The party of Wile E. Coyote Congressional investigations fizzles

[Bus Driver]

Because I don't care what you think of me, and you'll just make shit up anyway.

That reads like you are pretending it is just my questions you avoid answering. That is untrue.

Plenty of others have pointed out your penchant for avoiding questions. Especially answering questions that might require you take a public stance.

I find that interesting and admit I don't know why that would be.

The next legitimate question will probably have something to do with your habit of beating your wife.

I don't recall ever asking such a question, of any poster.

Can you look in your super-duper database of posts everyone else makes and provide a cite?

I'm a minority conservative on this forum. That means I get a lot of stupid questions (like yours in post 5) I don't have time or the inclination to engage in all of them, so I pick and choose.

Instead of typing "yes" or "no", you'd prefer to go on and on about being a victim.

Then, you say you "don't have the time or inclination to engage".

Is this me "making up shit" about you?

They're your words.

 

[Pertinacious Tom]

Does it bother you that school board members were getting death threats?

A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.

Seems every bit as legitimate as questions about his wife-beating habit to me.

Who is a fan of death threats?

Sometimes I refuse to answer stupid questions on principle.

I didn't ask if he was a "fan" (RIF). I asked it such things bothered him. His response could be anything from "Not so much" to "I am horrified by it". From those positions to anything in between would surely not indicate him being a "fan".

I am surprised you are so concerned about me asking a question to elicit a response from a poster that illustrates just where s/he stands. I sure have been the recipient of such questions from you.

 

[Bus Driver]

My opinion is that principle is "I don't want to go on record, as that may come back to bite me".

Is that "making up shit about you"? I am allowed to have an opinion, right?

If you don't go on record, it's going to come back and bite you when you want to support death threats down the road.

Yes.

So, @Dog refuses to answer whether death threats against school board members is bad.

How about this straightforward question:

Hey, @Dog 2.0 , if the Justice Department gets wind of lots of school board members receiving death threats in multiple communities in multiple states at a time of increased social and political tension, is it appropriate for the FBI to create a tip line and a task force to look into it?

Isn't protecting citizen's lives and enabling local governments to operate unhindered by criminal activity kinda the whole point of a federal law enforcement agency?

Will he answer your question? Or, we he not "have the time or inclination to engage"?

I'm probably being offensive, asking if the FBI can be used to protect local governments and the citizens who run them.

Yes.

 

[Bus Driver]

Yes.

Well, there you go.

Hey, Tom, I am of the opinion this indicates Dog is not a "fan" (your word) of death threats for school board members. That was my suspicion, and I guess I will have to be satisfied with Dog's answer to Philly's question.

I hope Dog doesn't think I am making up shit about him with my supposition.

No, that was not your suspicion, it actually was ... “School board members getting death threats doesn't seem to bother you”

 

[Bus Driver]

You seemed more bothered by the Texas snitch line. So, I asked for clarification. You wouldn't answer.

And the follow-up question...

You're not a conservative. You're a reactionary misinformed drone.
