NFT: This spiraled out of control

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/20/2017 4:19 pm
And I should have kept to my rule of not posting on NFTs.

I do not agree with the man's politics and question his ethics. But he served his country and I wish the best for his family.

I am not sure why you couldn't figure out the reason for it being deleted.
I mean my first guess would have been poor grammar  
Bill L : 7/21/2017 12:59 pm : link
or possibly font choice, but still...

If this was a real forum you could lock threads instead of deleting them.

So I missed out on all the fun and am just catching up now, tell me if I have it right:

-Somebody made a thread (Eric?) about McCain being ill. On it, in resposne to somebody praising McCain Eric questioned McCain's integrity and politics...and it spirawled from there?

-IF true, I don't understand, I thought Eric was a Republican.


Don't worry about it GoldenShower.

Eric, you messed up twice. You first messed up contributing to a political discussion. Then you messed up on this thread. You very simply should have said...."I apologize for my contribution to a political discussion. We have a rule that there is no political discussion for a variety of reasons and I broke my own rule and for that, I apologize."

Thats it. Not try to justify what you actually said. Please let me know if you'd like me to be your PR guy.


Spicey's looking for a job.

Eric is being beaten up over this idea that McCain is some pillar of unquestioned honor and integrity that is mortal humans can't even fathom.

He isn't.



He's being beaten up for using the announcement of a man having brain cancer to shit on his integrity and dedication.

A man who has served his country and the public, who isn't a criminal, is ill. Instead of wishing good thoughts or not commenting at all, the thread was used to say he doesn't have integrity and that the US is like 1860.

It's fucking bizarre.


This. I feel like we are in bizarro world that we can't show a little bit of decency here. People are entitled to their opinion of the man, but part of being a grown up is being able to shut the fuck up for a second, and knowing when the timing of a comment is inappropriate. Honestly, I've had a low opinion of Eric since #44 got elected. He made some shitty comments that revealed exactly who he is.

Like you just did towards "Spicey"? Not a hero like McCain, but had a thankless job with most of the world after his balls and he's not under investigation.
Here we go with the lame attempts at equivalence

My comment was clearly a joke made towards Keith since he offered to be a PR person. If he was terminally ill, I don't even make a comment and wish him well. See, this is what decent grownups do. Lighten up, Francis.

How dare you!!!

Spicey = McCain

McCain = Spicey

I agree...big difference between resigning and being diagnosed with cancer. And honestly, anyone who even compares Spicey to McCain really needs to look at that comparison again.
I'm mainly upset about Spicey

because now we have to look at Huckleberry Flanders at the podium.

Woof.

1/2 dead head, 1/2 minor stroke victim
How some people can't see the difference  
David in LA : 7/21/2017 1:30 pm : link
between someone resigning and being diagnosed with terminal illness is just ridiculous to the point that it makes my head want to explode. It really shouldn't be that too difficult, or am I taking crazy pills?
Sorry Greg  
David in LA : 7/21/2017 1:33 pm : link
The only people I go at for the most part are Giant24, Madcow, and Mike in Marin. Have I ever pissed on someone's grave or made a comment off the heels of news of terminal illness? Until then, take your angry short guy shtick somewhere else.
