(99,710 posts)That term is reserved for people who have an affinity for one another. Let's at least be honest with ourselves. Neither one of us have an affinity for each other.

(99,710 posts)When someone addresses you as pal, when you know you aren't, you can rest assured he is not saying it because he likes you. I edited it because I believed it struck an unnecessarily confrontational tone.
That being said, I am a lot of things but a patsy or piñata is not one of them. I can feel the antipathy for me, regardless of the language used to camouflauge it, and as a man I have every right to return it.
To put it colloquially, if you dis me I am going to dis you.

(6,282 posts)That you chose to edit the historical record to present a false accounting of our exchange is not a reflection of me, nor does it now mean that I am the one who originally dissed you. I am saddened that you would present to objective readers (and juries) a twisted narrative of how our exchanges proceed.

Here is something to ponder and I heard it from a kid on an ESPN board, "there are human beings with feelings behind their computers."
Anybody who feels the lash of verbal abuse is going to be quick to respond...

(6,282 posts)Calling a candidate a liar based on historical record and perceived distrust is not a slight against, DSB. I certainly did not intend it as such.

(99,710 posts)You are now being civil to me and I respect it. I would rather us be two persons who support different candidates than two people who dislike one another.

(1,384 posts)But I'm very skeptical of yougovs polls. Their polls of Obama are consistently and laughably negative, even when compared to Rasmussen and foxnews. Take anything they say with a grain of salt, they're almost always outliers.
