Leave it to the beer swilling, car racing, Sedro Wooley/back woods living, greasy handed machinist to be the voice of reason! :wink05:

I'm probably among the worst offenders here, and yet I agree with you to a certain point. There are reasons why people employ such linguistic tactics and each impacts their message to differing degrees.

A person who says "You're a doody-head" and leaves it at that only points to their own out-right cerebral incompetence, as you note.

Then there are those who think that such embellishment actually enhances their argument; this, too, is not effective.

Then there are those (and I hope this is where I end up, and am perceived to be) ... those that employ epithet and invective only to dramatic effect to enhance interest in the conversation and entice rebuttal and comment, without expectation that such language is what has won the day. (I will be sure to police my commentary going forward, but I'm certain I will back-slide)

I'm also pretty sure that many who use this kind of language (here), are only bloviating in a conversation, and venting discontent about situations where they have little or no ability to effect change and therefore have less of a reason to employ serious and disciplined argument.

Still, your point is well taken. Thanks Obama!

I am here because of my love of firearms. Also, I am among mostly like-minded people. Its not even that I disagree or dont with what is being said, just when with little exaggeration, every time Governor Inslee is mentioned, he is GayJay. For all I care he could die in a car fire and I wouldnt shed a tear, I just do not see the point in mocking his sexuality in a post about his anti 2A stance. What does one have to do with the other, other than for the sake of name calling?
Jim, not arguing with you, I am merely expounding on my aforementioned point with some more clarity perhaps.

You have to admit that Turd Ferguson is pretty good though

I mean, it does insult turds everywhere but it's an apt description for our AG

Well Jaeger, I have a good reason for the pseudonyms besides poking fun.

The Internet, as much as we like to use it, could be used against you.

Call it Interweb 'insulation' from direct Googlie-Fu. Not that I'm worried (well, maybe a little) but using the correct spelling of a politician and doing a huge rant on how you'd like to see them leap off the narrows bridge 'could' be googlied back to this site, and therefore back to me.

You'll always see when I post anything political I will spell the name of the politician wrong on purpose.

This gets my points across without actually using their proper names.......

Yea, I'm old enough to get that it's a cut down but also old enough to not really give a shit. It just doesn't hold water anymore

Well, with the last half dozen Seattle mayors gay and one that's an accused child molester that pays off his victims and hasn't seen investigation worth a shit or prosecution yet.

Why anyone question it.....

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And its odd that you used the words "most likely"

Just because a man marries a woman and has kids with the woman, doesn’t mean he’s not gay. I’ve seen it enough to not presume someone’s sexuality based on appearances. After all, in this part of the country, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to be married to the opposite sex or non sex and have kids with that person and consider yourself straight, non-binary, queer, or whatever else (that I can’t keep up with).

I personally know two men that have married women, had kid(s), and later on in life came out. My first wife came out to me, “I’ve always been gay but, you were my best friend. I always wanted to marry my best friend.”

Also, I don’t really care if someone’s gay/straight/q/b/t/a. Just keep your hand out my pocket.
