But it's a direct response, with a quote even. I think it's troll chow for sure.

Suggestion: if you can't help responding, at least don't quote. His message gets repeated, and people trying to avoid engagement get exposed to temptation.

I know.

Like I said, I was in a magnanimous mood yesterday.

But that's over.

4-2-7 will not be the beneficiary of my largesse today.

If most of the savings comes from the ACA, how did it 'save' money?

Yeah, Ryan's a regular Hank Rearden.

He made his money the old fashioned way.

He married it.

Any facial feature looks weird in isolation. Ever look at ears? Mostly people completely ignore ears. But if you look at them, they're ridiculous.

And they all have one thing in common.

They suck up to the rich and powerful and prey on the weakest and most vulnerable.

Even Finn's girlfriend is sounding a little shrill these days because the republicants just handed us the House - Lyin Ryan the gift that keps on giving.

Fine...you can think it's whatever you think it is for sure.

But y'know what...IMO it's lousy forum use and etiquette to not quote a comment you're responding to. So I'm sorry, but you guys who feel the need to be ignoring other members, will just have to exercise some self-control over your...uh...tempations. Sorry.

This is an unmoderated forum. Everybody needs to take the good with the bad if they want to play on an unmoderated forum. Who's ignoring who is not the responsibility of anybody but the ignorer and the ignoree.
