I don't understand. You called Waquoit a "bigot" previously...did you receive any "indignation" from me?

What you don't understand is that my response to Waguoit was an in-kind counterpunch to his remark. I don't deserve your indignation without you first scorning Waguoit.
If my memory serves me correctly, I have been nothing but a counterpuncher on this site, when it comes to name-calling, be it toward public figures or members here.
In fact, I see most right-leaning Conservatives as being counterpunchers, including the President. I admire the wisdom of counterpunchers.
Waguoit came into OT with boxing gloves on. He deserves every counterpunch HE incites.

I am confused. What "indignation" have you gotten from me? You asked me a confusing question about me not showing "indignation" towards PA-Mike's "Fruitcake" remark. "Is being called a 'Fruitcake' worse than being called a racist or a bigot"...you asked me. And all I replied was that I also didn't show any indignation towards your "bigot" remark to Waquoit. The fact that I showed no indignation to either "Fruitcake" or 'bigot' somehow means that I'm now showing "indignation" to YOU? I don't get it.
You say that Waquoit came into OT with boxing gloves on. I agree. And now that Waquoit has gotten a better look at our OT forum...I'm sure that his next visit here will find him with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
Lastly...your comment that most of our right-leaning brethren here are "counterpunchers" is too ridiculous to deserve a response. Even when the supposed "instigators" stop posting here...your "right-leaning counterpunchers" start goading then into returning...so they could have someone here to fight with. "Where are all the liberal replies?"...your "counterpunchers" here typically ask.

Yes, Boxcar doesn't feel that he lost the bet...because Hcap isn't here to collect.

Well, what more could you expect from your average, delusional, Boxhead?

Let's say I bet you $100. on the outcome of some future event. The event comes to pass, I lose but you're nowhere to be found because you're too busy pushing up daises from the hole in the ground in which you were buried. Am I still obligated to pay off the bet to you that I lost? And to whom?

*I was suggesting that your veiled, in my opinion, indignation towards PA Mike's "Fruitcake" term was misplaced.
**No, again, you misunderstand. It's not necessarily the "brethren" here...but definitely the majority of the "brethren" across the whole country of right-wingers, in general. Of the 74+ million right-wingers, most are not posting on message boards. Among those who are not, it would generally take a provocation of some sort first before responding with a counterpunch. At least, for now.

Then you phrased your #314 post wrongly. "Yet you expressed no indignation toward the Fruitcake?"...you wrote.

You were not necessarily talking about the right-leaners here...and most of the 74+ million right-wingers are not posting on message boards. And yet...you presume to know that most of them are "counterpunchers".
Did you tell me once that you were a "lawyer", Margie? I hope not...for the sake of your clients.
