyone here knows you have a top 100
Most people here don’t insist on falsehoods. That includes Trump fans btw. (There are a couple of guys, I won’t name them, who are Trump fans but will post shtick and blatantly obvious lies in order to have fun and troll people- I don’t care about them. But most Trump fans around here are honest; I just happen to very much disagree with them. And what’s funny is I’ve always liked Don’t Noonan. Outside of politics he’s an Oregon fan and I’ve always liked the Ducks even though they consistently thrash my Bruins. Prior to Trump I’ve enjoyed DN’s political commentary as well; when not discussing Trump he can be insightful. 

But he is the one Trump supporter around here who engages in serious discussion and debate by telling lie after lie after lie. Sometimes, often, he is challenged, and he doesn’t respond, and then a few days later he repeats the same lie again. Does he believe what he writes to be the truth? Maybe at some level though how one can so easily dismiss facts that contradict ones opinion is beyond me. It’s a skill I don’t possess. 

I still like him and wish he’d snap out of this. But this Trump thing is a like a cult for some people I guess. 

 
That’s literally what the word “but” does. It transforms two thoughts that are meant to be consistent to two thoughts that are meant to be inconsistent.

So you are sinking to the level of the cult comments. Wow

Ditto for the comma.  Surely you can see how silly it is now though right?  Or you can just go all-in and call me a liar.

 
I don’t think I materially changed the exchange, but here it is:

“Let's hear more from the ladies.”

 “Agree, less questions to Sen Warren.”

I take your objection to the women/ladies issue to mean your joke wasn’t that Warren is not a woman, but that she isn’t ladylike?

 
Ditto for the comma.  Surely you can see how silly it is now though right?  Or you can just go all-in and call me a liar.
No, a comma doesn’t mean the two statements are meant to be inconsistent.  A comma means they are meant to be consistent. For example: the first sentence of this paragraph. 

And I’ve been quite clear that I think you are lying. You made a joke. A moderator didn’t like it. Now you are backpedaling. No biggie, but totally obvious.

Wrong, I don't have any issues owning up to anything I meant to say.  But, have a good one.

 
Not sure about cult.  Id guess the mods wouldn’t be too happy.  Calling people deranged...yeah, thats never going to fly and not sure why some fond that hard to believe.
Calling Trump supporters sycophants is allowed. Why is that Board Cop Sho? And why don't you know how to use the edit feature!

:lmao: . You are such a liar.  You literally just claimed you didn't call me a liar and then you type out this load of crap.  Get over yourself.  Your opinions are not fact and be open to hear other opinions.  My god you have fallen off a cliff lately.  Trump is living in your head.

I’m always open to hear other opinions. My objection to your posts on Trump is not your opinions but that you state information that you claim to be facts that turns out to be false. 

 
Or proof reading.  
True.  As an informal means of communication i don't proofread as of this were a graded paper or report going to a client or a tweet as POTUS.

Most of the time, when with typos, the point and context of my posts are still intact.

I agree, but for you to call him a liar in one thread and then grandstand in this thready by saying we should all be respectful and not insult one another, is hypocritical, unless you think calling someone a liar is respectful.  Practice what you preach (sometimes). 

 
What is the FBG staff take on their site hosting a white power symbol? 

Its offensive to many people and I feel like I'm doing my part bringing it to your attention for removal. 

🙂

Happy 4th all.
