Reference commenting on this twice, I guess that should tell you how much respect I have for Don (even though, we disagree on several topics), that makes three times if you're still counting. 
Your methods and challenges aren't helping your status. I don't expect you'll be here long term but, that's just my opinion. I guess we'll see.

I think that's a very errant or mistaken apprehension of the "sourmash situation" from forum member blackrams.
If I were the forum moderator, I would not be thinking about taking any action against sourmash. As sourmash himself just said (today or maybe yesterday?) he wants to uphold the idea of Decorum--and I think he does present himself here, very consistently, with a large measure of decorum or civility. Not 100 percent decorum, but more decorum than "not decorum."
The contrast between sourmash and one other forum member whom I will not name (that other forum member is sui generis) is remarkable, and very much in favor of sourmash and not that other member, in the category of online decorum or civility.
Now perhaps what blackrams was suggesting is that sourmash himself will stop showing up here because of pushback against him in the way of the public messaging from other forum members? Or just indifference to sourmash from other forum members?
I think if that were realistic, then sourmash would already have stopped showing up here.
But he hasn't.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 06-30-2021).]

Politics and religion, they'll turn some people off to a person permanently. I know that, but participate anyway.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 06-30-2021).]

Joy? No, I have never met Don in person. I have known him for some years only on this forum. I only commented because I felt that this is an unnecessary point of contention.
What you don't understand is that Don is not hiding. You can say whatever makes you feel good about yourself, but he doesn't care about satisfying your needs, desires or questions. AND he doesn't have to.
Validation of his reputation or credibility isn't even required, for the people who have been on this forum for long enough to absorb the contributions he has openly and freely given.
What I don't understand is why you have such a petty issue about an article that doesn't even matter? Don didn't author the opinion. It was form another person. How is it so controversial that some unknown random person has such an opinion?

I'm trying to raise his game. Evidence without proof is bogus hearsay. Unsubstantiated claims are the same. That doesn't support reputation points.
I've been here enough to understand some of the motivations of several of the handful of people who post here.
He does hide. It's just an observable tactic. I bump fendes as a tactic. And I don't believe most people even know how to define racism and anti-semitism. They just accept what the left presents and then regurgitate it.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 07-01-2021).]

Lots of evidence is out there and the proof isn't always readily available. Look at the trial this thread is about. A conviction of murder was handed down because unproven evidence. My opinion, if it matters is that he would be guilty of manslaughter NOT murder.
I do not require the definition of others to regulate "reputation points".

For the most part, I skip over the text of some members for this very reason.

If you are implying that Don does not know the real definition of racism and antisemitism and or it's various iterations, I would simply say he knows.
One of the problems with the "left" is that they are constantly in a state of Flux, they are always changing definitions. So to regurgitate their bullet points is a full time job.
I stand by everything I have said, so I guess this part of the thread is over for me. The opinions of aoc are of little to no interest to me and don't really fit into the thread topic,....unless I misunderstood something.[This message has been edited by Rickady88GT (edited 07-01-2021).]

False. You're still trying to deflect for him. There is ZERO evidence for the 'quote' he claims was taken from another thread and which he posted here.
Im.interested to see this evidence. It's just junk on the internet until there's proof.

|
Same as my sentiments. Agreed

This is where your disconnects stem from. YOU made a statement about his reputations as an observer to someone else. YOU want to counter me having my own perspective.
It's not about you. It's about the observer's perception. And it's not all good or all bad.
My opinion about the quote is provable. Im.not fooled on this topic. Yeah, I've seen similar statements thru the years. It doesn't mean they weren't done by a BLM orAntifa person to cast shame collectively.

You don't know and have zero authority in this instance. That isnt stopping you from trying to deflect though.
If he had courage of conviction about those definitions he would state them. It also takes a strength of character to admit when you're wrong.

It's the right that's the problem. They just acquiesce to the left and use false definitions for a political personal gain. Watch Cuckabee for an example.
If maryjane had a source when asked for an example of it, he would've. He's all about forceful statements, except when he knows it isnt a solid claim such as this. That's all my point is about.
I just asked for proof and look at the gnashing of teeth.
