78. Thank you for your condolences for my childishness.
They warm the cockles of my heart when I unrecc threads because of accusations of childishness.

Ohh, and I disagree that this is the thread of "another progressive", judging by the content of the OP. As a result, your condolences for my childishness warm the cockles of my heart even more.

And you are welcome. I was happy to prove your point. I will refrain from pointing to issues of grammar in your response, as that would be over-the-top childish. I will, however, point out that the usage of the term "childish" to dismiss another's words in a post "smacks of" a matronly approach of dismissal that carries with it the odor of new-car-astrovans with a hint of soccer-ball and grass-stained-soccer-cleat... I would suggest, in the future, that you should scale back the matronly dismissals lacking in any substance -
I have read topics here I thought were not what I agreed with and never had to do so. I have done it with topics that I saw were right wing freepers trying to disrupt, but to another progressive who I might have differed I didn't.

... there's no "there" there... are you saying that I'm not allowed to unrecc anything that you have not, in advance, judged to be "right wing freepers trying to disrupt"? Are you deigning to "allow" me, but judging me childish for doing so?

Mommy?

I realize that the mommy judgementalism diction often carries weight with those who are still dominated/devoted to their "mommy figures", but I would hope you realize that trying to leverage that emotional handle in an audience is not the same thing as having a real point.

You do have a point, right? Other than "those who criticize points I like are children"? Right?
