Dear Skinner- a plea for the remainder of the primary season

[RiverNoord]

167. Very well, you dodged and in so doing answered my question entirely. Consequently, I'll be plain.

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

I have never once claimed that 'Clinton can't win,' but I am a Bernie Sanders supporter. I don't seek to provoke people into pointless exchanges. There is no value, merit or honor in a statement that is DELIBERATELY made for the plain purpose of provoking people you don't agree with into a negative exchange.

Donald Trump provokes his supporters into acts of violence, then says 'violence? I never did that - no way.' It's absurd and I expect you agree with me that this is an example of very poor character.

You are repeatedly responding to people who predictably responded to your antagonizing statement negatively with bullshit evasions about how you didn't say what you said. I note that you have massaged your ego in one reply by using the phrase 'ad hominem attack.' This is EXACTLY the same thing as Trump's behavior. Are you contributing anything of value to this community or the world in general by your statements?

I suspect, if you've read this, your brain is now churning away for the 'oh, you poor fool, you're just not smart enough to understand as I'll demonstrate by my brilliant redirection of your arguments' answer to my question. Sadly, you won't be thinking 'well, this guy may have a point,' which would indicate a faint glimmer of hope that you are capable of healthy critical examination of the consequences of your behavior.
