Weak sauce, Gabon, who tried to persuade him? I'm going to say that Romney didn't.

Don't spam the thread if you don't have a point to make.

I don't get it.

That's a bit of a stretch, as is your dishonest title.

GabonX also claims that he wasn't forced out. In fact, he was encouraged to stay. (here


Then there's the back-and-forth, mutual understanding has been prevented, and saxitoxin highlights Symmetry's method of doing so (here


After all this, we still get this response:

Let this thread be a reminder to all honest and true minded people that the foundations of the radical left's strategy are diversion, disinformation and defamation of character.


Of course you still haven't been able to back up anything you've claimed, in spite of repeated requests to do so.
, in spite of repeated requests to do so. You can't even run away right, as it's so simple to get you back.

Do you have anything to contribute?


Clearly, evidence for GabonX's claims have already been provided. Symmetry hasn't been reading them, failed to understand them, changed the conditions of evidence from the old argument to some new unrelated argument, or is simply not interested in discussion--but rather interested in his own monologue, as saxitoxin has pointed out.


(fastposted by GabonX, but maybe having two sources will be sufficient for Symmetry's vague standard of evidence).

15 identical posts? Even people critical of me have to accept that that's beyond the pale.

Hey Symmetry, btw, about your stupid little poll. Gay's are accepted in the Republican party, and they always have been.

You see, Republicans will take anyone, any race, any beliefs, and religion, it doesn't matter. The Democrats kick people out if they disagree. You are still trying to jam a square block in a circle hole

And yet this is clear case of someone being kicked out because he is gay.

It seemed warranted in that instance. You kept screaming, ad infinitum, Gabby hadn't replied to your question, which you'd follow by a long string of insults.

    This indicated you weren't seeing his response, perhaps due to a technical malfunction or some other computer-based reason, or a vision-quality issue. The rational course of action, at that point, was to post multiple times to test your system and see if any messages were getting through or if, possibly, it was a server-side issue. As you became increasingly irate and maniacal at what you perceived as people ignoring you and more and more hysterical in your name-calling, it became prudent to post quickly to defuse the situation. I think Gabby did this as much for your well-being as that of the forum as the level of anger you'd worked yourself into indicated a possible danger of self-harm.

As sad as that makes me, I won't stoop to your level by reporting you for flaming.

It would be fair to add "silencing opposition" to that list.

GabonX wrote:From your article:

Several top Romney campaign officials tried to persuade Grenell to stay on and enlisted former Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman, another openly gay GOP figure, to appeal to him as well, according to a source with knowledge of Mehlman's involvement. Mehlman declined to comment to HuffPost.

When a community member has exhibited warning signs of possible self-harm due to a hysterical episode, there are very few limits we should impose on ourselves to mediate the situation. You had become irate to the point of a breakdown at what you perceived was Gabby ignoring your question.

Multiple posts, as a means of guaranteeing you that no one was ignoring you, were warranted due to your increasingly irrational behavior that indicated you were experiencing a possible IRL crisis episode.
