So maybe she should not say things she cannot support. It is a good time as any in life to learn that lesson.

I agree with you. Read it again - the author of that post is the delicate flower MulhollandDrive (not laura_bush, the girl who got banned), you know, the one who thought "sarcasm" was "punch" :-)
MD did not get suspended from SI for that post, by the way. Nor for the ethnic harassment that followed from her and her buddies, when when thought I was really from Angola
hmmm...posting this here because i was banned on the clownish thread....(oh the horror! woe is me!)
"ethnic harassment"
some might consider that to be a libelous statement
i suppose we could go to the "stop the war" thread and find the so called harassment...of course that would again bring your honesty into question.
i did in fact respond to a something of "challenge" you made to the thread at the time to where you were from, as others at the time seemed to consider it relevant in assessing your anti-war view... (i did too, but only in the context of determining any particular political axe to grind on your part)
at one point i called you "leona from angola"
based on the fact you were making statements about how great business was in the tax haven of monaco....this also in the context of you being critical of americans complaining about their taxes...
i believe i called you a "hypocrit"
without the e (old keyboard)
calling you "leona (as in only the little people pay taxes)helmsly from "angola" (as in based on the fact you told me your country of origin had endured over 10,000 terrorist casualties)...did a quick google search an angola was the first on the list...
so the play on the new moniker was to conflate the two aspects of your background which you identified...
and it was indeed sarcasm...no i don't didn't *really* think you were leona helmsly <g> nor from angola...
now i dare say, if i were really going to "guess" i would say you were from algeria, that has more to do with your proximity to monaco, nothing more....assuming your comment about the 10,000 deaths was truthful.....
somehow "leona from algeria" just just didn't have quite the humorous ring to it that i was going for....
personally sheer indifference is what i feel when it comes to the issue of where you are from
but when it comes to asserting that guessing you were from angola is somehow in your mind "ethnic harassment", i take do take issue with that....
in fact one has to wonder what problem you it is you have with angola, or why you would construe one guessing you were from there as "ethnic harassment"... beautiful country from what i can see...
angola.org
so tell me "leona", what's so bad about angola? |
