38. Pretty sure your response was the deviation.

You dismissed the poster's support for Clinton offhand, what did you expect would happen? You literally said that their "endorsement" was all you needed to know that you weren't "ready for Clinton."

I personally forgot about the raccoon thing and didn't even see it as an insult. Sorry you had to go through that, but you asked for that snide remark. Look at post #12 in that thread. If you followed her advice she may have saved your life. Raccoons are the largest reservoir of rabies on the planet.

If anything I think she was poking fun with a little treatment at you without being overly mean. You got bit, you went through some trying times, but she's glad you're here. The overly biting raccoon is "ready for Hillary" in so much that it'll bite anyone.
