Your initial response in this thread ABSOLUTELY included you.

Thank you for proving the point to everyone involved.

Not once did I disagree with the assertion of the poster. Not once did I say they SHOULD have pulled it. After looking and finding bits of the poster, I expressed that it was shittily done both in the method and the effort of putting it together. HE COULDNT EVEN BE BOTHERED TO frickING TAPE HIS OWN PAPER STRAIGHT ON THE BOARD.

If he doesn’t care enough about his own work to do that, why should I care enough to defend it?

Well shite, that’s not in lockstep with the preferred vision so I must be a liberal. Post history be damned, actual viewpoint be damned, I don’t agree you damned dirty liberal!

Never mind that a correct conclusion argued poorly turns away undecideds and poisons the well for those who can argue well.

The closest to endorsement I came was offering a rationalization as to why it could not be the cookie cutter assumptions that people are pigeonholing the story into.

So assuming that I have a front row seat of what happened, that I know not only what happened but why it happened, based on what happened in the past is the height on enlightenment and you are justified to feel so strongly about it to warrant a vocal response.

Not jumping because the media painted the story a certain way, reacting in spite of the fact that if you start digging, shades of grey pop out that suggest contrary to the POV loved here.....well that’s lazy and obtuse.

Never mind that I’m sure I can find you trashing the MSM on this board. But their testimony of events is somehow still trustworthy enough to evoke a response.

Sorry, nope. I’ve been involved to some degree to multiple stories that hit regional/national and seeing first hand the level of twisting that occurred to fit the narrative of the week means I’m not taking it for granted.

Especially with the articles editorialize more than report testimony.

So if not just assuming I know everything because the story seems like it may fit in some category in my head makes me lazy and obtuse, then I will wear that dunce cap with pride. Only thing I’m guilty of is being too “lazy” to spell things out for people who have already decided what everything means in such a way that they couldn’t twist the argument instead of seeing it for what it was.
