Yes, though I created my own style guide for the papers I ran.  I abhor their timidity with an Oxford comma!  It's too easy to miss when you need it, and then you get someone welcoming the United States and its territories, Canada and Mexico!

You're GD right, @Right_in_Virginia

Spot on!

Disappears for months....we all have lives and what comes with it....and here it is again.   Riding that GD fence again.  Playing the Sage.

We who've been together for decades know these things.....it's not clairvoyance.

Yup ... like I said .. it's a gift--of sorts.   :beer:

Oh, crap, I wanted to stay out this ... but.... @mystery-ak   The point is, as I see it, @Lando Lincoln



Point being:  LL chose "Mr" over "President" -- a subtle diss at the POTUS.  But this time he got clipped by oncoming traffic.   ^-^


@DCPatriot

@Right_in_Virginia

You mean by you and DCP,  the two sorest winners in history?   That's truly funny!

OK I forgive you for some of the things youve done, thank you

   Thanks @driftdiver that means a lot to me, our relationship here has been quite contentious lately and I'm not laying all the blame in your ball court.

Did you know that Donald Trump is still President of the United States despite all your nattering?


I had my suspicions, since it didn’t do anything for 8 years to remove the previous occupant.



I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I say we check the posting history of you and the rest of the little Gang of 8 and find out how many times you guys have referred to the President simply as "Trump".

You're just further proving the point that you absolutely refuse to let anyone say or get away with saying anything positive about the President that hasn't had their lips firmly affixed to his posterior for the last three years the way you and a handful of others here clearly have and still do.

It's not enough that members here who might not have voted for Trump (ooops look what I did!  *****rollingeyes*****) find thigns he's done good on and give him credit where credit is due.  You expect...no you DEMAND 100% blind fealty to everything the man does 100% of the time form every member here or they are just sh*t on your shoe.

It's pathetic on your part. And it makes you part of the problem that leads to the split and constant hostility between the members.

And at this point I think you WANT it that way.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I no longer care to participate. That I have judged by a comment I only intended as 100% respectful (yes, it is true) is enough. That I have been accused, impugned and indicted because of a “tell” says more about others than it does me.

And they thus accomplish their goal.  I must admit that I am damned close to doing the same and leaving them to their now expanded safe space.

Even if all of this were true, and I don't believe it is, so what?  It doesn't affect one single thing, anywhere, ever, except you getting torqued off about it.

Exactly.

They are still, one and a half years in, trying to control the language used re: all things Trump.  It's idiotic.  Not to mention an ongoing attempt at censorship (can't show disrespect for Mr. Trump!  Heaven forbid!).

I'm calling him Mr. Trump from now on.  Whenever someone tries to control what is said (their version of PC), I usually do and say the opposite of what they want said (just funny that way).

The scant few authoritarians here really need to learn that words and actions have consequences.  I still remember having my posts deleted and censored during the GOP primaries by these same posters.  And yeah, it still pisses me off.

I saw it and want you to know that none of this is your fault but I'm sorely tired of the endless sniping with very little,  if any, discussion of anything substantive ever.

Have you noticed that the population of this place has dropped off quite a bit in recent months?   You an DCP should be really proud of yourselves for that.

I know nothing about @Lando Lincoln 's personal life @mystery-ak  .... I have been a fellow briefer along side LL and that is how I know him.

I hope the medical problems are lessening ... but his is not the only family struggling.  Some folks consider it private.

But, be that as it may.  Lando .. you stay.  Nancy would be lost without you.  I will take my marbles and go.  I hope this helps you feel safe enough, loved enough, honored enough not to take your disappointment with anything I said out on the rest of the Briefers.

Be well, Lando... and watch out for the oncoming.

Ciao.

The hell it isn't.

And the use of 'TRUMP' by itself, is normally one of disdain.   See: Obama.

Furthermore....this isn't about the use of 'Trump' by itself.   Everybody is 'guilty' of typing that simply out of efficiency.

Typing "Mr. Trump"....twice...never referring to his title is a tell.

Heaven Forbid @Lando Lincoln  that you should leave, I hadn't seen you that much over the past 2 months, I"d see you signed on but not necessarily your posts. Stick around. Believe me, I've gotten the short end of the stick before too, in similar situations.
