Don't be too hard on yourself. Reading is hard.

I'm sure that BUTT appreciates having his joke explained.

Well if approach works for Trump...

There's so much horseshit in this post that it's hard to know where to first place the shovel.

That sounds like something you'd come up with, but I'll pass.

But other than that, its name hasn't changed. 

I thought this was Albert's age in Years, Days, and Minutes.

Well, yeah, Obama's coming for the guns. It's understandable.

Jason said news.

...and yet you two remain Angels fans.

Reworded ...
Neocons have successfully made Alex Jones into a sympathetic figure, but only in the eyes of those who already agreed with the tinfoil fantasies he was selling.  Basically, they've made Alex Jones into a sympathetic figure only to themselves.
No doubt they feel congratulations are in order.
 

There's so much truth to this and this is truly an important post. I think most, if not all of us are guilty of considerably abandoning our civility in this forum. I certainly have been at times. I truly believe that we could benefit from a conversation style that would mesh the best parts of both in person and online discussion, because they certainly each have pros and cons. In person, especially with people that we don't know all that darn well, we're far more likely to avoid uncomfortable discussions but to keep things civil. Online, there's a depth of discussion that can't be achieved always in person due to the timeframe over which we carry out discussions, but man oh man people can treat each other like garbage in ways we'd never dream of in person.
The thing is... How can this be done? Online our feedback can be limited to "likes" etc, which are more or less the equivalent of receiving a high five or something like that with every sentence/paragraph we'd utter in person. The risk/reward system for online discussion is completely jacked.

I don't understand why you can't just admit you were wrong and try to move on. It's honestly not a big deal.

Why? Why so early in the day with this? Can we at least all have our coffee?

Well, it's important to note that 4 can lead to 2 (which can then lead to 1), so we're probably all just best off doing 3 and heading to the gym.
