I'm not running. I just see no point in arguing with a brick wall.

As for you thinking I owe you anything, that's your first mistake.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Oh yeah, are you guys moderators? No... I did not think so. I am a moderator and admin and several sites, and we do not take kind to back seat moderators. Know your role, and know why you are not cut out to be one of us.
First off, you are absolutely running. Asking for you to actually demonstrate and prove your point is not being a brick wall, it's being logical. Refusal to do so is nothing but argumentative cowardice.
Second off, if you are making a point, you must prove it. You don't "owe" us anything, this isn't a debt owed, this is just how discussion and argument works.
Third off, considering your grammar, overall tone, tendency to employ various fallacies in liberal (no pun intended) doses and complete lack of understanding of how basically any of this works, I doubt you could moderate a fridge. Combining this with the whole "I questioned my parents about Jesus' murder at age 3" thing, the chances of you actually being a mod or admin on anything remotely significant is far less likely than the chances of you spewing random bullshit claims so that you can tack on 'argument from authority' to that already long list of fallacies.
The way I used the word "transfixed" was poetically astute. The fact that you two are caught on the old english instead of the hebrew supports that.
"Poetically astute" is a nice way to say "throwing around big words to sound eloquent despite not actually using most of them correctly". "Transfixed into a new word" isn't correct in any sense of the word.
And for the last time, this is not a theology thread.
Cut the soul crap.

I'm neither old english or hebrew. You were the one that wanted to use the old definition of the word.

You already know it all, why would I waste my time with you?

Nobody here knows it all, you seem to know less than your fair share.

"The truth it out there"

Yes, the truth is out there. Q conspiracy isn't real & Trump received less legal votes than Biden.

It seems they want to criminalize some speech, but not others.

If terrorists want to talk about planting bombs it's bad, if you want to lie about democrats stealing an election and whipping up a crowd to go kill people then it's good.

The people who attacked the capitol thought that Trump was telling them to do that. Trump knew what would happen by saying those words.

Rudi Gulliani wasn't just quoting Game of Thrones.

Could have fooled me.

And what is my fair share?

Wow, you must know it all.

I see you cannot understand simple speech. He is simply stating if speech from one party is allowed or not allowed, then the same should apply to the other side of aisle as well. I do not know how you got that so confused... but I have a theory ;)

That doesn't seem very hard.

More than what you know.

No, I just did my own research

That isn't how enforcing criminal acts work. You can't argue that even though you shot someone, then it's unfair that you are prosecuted because other people were not prosecuted.

I wasn't confused as such as you were too vague to be able to figure out what your point was. I have a theory about that.

@smf, and how much of your own research did you do exactly? Watch a clip on CNN?

Or let me guess, looked up what some biased fact checker said. Hmm...

I give up, we can't even give you evidence without you dismissing the sources as "biased"

Trump is guilty as sin, everybody knows it. Including his supporters. They just don't care, because this is who they are. A party of grifters and violent lunatics, waiting for their next opportunity to demonstrate exactly how batshit insane they are to the rest of the world. The Republican Senators who vote to acquit are implicitly endorsing the attempted insurrection, which means it's not a matter of if something similar happens again, but only a matter of when.

"This source allegedly contradicts my assertions, so I don't even need to see it to know it must come from a biased source." That's you. That's what you sound like. In the future, please don't pretend like you care about facts or truth, because you've demonstrated here that you clearly don't.

When you have written as much news and contributed to the scene(s) as much as I have, legitimate sourcing becomes very important. Which is why I have provided CLEAR source, while your side has only provided 3rd party sources. Hmm... weird?!?!

You don't even know what research @smf allegedly did. You dismissed whatever research it was, without seeing it, solely because it was alleged that it contradicted what you had to say. You understand how ridiculous that is, right? You understand that you're the ridiculous one, right?

Given this information, I highly doubt you've contributed anything of value to any sort of real "news scene."

It's called an estimated guess. @smf still has a chance to respond... but I have a gut feeling he was exaggerating. I would love for him to prove me wrong, and show me this extensive research he has done to prove his facts true... but you and I know that is most likely not going to happen. I am not worried.

Your "estimated guess" was literally "he contradicts me, so it must be biased." It's ironic that by crying "bias," you demonstrated your own.
