You are kind to say I am funny. Personally, I crack myself up, and I am pleasantly surprised when others ‘get it’, too. Thanks for feeding my scrawny little ego.
As for adding to this thread, I am not skilled at verbal ‘debate’—if, indeed, that describes what is going on here. I’m not easily offended and tend to give what others say the benefit of a doubt. I’m also not well-read politically, which is a great disadvantage when the cartridge-brass piling up in the trench begins to get knee high.
Besides, I’m not really needed. There are plenty of forum members here with the warrior spirit (which I can only parody) and know-how to bring ‘em in, set ‘em up, and get out of the way so Mr. R can take them out.
As for getting taken out myself, it could happen. I’ll still be able to lurk though, which is FR’s version of the afterlife.
Back up the thread there is a list of ‘removed rouges’, and I looked at their posting histories for patterns. Rooting for Rudy is not a mortal sin, but denigrating conservative values (as listed here and elsewhere ad nauseum) is. I’ve no target on my chest on that account.
Also fatal are hit-and-run attacks, where someone posts some unsupported assertion(s) and then doesn’t respond to the rebuttals before running off to post the same dreck on the next thread. Again, not guilty.
Finally, poking Mr. R in the eye and laughing about it is akin to making toast while bathing. I don’t know him personally, but I appreciate what he has made here and admire what he is trying to do with his creation. I haven’t read many of his posts, but his command of rhetoric, while much better than mine, seems to be less than remarkable. Nevertheless, I read his message loud and clear, and it resonates with my core beliefs. His communication skill isn’t as important as that of those he has gathered around him, here at FR. Their presence says more than either he or they alone can express.
As for this post giving the game away—doesn’t matter because the game can’t resist the lure and will come on to it despite what better judgement they may possess.
Shhh! Be vewy kwiet—we’re hunting wabbits!
