Yet Another GOP Strategist arrested for sex trafficking minors

[canpakes]

These QAnon Believer Believers are fascinated by pedophilia.

Believer believers = really committed believers.

You’re right - these Q folks are doubly committed to QAnonsense, and they are obsessed with this pedophilia stuff. It’s interesting.

[ceeboo]

These QAnon Believer Believers are fascinated by pedophilia. If that helps prevent assault and leads to prosecution of pedophiles, great. I hate pedophiles and think that should be a crime that gets capital punishment without lengthy appeals.

By the way, I think that about D. Hastert and thought that when he got arrested and tried and convicted. I am not sure why it took a google search for my sock puppet K Graham to come around on that, I need to have a conversation with myself to understand that better. Around the same time as the Hastert arrest, I think a prominent republican got popped in a bathroom stall and claimed to have a wide stance while he shat.

Whatever shallow brain it took to start this thread, and believe that it was an indictment of one party over another, could probably benefit from some Vitamin D supplements, sunshine, fresh air and therapy. It is a mask or outright gaslighting or just plain effing stupid ranting rabid ideological BS. Oh, wait, my sock puppet started this thread... let me rephrase that.

The point of this thread was to create a cartoon of the rabid and insane conversations and dialogue that happen - even when the topics are life threatening and serious. Anything can be twisted into an ideological bitshat lunatic rant about the opposition. This is a case where Carville was wrong. If liberals, progressives, moderates or anyone else wants to communicate and lead their party, the country, or a cause, they better get their act together and organize. The first leader that reaches across the aisles of legislatures, school board meetings, union meetings, labor negotiations and health and human services to address real threats, without ranting like K Graham - will actually lead.

In the meantime, K Graham, Chap and Schmo have shown us all, once again, why nobody wants to ride in a car with them. Their foaming ranting ideological lunatic insane and illogical reactions are unbalanced, unmoored and unhelpful.

I care about minors. I care about safety. I care about the basic needs of children. I care about health. I do not give one damn about a bunch of lunatic fringe yammering dicks on a message board, or their equivalents in the community. Politicization of the crime (by either side) is not helpful. We need cooperation, not polarization. So K Graham, Chap and Schmo, off you f***. Come back when you can have a normal conversation.

A spectacular post!

Extremely well done, Cultellus.

Sure you do. You’re spending your time lecturing them right here, and you claimed (alternately) that you were here to either save this forum or ruin it.

Maybe odd days for save, even days for ruin? That would be nice. You can mix that in with your disinviting of others who you don’t agree with, right?

(just trying to save you, lol)

You want to play this out, canpakes? Are you done, or do you want a response to this? I will give you one. But you better decide if you want it.

The floor is yours, if you want it. You don’t need my invitation.

You are welcome to, at any time of your choosing, stop disgracing this board, canpakes. If you want to play these games, resign from the moderator role so we can deal with you on a metaphorical level field. In the meantime, please know that you are not taken seriously whatsoever. You are the ultimate stooge for the sandbox lot and you have managed to misrepresent your posting history and activity on this board to shield yourself and your pals.

I understand that moderators can and should participate in the forum conversations. That is a healthy condition that Shades has put in place. He also has a standard that moderators should not have a beef with other members.

If you want to be a moderator, you must have a strong track record of keeping your cool and avoiding, for the most part, knock-out, drag-down conflicts with other members. Disagreements here and there are fine, but if you have a reputation for constantly antagonizing one or more people, then you probably won't be selected.

I posted a reasonable post about the topic and you, as usual, just twist and needle and manipulate words. You are incessantly pestering posters that are not part of the Chap/Alf/Schmo/Gad club. If you want to continue do that - GREAT! Nothing is stopping you, you should, you can. If you want to do that as a moderator, either give us the option of ignoring you (like Schmo does for posters) or get the hell off the moderator team.

You are either unfit to have intelligent conversations, or you are unwilling. I do not give one goddamn which of those conditions apply to you. What I know is, as a moderator, who needles and perpetually antagonizes one or more people, we need to be able to either ignore you or tell you to pound sand without the complication of having your antagonizing behavior mingled with the moderator team.

I do not care at all, about you. I just do not. If you disappeared from this board, I think it could be more entertaining around here, and if you stay, it could be more entertaining around here. But with you misbehaving and violating a key published standard for moderators, it is less entertaining than it could be. So grow up.

Thank you for bringing Cultellus' post to my attention. Its tone and content once again reassure me that having him on ignore is a rather good idea.

Could you kindly post an example of any recent post by me that could fairly be characterised as "foaming ranting ideological lunatic insane and illogical"?

That will help me understand why you decided that the post you quote was so "Extremely well done".

Ah. Now you’re disinviting me, too. Sorry, but I can’t accommodate you.

It’s indeed amusing that your britches are wrapped up around the idea that I “perpetually antagonize(s) one or more people”, given your first 2000 posts doing just that to a dozen other folks.

But, I understand that you’ve changed now, and want to be taken seriously. That’s great. You can also survive in the midst of opinions and comments that differ from yours, I trust, without going into meltdown after meltdown.

And as for my posting history - it’s all here, all 10 years or so of it, readable by anyone who wishes … unlike yours, which has been subject to “… misrepresent(ing) your posting history and activity on this board to shield yourself and your pals”, by you. Please aspire to attain the standards that you want to impose on others.

So, apparently all that hand-wringing was just for show, eh ceeboo? I notice you've done nothing to actually defend your own criticisms. I'm not surprised, given they are indefensible.

Fair and balanced... sure man. You probably think you're smart and good-looking, too.

He does? Did he say that somewhere?

Holy “F”, that's hilarious.
