EXCELLENT! As usual. You’re getting quite creative, Colonel.
I read through the whole thread (I always do) to get the "feel" of the Zottee.
I agree with Laz (and others) that this one was a paid Troll.
The "dodging and weaving" and the "innocence/don't quite understand what you're getting at" gives them away.
Their goal is to last as long as possible in the hopes of planting seeds of doubt/discontent/leftist propaganda into the minds of new/casual FR readers.
Unfortunately for them two things have happened over the years:
1. Jim put the kabosh on all the leftists coming here to have never-ending, bandwidth wasting "reasonable discussions with conservatives" (one of the best things Jim ever did IMHO).
2. FR now has a broad group of Troll watchers with long memories who all realize that the leftist Trolls are only interesting in disrupting/propagandizing, not discussing.
My Motto: "Find them, Expose them, and Zot them to Oblivion (and beyond)!"
Stay safe and warm.
