I don't trust google to catch everything; if i cared i'd scrape all the comments from '06 and grep through them locally; i'll leave that as an exercise for the interested student.<br /><br />FT: i don't dismiss your ideas, i scrutinize them - that's what you resent about me, and it's the complete opposite of dismissal.<br />As for mocking and jeering, i make no apologies for trying to make this fun from time to time. I have my own idea of where the line is, and i appreciate that we can reasonably disagree about where that line should be. Thing is, i don't know where your line is: based on the offence you take, it seems even mild cheekiness is out of bounds; whereas based on the barbs you make against your perceived enemies, your line is somewhere between roy chubby brown's and doug stanhope's. Compare for example the occassions where i have wished you dead (zero times i believe, but i assume if i did umbridge would be taken, quite reasonably imo) with the occassions where you wished that upon me (i've genuinely lost count).<br />I try to be freindly and reasonable to all, but you seem to resist that. Apparently you would prefer me to hate you.

It sounds too innocent (at least to me, I associate "ain't" primarily with white cockney dialects) to explain the response -- especially when far worse is routinely posted and/or defended (eg, presidential tweets -- isn't it depressing that this is even a phrase?). I guess my ear for dialect is tuned a lot differently from yours, but I don't feel like it could make *that* much difference.<br />I'm willing to take your word for it that Ducky appeared as a troll in 2006, but that was a long time ago and I believe in redemption -- there isn't much he could have said back then that I'd hold him to now, even if I'd seen it first-hand.jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865247084509280406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-46501374827809718432019-10-11T10:02:38.065-05:002019-10-11T10:02:38.065-05:00To try to sum it up: The Duck –– like every LEFTIS...To try to sum it up: <b>The Duck</b> –– like every LEFTIST I've ever known –– is <b>"Everyone's Critic and No One's Friend."</b><br /><br /><b>Leftists don't have FRIENDS, they only have ALLIES</b> in their ceaseless struggle to overturn the status quo and refashion society to suit theirpet prejudices of the momentFranco Aragostahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088635482766081825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-34715502988180452472019-10-11T09:55:10.594-05:002019-10-11T09:55:10.594-05:00I know just how you feel, Baysider.
