effort to get the first response slot. One must continually hit refresh to insure they see the OPs they want to hijack and then get a post posted in a min or two. That's why they never include substance. Most of the time they don't even bother to post further in the thread. They are off to hijack another thread. It's one of the tactics.

I'd hate to spend my waking existence reading sexism into words commonly used to describe everyday things.

Women Flock
Men Flock
People Flock

You didn't know the definition of the word I guess.

flock, verb: congregate or mass in a flock or large group.


That's quite embarrassing for you, though I am sure you do not see it that way.

But after the election it was whiter than an episode of the BBC office.

I was certainly NOT supporting Hillary before that; I was hoping Liz Warren would run. I did not want to support anyone with even a whiff of Third Way wafting from them, and living here in Florida, I see how DWS embodies the rightward slide of the Democratic Party. I won't support that.

I supported Hillary, vociferously, in 2008.

But now that I have done my due diligence, I believe I was supporting Hillary only because she is a woman. I am ashamed of that.
A woman who espouses war and fracking and cluster bombs does not deserve to be supported merely because she is a woman.

So - I will not, I cannot.

There is no sound as hellish as bagpipes played by a n00b. An expert player isn't much of an improvement, jmo.
