Consider this your flag. I can't point to a specific post nor will I take the time to search. Suffice to say that your sarcasm and the fact that you created an entire thread to instigate a battle speaks for itself.

Please, please don't pretend to be so naive and innocent. At least stand up for your actions. I make no apologies for anything I've said and stand by my opinions and how they are stated. I don't pretend to be having a friendly exchange unless it is so. If I'm nasty it was meant to be that way. I'm not going to turn around later and act like I am puzzled at someone's reaction........PUHLEEEEEEEEEZE !!!!!!

You have shown that you want to mix it up so what's the problem. I suppose your bait thread was not for the sole purpose of inviting a fight......right? Come on, KFP......let's be real here.

Explain to me why when I use satire (Keyes implies Bush worse than Hitler) which even includes poking fun at my side (Keyes decoder rings, Keyes breakfast drinks, etc.)you say I am simply baiting people, but when your friend BibChr uses satire portraying Keyes as petty and meanspirited attacking Bush for declaring that Jesus Christ is Lord, he is merely being funny.

Why is it that you and others can come onto Keyes threads and bash him but if I get a little sarcastic in responding I am the bad guy?

Why do you and others repeatedly bring up the fact that Keyes and Kristol were roomates in college but when I finally challenge the relevance of that by reminding you that other politicians (without naming them) did some worse things while they were in college, you say that I'm trying to start a feud?

Are you and your friends above criticism?

Thank you for pointing this out. I like your sincere approach.

I have seen a lot of passive-aggressive behavior here. It doesn't surprise me when women do it (some women communicate that way, I think because they are socialized to be indirect), but there are a couple of men here who are some of the biggest offenders.

As I said before, it has crossed my mind that they are modeling Keyes (Step 1: Rip out "opponent's" lungs, Step 2: Look in the camera and GRIN!), but not knowing what's going on in their hearts and minds, I can't say for sure. It seems pretty weird to me, though.

I like it when people say what they mean and don't throw a teaspoon of sugar on it to cover up the fact that it's bitter.
