Cog,
At one point there was another poster using your same avatar, can't recall the same ATM. Someone using that avatar went in a full blow racist rant one day, made a really nasty post. Then went silent for a couple of days thereafter.
Now I can't recall which poster it was and I'm not going back to find out. BUT folks could be excused for confusing the two posters using a single avatar. Mprobably a practice we should ban.
All that said there is something in your affect that does lead one to assume you have racist tendencies. Your posts have that "smell."
I know you have disavowed it in the past, but it lingers.
Still waiting for you to find that racist smell to my posts or perhaps an apology would do.
Cog,
I didn’t call you racist in that post. And there was another post stream where we went over it in detail, where I accepted your position. Where you said something along the lines of “I wish to God we would apply the constitution equally to all Americans.”
Now back the quoted post, it reminds me of an old saying.
If someone calls you an ass, ignore it.
If a second calls you an ass, look in the mirror.
If the third calls you an ass ... buy oats.
Often your posts are coherent, thoughtful and insightful. But then you go on a bender and become an obnoxious troll; arrogant, insulting, and intentionally agitating.
Then you wonder why folks misunderstand and accuse of things you don’t mean? Really?
You play the wounded hero poorly.
