Same thing it always is. People insult each other and then point out that someone else did it too, or first, or worse, then a moderator does something about it and people complain about that too.
They stop for maybe an hour and slowly re-start the cycle of personal denigration until a moderator does something again.
Not exactly.....
Cliff Notes: Sew repeated a story long proven false that an ad run by Sarah Palin's political committee was directly, or in some lessor manner, responsible for pushing Jarad Loughner over the edge and he shot Congresswoman Giffords in a fit of political rage.
I pointed out to Sew that lie had been completely disproven for years. (Loughner was apolitical, never saw the ad and year before anyone had every heard of Sarah Palin, had already written notes about shooting Giffords)
Sew, to his credit, admitted his error and as much as we do on here, somewhat apologized. However, the child who often hides behind his skirts doubled down on the story. When I pointed out the complete falsehoods, he refused to admit and or acknowledge that he was essentially arguing 2+2=5 when everyone could see it was 4.
Not caring in the least, I repeatedly referred to my Chicago friend with exactly what he is with excessive xxxx words. Sew did what he does which is to offer as much protection as possible to our Chicago friend and shut down all the threads.
That's a summary. That's it as far as I'm concerned. I've no more to say on the topic unless the lie gets brought up as truth again.
