(3,827 posts)the Corey Baker GoFundMe scam. At the time I thought it was strange users on DU would do such a thing, it took me a bit of time to trust anyone after those threads.
No, I didn't know you called my "idea" a "tinfoil conspiracy". But thanks for explaining. lol
When did I derail this debate with personal attacks? LOL Please cite those instances for me. Are you talking about the dog humping a pillow GIF? LOL The "dry humping" comment? LOL
You're saying I "lost" this argument- I'm saying I didn't. Guess we will have to agree to disagree. Nothing you said convinced me to change my opinion. You could drop all of the demographics on a big round table and I still wouldn't see what you see.
I believe you have this idea of people being truthful and honest during elections- Republican voters in North Carolina and across the country are cut from the same cloth. ALL OF THEM ARE EVIL SWINE! Yes, I'm talking about GOP poll workers, volunteers, etc... I'm kinda glad I don't live in the world that you live.
Now let's add hackable election machines into the mix and we have the world we live in today. Obviously we don't see things the same way. Which is fine. It's been almost 20 years since I took a college debate class- In those 20 years I haven't written much. For me it's no big deal because I don't do a lot of writing for my IT job. I see the grammar nazis and other English majors on here talking down to folks who aren't skillful at debates, or with the written word as them. Those folks have to realize these people talk a different way than them. I get called out by friends all of the time in texts b/c they think I'm being crude and abrasive, but it mostly sarcasm and smartassery. I'm not a proper person- never have been.
The GIF isn't disgusting to me and I wasn't taking a stab at being an uncivil DU user.
Humor is subjective- Some like Carrot Top- Others (like me) find laughter while watching dog's humping pillows. Trust me, I've seen far worse pics and GIFs posted on DU.
I really am "new" here- I did signed up in 2011, or 2010- last year was the first time I started posting in the discussion forums. Before I would just lurk and read stories. In those 5-6 years I was floating around the world with my ex-gf... I didn't have time to post on here. NOw I work from home and have A LOT more time to get lost in the political cess pool of the Trump administration.
