    Agreed, but that, to me, was hilariously impressive. And I figured one or two people were headed to timeout because of it. Still need that penalty box!

    Actually, it didn't even take five minutes. I just went through, quoted each of my posts, then copied it over on the site on another tab.

    Notice, once again, that Hammond hasn't responded. I prove my point again.

    Besides that, how would you feel if someone, without justification or proof, called you a racist? Would you just let them, or would you defend yourself?

    If it was on a message board, largely populated by anonymous posters, I would probably not give a shit a month later.

    The board needs a racist, kind of like a wrasslin' foil, ever since Mark2010 disappeared. Looks like you've been nominated.

    When he made his accusation, I immediately responded by telling him to find the posts where I was racist. He refused to respond, despite my requests for them, for 38 days, other than lying once and claiming that he did, and another time when he gave a weak, "you may not consider them racist, but they are," response without elaborating further.

    It wouldn't have lasted this long had he either shown some integrity and tried to prove his point to begin with, or admitted that he was talking out of his ass and apologized.

    Now he finally and lazily posts a thread, I find all my posts from that thread in not even five minutes, ask him which one(s) he considers racist, and he runs away again.

    Sorry, but anonymous message board or not, I take accusations of being called a racist seriously. As it's been shown numerous times by many examples, the Internet is not always that anonymous. If he had proof, come out with it. Instead, he runs away when challenged to show his work. And if I hadn't responded like I have, he would have felt free to continue posting his claim.

    Sorry, if nominated, I will decline and if elected, I will not serve.

    Glad you take your anonymous reputation seriously. Defend it to the death!

    I say this in all seriousness... If this is how you feel about someone attacking your message board reputation, it's probably wise to take a break.

    It's not what the other party would do.

    I think it's hysterical. CNBC thought they could make up the rules, and learned otherwise.

    The key to negotiating is knowing who has the leverage, and using it when you have it. Trump knows he has the leverage, and he forced CNBC to bend to his will.

    The concern would be in case of any possible outing. Like I did, you just never know.
