What's this?

And it takes someone with a better command of the english language to

understand that dajoka didn't get his "feelings hurt" over anything... at least the best I can tell from his post. And also takes a better command of the english language to understand that this was not about a football team, it was about a news outlet (one that is supposed to be reputable... not a tabloid) using partial information to paint a false picture and take jabs at a president. No one got their feelings hurt over it, they're just pointing out a lack of journalistic integrity from a reputable news source.... even if it's a lack of integrity over a trivial matter.

And you're free to say whatever you want. But when it appears you clearly don't understand the meaning of words... I may point it out to you. I'm annoying like that. My general impression of you is that you're a pretty smart, reasonable, thoughtful poster. But from this thread, you're either being an intentional knucklehead to tweak dajoka and the other righties, or I was wrong and you're a complete f'ing idiot. I suspect it's the former.

Anyway, I have real work to do today and this stupid thread has consumed enough of my time (and I admit I contributed to the stupidity of the thread by continuing to participate). So I'm going to sign out.

Peace.
