    Which particular rules are you refering to, MM.

        Personal attack? Sharing my personal opinion in a friendly way, even including a smiley fact, is a "personal attack"?

        Come on, Jim, you're really reaching.

        Now, if there's something you'd really like my opinion on, feel free to ask.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          By wanting to out the whistle blower, by being angry he outed Trumps misdeeds, by arguing for his exposure and acknowledhing arguments by those who want revenge against him, the mob mentality that punishes those that expose their crime is being expressed.

              The identity and alleged bias of the whistle-blower is irrelevant given that his allegations have been corroborated.

              "mobster mentality"? Since when does seeking the truth equate to "mobster mentality"
              When the messenger is threatened and persecuted for exposing the truth.

                Assuming that's true, then the claim "he is innocent" is equally irrelevant.

                So, perhaps you can bail out your buddy - where's the "mobster mentality" among us Twebbers?

                  Jim, when somebody says "If you don't understand now, then you just dont want to understand", it's pretty much an admission that they went a little overboard.

                  Who, among us Twebbers, has demonstrated a "mobster mentality"?

                    Anyone that doesn’t agree that Trump is the most evil person that ever existed?

                      What thread are we in, and why was it started? To gloat over the outing of the whistle blower. An action that if his/her name is actually correct is sure to result in retribution towards that individual. Gloating over the outing of a person just trying to expose serious crimes that otherwise might go undetected is 'engaging in a mobster mentality'. The mentality that wants to judge and punish those that expose the crimes of the 'mobsters'.

                      So, just read through the thread and take note of everyone that shows disdain for the whistle blower and happiness at the potential of him/her being exposed. That is your list.

                          I'm not sure what thread you're reading, but there's been no gloating in this one.

                          But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                          Than a fool in the eyes of God

                            You'd be more convincing if you took off your "I love Trump so much that I always defend" him glasses and read it again.
