Anyway, I'm not a drinker.
Something that I do find troubling though and no one has pointed out is that McCain has won the nomination with more people voting against him than in 2000. So despite getting a much lower percentage than in 2000 in all of these states, he has earned the nomination.
I agree that it was an entertaining thread. Whenever VKs show up, you know you’re in for a rough ride. I’m glad you weren’t zotted.
I still think you crossed the line with the profanity. Profanity may provoke others, but it does nothing to forward your argument and loses for you the respect of most of your fellow FReepers - especially when the profanity is directed at a FReeper. That respect is hard to regain.
I think you were shown leniency because you were a Romney supporting, veteran FReeper who was “blowing off steam.” Normally, profanity-containing posts are pulled and the poster gets at least a suspension and sometimes a full Zot for followup profane posts. Tanaka (post 30) got zotted in this thread for insulting FReepers and JimRob without profanity, but Tanaka was a noob.
I look forward to “clean” sparring with you in the future. If you enjoy raucous and entertaining threads, have Darkwing104 add you to the VK list.
Forgot to mention: I like and agree with you tagline. McCain is probably under the mistaken illusion that his many “friendships” with ‘rat leaders will protect him. Nobody in the media has brought up his major past misdeeds like the Keating 5 mess.
