Just as an aside, while Jeff was deceitful and routinely went overboard (with his repetitiveness) he was at least polite. Also, once in a blue moon he would acknowledge a point in common with conservatives. Not often, yet quite sincerely on those rare occasions when it happened.
Our current Obot is just rude. Not as sharp as Jeff, as you pointed out, but just plain boorish. That would be what I dislike about him most...if it weren’t for the evasions and deceit. So it’s a three-way photo finish, but at least no one will ever confuse him for the never-banned J. Winston.
I'm drawing a blank when attempting to recall such occasions. Obviously they were rare indeed! :)
I remember hammering him to death with his deceit on that Bingham quote, and he never acknowledged that he was wrong about Bingham supporting his position, and indeed, would continue to use that truncated quote to claim support from Bingham.
I remember him trying to wheedle on occasion, but I regard that as different from being polite. He was only so polite as he thought he needed to be to induce people to agree with him. When he realized you weren't going to, the fangs would come out again.
I am glad he is gone. If I have any regrets it's that I can't continue mocking and taunting him further. :)
