[QUOTE="MadDogs, post: 2896821, member: 11175"] But he responded ... with an emoticon. Not to defend his response but he may be playing in a hotly contested integrity limbo match with (the late) Lurker66. The emoji was for the win. To his post on the other thread, he espoused a progressively challenged sans-fact opinion that he likely gleaned from a liberal coloring book. He was politely asked to back up what he said. Fact is he failed to back what he said up. Which brings about the irony that he would actually ask someone to validate a comment when he cannot do the same with his own posts. People should be free to express opinions of what they believe in any forum. For instance, had he said that "In my [I]opinion[/I] the Republican Party platform encourages systemic racism and puppy molestation", that is one thing. But to state "opinion" as a "fact" as he did is another. When one positions their opinion as fact and then fails to back up what they beyond a meme or emoticon, then their posts go in the bucket with the disingenuous and the trolls. Manage your expectations on his response and temper any retort. Last time I criticized his writing my posts were deleted and I got the ban paddle. [/QUOTE]
