heh

I gave a real opinion and I backed it up.

 

Now go fuck yourself

No, you didn't.

But you did prove my point.

Again.

The fact that the President of the United States could spend that much time providing that much quote on the situation without once even mentioning White Supremacists (let alone condemning them) is extraordinarily bad.  Its a horror show.  And sorry, the only way you can not see that is if you sympathize with those White Supremacists.

I think the Devil's cleverest trick (aside from the classic one of convincing everyone that he doesn't exist) is rebranding
White Supremacists as the "Alt Right."  Putting "Alt" in front of something makes it sound trendy and cool and a refreshing alternative to the usual ideological menu picks.

Josh chose sides many years ago. It's a Boston thing.

The rest of the time, I feel no more strongly about your BS than anybody else's including my own. You're not the only person to have brought up people's real names and I jumped all over them, too. But you are too caught up in your own persecution complex to be able to understand that.

Like Trump, I support their right to assemble - with the same respect I give BLM.

Like Trump, you deny that Trump is a racist.

You also seem to deny that his efforts to control things are fascist.

If this was 1939 kid would be a member of the Bund.

And you'd be picking cotton, right?

STFU.

In 1939? In the New York metro area?


Oh, yeah. I forgot you know shit about historical eras. You’re the guy who swore the Civil War Battle of Memphis was of greater importance than the invasion of Normandy.

I knew you'd miss the sarcasm. Listen, dude, you're telling people to get fitted with brown shirts is fucked up, and that was the point, and you KNEW it was the point, so don't try to turn it into something else.

That's a poor move on your part.

Sarcasm?

Bullshit.

If kid wants to compare the KKK to BLM then I’m gonna call him out on that. That you see a need to defend him out of some warped sense of decorum merely demonstrates you’re full of shit.

  Banks gave his own county up earlier today. Don't put that shit on me. And you know as well as anyone that he has had NUMEROUS CHANCES to move forward and bury the hatchet. But he can't do that, because he is obsessed with trying to "even the score".

He can't. So, to be truthful, again, as I always am...

I am not feeling persecuted.

All I did this past few days is to bring to the fore what you and many on the left hate---being exposed for doing the same things they accuse others of doing. You and others say you hate how Trump and the GOP demonize and practice the politics of personal destruction---"Crooked Hillary", "Lying Comey", and yet, you and others--and your defenders---- feel you can just label anyone who disagrees with you politically as a Nazi, a white supremacist, a racist, a bigot, and one who is being fitted for a brown shirt.

Do you actually think I CARE what anyone "here" thinks of me personally? Then you really don't know me very well.

Do you actually think that ANYONE "here" is who they really truly are "off-board"?

You CANNOT be serious! You CANNOT be that naive.

People here call me on my shit---many times rightfully so---and it doesn't bother me. When I do the same, they take deep offense.

Do a search on the phrase "Go fuck yourself", and see whose name comes up the most.

Then ask yourself if you are doing a good job monitoring the discussion.

Do the same with "Nazi" or "brown shirt".

I'd say most here need to develop a thicker skin---or play a different game.

And you, sir, should either take you title seriously,  so that others do, or admit that you are a MINO---Moderator in Name Only.

No, it merely demonstrates that you are doing exactly what you say you hate. And I'm not defending his POV, just his right to express it.

He can express his POV all he pleases, and I’m gonna interpret his words as I hear them. If you can’t accept that it’s on you.

I am NOT gonna “tolerate” anyone who equates BLM with fucking Nazis.

Uh, I’ve never made any attempt to disguise my identity. I’ve posted my bylines, I’ve posted articles and essays from my kids. My history, recounted in here numerous times is mostly a matter of public record. I’ve posted under the NYKnicks12 monicker for more than twenty years starting in the old Times forum but EVERYWHERE else on the web I’m LarryBnDC or my full name Larry Bellinger.

You’ve seem to forget you called me a liar when I shared the FACT Dylan Roof murdered my cousin.

All I can say about trolls is:

Feed them and they will grow.

As for equating BLM and Nazis, I think that calls for a mental health professional rather than any attempt at reasoned argument.  I mean that's just sad.

It seems the history teacher/home ec troll has forgotten a lot of his personal history in Elba and adopted a revisionist take.

Because he doesn't like the real history he opts for fake news and a big lie.

The truth is because I've serially embarrassed him here for years, and showed him to be nothing more than an ill-tempered idiot, he took the "fight" off-line and decided that publishing my private informatioon would cow me into submission.

But the stupid indecent troll miscalculated.

There is nothing I'm ashame of in my private life, but my family does not need to be put in harms way by an indecent troll.

There will never be an evening of the score for the troll who fell behind as the ridiculed hammy, fell further behind as the shamed utley1, fell to the basement as the disgraced pigday and reincarnated briefly as les miz.

All to even the score of a game he can never win. as he is ill-equipped to play.

As to burying the hatchet, he was given one chance to become the "newer better utley" he promised but with a little prodding within a week's time he soon fell deeper into his own personal cesspool commmitting the same sins, publcly revealing private information he had scoured the web for, info that was none of his business and began repeating the same fabricated lies as his earlier personas had relied upon as a defense to his inability to keep up with the smarter kids.

Its laughable that the troll who runs away in a rage so often, and morphs into a new nom de web, tells others to develop a thicker skin.

The troll is so easily manipulated.

And troll lastly

But you'll be fine with equating Nazis with Republicans.

It’s good that the nation is finally decoupling respect for the presidency with respect for the man occupying the office. It is an important milestone in decoupling the presidency from the man occupying the office, which can’t happen soon enough.

More locally, utley is a victim of his environment. Unless you have great inner reserves, Philly makes you mean and stupid. Has anyone tested the water there recently?
