Okay ... I understand your hesitancy to answer.  No worries.

But I will not knock myself out @CatherineofAragon  I will remain conscious --- and vigilant.   

 

The vigilance of moderation....

Cognitive thinking is apparently not your strong suit.

I had the same accounting professor for over 30 semester hours. His tests were all essay...five questions, of which the answers to at least two questions would start with, "based on the information you've given, I cannot answer this question." From there, you would have to discuss your answer in detail.

Providing the professor with an appropriate answer required a lot more than 140 characters.

Still a swing and a miss.  But the edit was a good try at a save.

The real challenge is distilling an answer to 144 characters. Effective headlines and soundbites, tell stories in the attention span many will focus on them.

The point is to influence their beliefs, and urge them to action. College professors often teach, because they fold in the reality of the real world.

Boss says "get me the best answer possible, by 5 PM today." One type of analyst/accountant says "I can't do a thorough, technically perfect analysis, by then. Boss says "well get me somebody else that can hear. I said get me the best answer by 5 pm."

e.g. Don't tell me what you can't do, tell me what you can do.

I see he's picking up where he left off during the campaign inciting people to do violence. 

And equally sad is seeing that there are still people thinking this is a good thing.

@corbe ... while I'm a wee bit flattered to be living rent free in your head .... you really do need another hobby.   

This looks like fun ... and with a little practice you'll be giving the guy in the white shirt a run for his money!!  Good luck.

Remain as vigilant as you wish.

You will, however, cease telling people what to post and how they should post. Instead, you will hit report like everyone else is supposed to but usually doesn't.

Do we have an understanding or does the lesson need to be more direct?

No @txradioguy .. my post is an example of "tongue in cheek".

Ehh.... while I don't see his latest stupid tweet (the WWE one) as inciting violence particularly... and I see it was meant as humor, I still do, however, see it as just more stupid "Lookatme!  Lookatmeeee!!"  behavior on his part.....  which serves no purpose in reality other than to keep the name "Trump" on everyone's minds and lips.   This apparent need of his to BE on everyone's mind and lips at all times is what is more troubling to me.... and is becoming more and more disturbing as time goes on.

Reddit User Taking Credit For Trump Tweet Video Has History Of Bigoted Posts

Within the confines of a Reddit group dedicated to Donald Trump, one user has become a hero.

A video posted five days ago by user "HanAssholeSolo" shows a man in a business suit, with the CNN logo superimposed over his head, getting slammed into the floor outside a wrestling ring by Trump. It appears to be the same video shared by the president himself on Twitter Sunday morning.....
