Lincoln reportedly said “ better to remain silent and have people think you a fool than speak and remove all doubt”. It might be better to flame after you obtain facts, rather than before.

I'm pretty good at sniffing out trolls & disruptors. Sometimes they tend to be never-Trumpers, sometimes people who aren't writing clearly, and so forth. Occasionally, I misfire...most FReepers are pretty good about it once they check my posting history.

I don't care whether people question my intelligence. They're simply wrong.

As for my “lack of writing skills” in 35 years of practicing law Ive never had any judge make a similar comment. So I have to give your opinion the weight to which it is entitled.

ROFLMAO! You do realize that there's a reason there are lawyer jokes, don't you?

Your post to which I took exception was

Uh, oh! you dare to critique the faultless and brilliant former grocery store manager mark bradman aka sundance? You are asking for flam8ng from those who live and breathe and hang onto his every word, regardless of how speculative and inaccurate it might be. But I guess your correction to his article will, unlike posting at Conservative Treehouse, still allow you to stay on FR. Over at CTH any dissent, however, intelligent, is cause for immediate banning. Only the Cult of Sundance is allowed at CTH.

Note that you are openly referring to a respected right-of-center site as a Cult; even allowing for the hyperbole inherent in the sarcasm, it might fairly be taken as attempting to discredit the site as a whole.

I hope you don't use that type of imprecision in the court house; unless, of course, such is an implicit admission that the system is indeed just a game, and rigged. (See Will Lawyers Destroy Science? for example....)

The internet is a great equalizer, any idiot with a keyboard can play. Even the guys down at the manure plant.

Which is what I thought you were. I don't know if you are at the plant, or are currently acting as a licensed distributorTM; or if you merely have an individual bone to pick with CTH.

It would be hard to be a never trumper if you supported him from the first day he descended the escalator.

As for CTH, I once thought it was a rather insightful site until I did a little more analysis. Mark Bradmans thoughts and analysis are merely his opinions and speculation on what he thinks is going on. He has no inside information nor does he claim to have any. The two things I find concerning are, one, the cult of personality that exists among his readers. Read the comments to his articles. The fawning, obsequious cultlike worship is very off putting. Bradman is not the savior that his disciples claim he is. Its rather obnoxious in my view. And two, I notice that whenever a poster makes any type of comment, regardless of how well meaning or innocent, that casts doubt on bradmans theories the CTH disciples claim The offender is a troll, a never trumper or worse and almost immediately they are neverheard from again.

Any site that is as intellectually dishonest as CTH is not worth much in terms of credibility. All authoritarians, be they right or left wingers, destroy any type of dissenting opinion. CTH is right in there with the best of the fascist authoritarians.

But dont take my word for it. Spend some time actually critically analyzing the treehouse. You will likely see the same things I did. Oh, and one last thing. My opinion of Conservative Treehouse is apparently shared by many other conservatives according to the internet postings of others.
