I have not insulted you. You have lied and misrepresented my posts in an egregious manner, and still won't come clean and admit it. Just because you put two words together doesn't mean hate speech was involved. Is this statement hate speech? I can't believe people say Clinton is a liar and rapist, how absurd. When you make up things up about other peoples posts, don't expect to be treated wonderfully and sensitively. Making up words and inferences to me is one of the rudest ways to insult people on SI. Now admit it Scumbria, you made up the claim that I posted 404 hate messages about Clinton on this tread. Show some character and be honest with yourself and this thread.
