But you lecture like nuts. Dish it out? Take it.

Lots of people every year have an emotional investment and their own experience or through family in Chicago. Do I have to get somebody's permission to mock Chicago?

When the right Ike stands up he is beautiful...some great lectures for example on 2008 melt down/TARP and lucid illumination on mental issues.

I was just tryin' to have a little fun for christ's sake. Try to remember to take your Prozac tomorrow morning.

Ike, your wedding comment clearly hit a nerve with Robbin. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you didn't intend to do it but I think you should have realized it once he responded. Given that realization, however, don't you think the kind thing, the empathetic thing to have done would be to apologize or maybe just say nothing else?

I know that your default mode is attack but try to have a little consideration for others once in a while.

Thank you kindly, sir.

Right now, standing up is irreverent schmuck Ike, who does not give a shit in Lenny Bruce's hat for who might or might not approve of him.

Everybody has probably lost somebody to war or some other sort of violence, John. I have lost friend's and family to both. I lost family to the holocaust, and somehow endure the bullshit attacks from pro-Palestinian members over my position on Israel without resorting to lecturing them on their insensitivity. On a warm summer might in 1963 I walked into my best friend's house and found him lying in his own blood and brains on the kitchen floor. A victim of fun violence. And somehow I manage to deal with it when right wingjob opponents on guns call me an idiot and a fool and don't know what nerve they might be hitting.

My intent was not to whack anybody's personal loss button. That said, I will not be lectured. I will not be scolded. We all have a button somewhere.

But, by keeping this going, that's what you're doing.

And losing family to the holocaust (capitalization unnecessary) in no way undermines any pro Palestinian argument or demands support for Zionism.
