We were all sitting and resting around the Washington Monument. I don't want to post that I did in case I am remembering wrong or it was someone else.

Keep it up. You reflect perfectly on your candidate. No blow too low, no tactic too ugly.

Interesting profile they have. Member since '02...7000 posts... But only 27 posts in last 90 days (if which 5 were hidden). It appears somebody's sock puppet wanted to commit suicide.

was so rude and especially insulting to your wife.

I have to admit that she was a lot more forward about it. Most of them are very passive aggressive in their insults.

Missed or ignored the context. As if my response was based on the political discussion rather than the intentionally hurtful post

Pretty vicious towards Obama in the 2008 Primaries, and left right after Obama got the nomination. They would come back every so often to throw bombs in The Lounge before disappearing again for months, then showing up again.

I voted to hide one of their posts earlier today; I'm sorry that happened to you.
