Bill’s response was to point at the silliness of the tweet as it was out of context and bore no relation to an argument being made. His response was to me suggesting I had been dreaming after asking me Who? It could have been "who?"... were the CIA I had mentioned (somewhat challenging to get names) ...or.... "who?" wrt to the person who posted tweet (in which case he could find out who tweeted this by going back a few posts). The response was nothing to do with "the silliness of the tweet" Edited June 27, 2022 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The response was nothing to do with "the silliness of the tweet" The "who" seemed to me as referring to the individual/group/mob that allegedly would have (a couple of months ago) shouted down the tweeter for suggesting special forces are operating in Ukraine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wanting to know that should ask tweeter. I don't have a Twitter account and can't research Twitter timelines. I was simply pointing out a misinterpretation of the tweet but sharing the view that the CIA had been in the Ukraine for some time.

The quoted tweet was followed up with: "The point he makes is so simple that it should cause great distress." When it fact it was a point that nobody with any sense would have thought otherwise, let alone was it likely to cause any distress. its a point that nobody on Gersnet was making and it was a point also that was so laden with snide condescension that it got the type of responses it deserved. There are a number of similar exchanges in this thread alone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of similar exchanges in this thread alone. There are all kinds of posting styles on here. Snide, Pompous, Condescending, Petty.... are some of the negative ones. People tend to notice more when they are in the opposite side of the argument/debate. 😄 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forlan misinterpreted a tweet and Bill was more interested in a sarcastic line to me than looking up the post I had responded to. I didn't misinterpret anything merely made a reference to the first casualty of a "special military operation" being the truth. Tracey is a well known Putin apologist though he denies being one but hey don't they all? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 3,714 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Another tweet to consider. Another simple point about something two months in the past. Maybe the present day is too distressing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,684 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I see the mighty Russian army has taken to destroying shopping centres. But only unarmed ones. Brave Ivans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
