I didn't confuse you with Pete. I pointed out that you agreed (without qualification) to Pete's statement. You didn't specify which part of his statement. Any reasonable person would have assumed you agreed with his statement. Perhaps you didn't know what he meant by "he still does."

You insult so many people you don't even recognize insults anymore.

You consider what I said an insult? How was it an insult?

It also said I attempted to "twist, interpret, conjecture, insinuate, characterize what Trump said". He also said something like I accused Trump of racism. And I did none of those things.

I didn't say that you did any of that. I referred to general comments that were being made and implied (including by Pete) against Trump re the ad, didn't mention you. But if you want to take it personally, that's you're prerogative.

Nor was any of it meant as an insult. Pointing out that someone twists, interprets, conjectures, insinuates, or characterizes, is not inherently an insult. Nor did I say that you said Trump is a racist. I pointed out, correctly, that "there is this attempt to characterize it [the ad] as racist." There absolutely has been that attempt by anti-Trumpers, including Pete. Didn't mention you. The only thing I said in that paragraph that was directed at you, actually agreed with you that Trump is a sloppy talker (well put actually), but disagreed that the ad was sloppily written.


Here's an idea why don't you try acting like a grown up for a couple hours and stop with the insults and see what type of responses you get.
You might want to be less sensitive or defensive (this is not an insult), and not take personally things that are not referring directly to you. And you might want to tighten up the scope of what you consider an insult (this is not an insult).
