Sorry but you went a bit too far and I think you did it totally in purpose.

Bram, you're discussing politics. It's not about freedom of speech (yell what you want from your front doorstep while keeping sensible social distancing), it's not about calling a spade a spade or facts vs opinion.
It's about keeping the lounge civil and in 20 years I can't recall many discussions on politics - let along someone as divisive as Trump - that hasn't devolved quickly into a flame war. Let's keep that out of the Lounge as per our rules please.
I'm locking this thread.
cheers

Richard Andrew x64 wrote: Trolling means breaking the rules of the site The term is somewhat more specific. A site may have rules about appropriate contents, forbidding stuff that does not fall under trolling. Trolling is like "picking a fight", being provocative, for the main purpose of making other readers getting angry and writing emotional responses.
In a forum devoted to cultivating of apples, a post about cultivating of oranges, from a poster thinking that the forum is about cultivating fruit in general, does not qualify as trolling.
I didn't see the original post before it was removed, but from the responses, it seems like this was a case of trolling, though!

I'm fully aware of that. I was speaking to him in context of what he just did.

Responding to this the way I would like to would be SB material. So I'm refraining. Barely.

What is "SB Material" I am unfamiliar with the term. Is it good or Bad. For now I take it as Good.

And here I was, thinking it meant "site banning". The lad is definitely poking the bear with a sharp stick.

"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." --H.L. Mencken
Do you like him now? The last time, you speculated that he was a neo-Nazi because he said something nasty about democracy. Mabye that's what you call anyone who attacks one of your sacred cows. Yet a communist or serious monarchist might also have said it. Or a classical liberal, which is what Mencken actually was, although the term is too tame to do him justice. He also had about as much use for religion as do you.

Chuck Norris doesn't need to socially distance himself from others. Others already stay a respectful distance away from him.
OK, that was my lame attempt.

Chuck Norris has been exposed to the Coronavirus.
The Coronavirus is self isolating for 14 days.

I read that the main reason for his health decline was that his surgeon was unfamiliar with treating obese patients. That I can believe. Kim is/was probably the only fat person in the whole country. Everyone else is starving!
