So now Rome is reduced to playing the race card.

You gave up meat for Lent?
God bless you!
You aren’t wrong. they have no real answer so they bluster...
A) I am not "Rome."
B) I was not playing a "race card."
C) That poster has been kicked off the thread, the discussion did not involve you and
D) That was 400 posts ago, try to keep up.
Judith is not Roman, and her post made no mention of race.
or coherent ones, LOL.
I’m sorry you did not discern the real answer.
I’m sure all the other fora keeps you engaged in some important matters.
I shall bid you adieu to fully engage those important matters.
I’m not going anywhere, so you must be leaving. Au revoir!
Unable to make heads or tails of his own cryptic nonsense, Tommy turned and fled into the forest.
