    Fact - I pointed out blatant anti-semitism (i.e. Jews are cheap) by the poster.

    Fact - Which you ignored/allowed/endorsed by your inaction.


    Fact -It was undeniably a vile and childish slander of the President's mother.

    https://www.vocabulary.com › dictionary › bitch

    Bitch is a commonly used slang word that is nonetheless vulgar when you throw it at a woman or a man. The word originally meant, and still means, a female dog. This word for a female pooch has evolved to a more common meaning: a woman you don't like.

    Fact - This was a new low for the poster (as far as I know), which lessens his character. If it's not a new low for this poster, then I stand corrected.

    Either way, there is nothing in my post resembling a personal insult.

    Whatever. :cheers:

    You can try to justify it any way you want, they are still personal insults.

    Poster insults Jews. A large number of my friends are Jews.

    I point out that it's a bigoted post.

    You say there is an invisible personal insult by me somewhere in that?

    No, there is not. No person was referenced at all. No insult was posted. No insult was found by you.

    I simply noted the post so you could delete it before the Blazers saw it.

    I am absolutely certain that they aren't fans of antisemitism.

    Most of your posts are personal insults.

    Its so strange to me that the guy who has an entire thread about the, “hate-filled heroes of the left”, in which all is posted is basically slander, accusations and personal insults towards people is now trying to make a case that this thread is bigoted, and that insulting someone is bad...
    Theres probably some bigotry here, wont deny that, I doubt @Lanny would deny it either, but the forum rule is about personally insulting fellow posters, not political figures (or their moms I guess).

    My debate party was a huge success. Now I work to get attendees to become volunteers. That's how Warren campaign works. My cat loves visitors.

    I didn't say anything about anyone's mom nor do I believe in doing so. My target was the most public figure in the United States and therefor a qualified candidate for derision. Why, I've seen Obama compared to a monkey by some asshole in here. Same with Michelle Obama.

    Now, let's consider bigotry which Webster's defines as "obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices : the state of mind of a bigot"
    I'm not sure if that applies here. I once was open minded about Trump but as the 2016 election drew near, I deduced that this guy (Trump) was no good. So, I guess there now is an intolerant devotion to my opinion of Trump based on past and continuing deductions of a mountain of horrible Trump tweets and actions. In that respect, yes, I am bigoted toward Trump. His mother? She's got nothing to do with it. I don't believe in attacking the family of a public figure unless they too are involved.

    Right, and you have said in the past you believe Trump is basically the Devil (I'm paraphrasing), so that is why I said there is probably some bigotry here in terms of your opinion of Trump.

    In terms of Trumps mom... I believe they're saying you're calling her a "b*tch, when you call him an SOB. If you mean that as an insult towards his Mom I don't know, but frankly in my opinion anyway (which isn't all that important here), it's not against forum rules, even if I wish you hadn't said it.

    No, I never said that Trump was the devil.I said that he was under the influence of the devil. I might have said he was a disciple of the devil. This was deduced from years of observation.

    I did say "basically" and paraphrasing. Those were the quotes I was thinking of and your free to your opinion.

    You said that I accused him of being the devil. Far from it, I know very well that he isn't the devil but rather a gift from the devil. Not a big difference to you but a very big difference to me.

    I understand the difference, it wasn't meant to offend you... Just the overall point was you do have very strong feelings about Trump and it probably could fall under the "Bigotry" definition. However, it doesn't seem like it breaks any forum rules as at least in my estimation you didn't insult a poster directly.
