themadpooper

I usually don't call anyone names, nor attack them personally. I am attacked pretty much everytime I post in this thread, called a troll and other names so I retorted and called dakota44 a moron - the first and only time I ever called anyone on this forum an insulting name. Feel free to consult my post history to verify this

I'm not a Trump fanatic by any stretch (I voted for Rubio in my local primary) but find the anti Trump drivel in this tread beyond boring, others on separate threads have commented similar (it's a closed shop to discussion if you're not an anti Trump sheep who wants to laugh at his latest faux pas). I just want people to try to think outside the box and realize the other side ain't that much better - in fact, Clinton is just a more polished version of Trump and there's lots of evidence out there that backs this up

I'm bored so bear with me. I've just had a brief look back and you must have short term memory loss.

I more or less agree with you when it comes to Clinton, though it's fair to say that there's a lot more truth in what she says than there is in what Trump says. I'd be happy to have an open discussion about the whole shebang. However, your approach to discussion is extremely antagonistic and discouraging, when you start out most of your posts by labelling people with the words I quoted previously.

Nutmegger

You always call people names! Virtually every post you make in every thread ends with some kind of completely unnecessary dig. You want to come across as the cool American, but instead you make yourself sound like an unmistakably British yob because you can't resist resorting to juvenile name calling.

It's shitposting. Not really trolling, but not exactly contributing to the discussion either.

Surely that's why he calls himself 'themadpooper'. It's just a persona, right? Or am I way off base?

sir_eccles

Yeah about that picture of Robert Byrd...

Interesting background!

themadpooper

Yeah, you're way off base

If we're suddenly judging eachother's choice of moniker, yours doesn't exactly inspire confidence, not that I give a monkeys you understand

SultanOfSwing

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt - I said you weren't trolling. Shitposting is a completely different thing and that is what you are doing. It's no big deal to me, either way though. The entertainment value is high whatever you're up to.

If you don't know what mine refers to, I'd be very surprised.

There's a very strange dichotomy going on right now where on the Democrat side Bernie Sanders and his supporters are being encouraged to support the presumptive nominee. Whereas on the Republican side the exact opposite is true.

dakota44

Clearly he has limited musical taste.

SultanOfSwing

Probably thinks I'm a jazz-loving muslim

This should contribute to his confusion:


Posting "A Night In Tunisia" would lead to accusations of being an ISIS sympathizer.

I didn't till I just Googled it

I'm in my 30s, I grew up on indie rock like Blur and Oasis

SultanOfSwing

I'm in my 30s, too. Presumably you had parents, though. I refuse to believe you didn't previously know about one of the better known singles of one of the UK's biggest groups though.
