    Got it.
    Nope, you missed the point again and thus you are still to adress his actual point. Whataboutism and personal attacks wont help.

      So at first you wanted to get away with the "nitpick" thing (used way too many times) and when that did not work, you remove my post. Thanks for showing (to the loyal friends who are very welcome in my car) that you have got nothing of substance and thus gave up and removed the stuff because you are the "moderator".

        I wanted to see if you had a genuine point to make or you were just doing your normal yipping and derailing from the peanut gallery. Once it was obvious that it was the latter, I moved the posts. I included any responses from me and MM too.

        PS I am not the moderator. I am one of the owners. If you don't like the way we run our own site, hit the road. Or start your own site. We are tired of you just popping in to make stupid comments, nanny others, and derail threads. Thus we created this catchall thread, and any moderator can move your posts here when you start your nannying or derailing.

        If you don't want your posts moved, then make relevant contributions to threads.

          Relevant contributions like asking you to support your claims. It is interesting that you regard that as a derail.

            Chuck, I was stating my opinion of why the election went to Trump and I mentioned various facts like Hillary's email server, and other controversies that occurred during the election. I have no idea what you expect me to support, nor why I should bother. I don't give a rat's behind if you believe me or not. I was not even addressing you. If you don't believe the controversies happened then go google them. If you don't believe they effected the vote, then you are a moron.

            So either you are a moron, or you were just doing that as a nip at my heels in order to try to bother me because you are a small minded troll. I assumed the latter so your posts were moved here. If you are indeed a moron, then I apologize. But the posts still did not belong in the thread because they were derailing it.

              I have already explained that there is no disagreement as to what went on. The question is if that was the only cause for Hillary to lose (like you claimed) or if other factors were important (like Russia promoting and distorting some of the stories) like I find likely. I only asked you to support your claim that this is ONLY about Hillary's behaviour and nothing else. Cut the personal attacks and get to the point. Show some true honesty and move this back to the post where it belongs and either provide evidence or admit you don't have any.

                It was pointed out to me that this was YOUR thread Chuck, so I moved the posts back. You are free to derail and nanny your own thread all you want.

                I will bow out.

                  You are very free to give an answer and continue discussing. Now that you are no longer the ultimate nanny who asks someone to stay in the car you can provide the ultimate answer instead.

                    I did answer you above. Like I said, I don't give a rat's patootie what you think about my opinion.

                          You should have left the posts in the Asylum just because the idea of Chuck derailing his own thread is hilarious.

                            And he can continue to do so here since it is his thread. I just need to remember to check the thread starter next time. And avoid threads started by Chuck.
