I guess I'm just dumb, but I can't wrap my head around that....offering an opinion different than one orignally offered is hardly an attack, especally when many consider both points to be quite valid.
Gadzooks! Someone was paying attention. The part I "loved" was how Prickly Pear (tee hee) was so offended that her views on a controversial subject weren't universally shared that she opined "This just reinforces why I don't come here much anymore." Shucks, had I known I'm not entitled to an opinion I could have been spared the so-called super-moderator's comments placating her supposedly hurt feelings.
"Hands Up, Don't Cyber-Shoot" the messenger I pleaded referencing the video evidence which seemingly fell into the same category as the (ahem) faked moon landing. (If you need to manually activate your sarcasm detector it's too late.)
It was then that "The Darren Wilson of Pineapples" unloaded her "kill" shot (see also Greg King quote about never getting into an argument with an idiot) fabricating facts, claiming without any evidentiary basis that the video had been altered, while schooling me on being prejudice and other shortcomings. Maybe I should hold up a mirror quoting The Great And Powerful Pineapple: "This just reinforces why I don't come here much anymore."
P.S. When Shaggy sings "It wasn't me" he's being tongue-in-cheek. Hope that helps.
