    Yes, I totally attacked you. And I definitely didn’t ask for context either. I mean, if I had asked for context, I would have said something like:

    Sorry… you think because this is nowhere near what was happening in 1968, that somehow excuses police actions? How did you even make that connection?

    And then after that, I would have done something like explain my position. Maybe saying something like:

    The point is that the media has been spending weeks hyping this up as though it is going to be just as tumultuous and it just hasn’t been. They wanted it to be so people would pay attention to the news and they’ve been pretty much disappointed that it isn’t happening. Some of them are angry it isn’t happening.

    And then finally, I might have tried to explain why I thought you should be more informed:

    I think you need to go read up on what happened in 1968 at the DNC. It started with the cops murdering a teenager who was protesting. By the end, there were hundreds of people in hospitals

    But no, I just attacked you. You personally, not the things you said. Full-frontal attack with no explanation and no questions.

        Now that is a personal attack.

        Especially when you almost certainly don’t actually care what my answer is.

          I literally asked you how your dog is doing in another post Squiddy and sent you what worked for us when Bucket died of brain cancer to help him with his fear of the vet.

          You’ve been increasingly inflammatory with the language you use and are more defensive about your positions than you have in the past.

          When I asked if things are ok at home that was legitimate concern. And you removed that comment and called it a personal attack.

            I didn’t remove anything. I am not a moderator in this community.

            I didn’t even flag the comment.

            Remember what you just accused me of a few posts up about reacting to assumptions?

              Ahahaha that’s right you mod worldnews. But of course mods don’t talk to each other about such things going on in their respective communities now do they? Lol

                Dude, turn down the paranoia a few notches. I didn’t talk to anyone about you. It’s not important enough to me.

                I didn’t even downvote your comments.

                  I don’t think my humor is landing, I was laughing at myself.
