@glitterbag,
Obama was agitating to charge him with espionage. Obama pardoned Manning to lure Assange. You guys pretending not to know that, or have you forgotten?

@Lash,
There are lines certain people don't cross. Mocking someone for a disability is one of those lines I personally won't cross.

Rabel and I have disagreed in the past a lot, and I have taken the piss about his spelling, but when I learnt it was a consequence of his disability I stopped.

You don't know that.

@izzythepush,
Yes, I do and this 'disability' racket isn't selling with me.

As I said before, if he doesn't want to hear from me, he can merely stop personally insulting me. It is completely his choice.

You can stop your lawyering for him and advise him to stop asking for it.

@Lash,
All I'm doing is pointing out certain red lines decent people don't cross. If you think mocking disabled people is fine then that doesn't really say much about as a person.

Rabel isn't doing anything with impunity. You can attack what he says with my blessing, just not the way he says it. Unless of course you want people to think you're a bigot who's prejudiced against disabled people, then carry on.

Just don't start moaning when people make assumptions about you based on that.

@izzythepush,
Yes, I completely agree we should all only respond in kind.

He attacked my intelligence.

Get a new hobby—this one’s going nowhere.

You insult our intelligence on a daily basis by pretending not to support Trump.

@izzythepush,
Another empty, invalid personal attack.

@Lash,
Nothing empty about it, admittedly you pay lip service to your progressive persona by calling Trump an idiot now and again, but you repeat the Whitehouse's version of events time and time again, and save all your real anger and indignation for those who oppose Trump.

Only a complete idiot would be fooled by that.

@izzythepush,
Why yes, I can imagine. Admittedly, I was still using an old spelling. Thank you.

Kowtow: It is a rare loanword from Mandarin Chinese. It's often used metaphorically to mean to show servile deference. It also functions as a noun denoting the act of kowtowing. Kowtow is the accepted spelling. Kotow, cowtow, cow tow, kow-tow, and kow tow have been pushed out by the now standard form.


(Stipulating that I am your arch enemy, and not to be mistaken for one of your minions.)

@Lash,
My arch enemy is the bloke with the dodgy eye down the bookies. He swiped the last one of those really tiny pencils.

In excess of a plethora but not quite a glut.

I’ve got your damn tiny ✏️.

FM is not simply plagued by arthritis, he suffered severe wounds to one or both of his hands many years ago. That's his story to tell, if he wishes to. Of course, as has been pointed out, there is no reason to assume that Lash possesses any expertise on medical matters.

@Walter Hinteler,
Yes, but I don't feel that it is my story to retail. I agree that it is truly scurrilous to berate him for typos, while also admitting that I have been impatient with him for it in the past.
