This statement is as disingenuous as it is 100% bullshit.  At no point did I say every muslim is guilty of the same conduct as extremists.  By the same token GM absolutely does exactly that.  When you make thread after thread and post after post all deriding law enforcement you are doing exactly what you claim he is not.  How many thread and posts have I made about Islam.  How many posts and threads has GM made about law enforcement?  He can claim to support them al he wants, but it rings as hollow as a Klan member saying he doesn't actually hate black people.  His actions contradict this.  but again, Dill doesn't see it.

Dino posts articles which concern police interaction with the public, many involving mishandling of arrests. That such articles exist for Dino to post, and in such numbers, raises legitimate political questions and issues which the public ought to be discussing in a free society--among them the question of whether there is a systemic aspect to police behavior.

Posting articles about cops behaving badly does not, in itself, "deride law enforcement"--unless the standard is that only posts celebrating law enforcement be allowed or that they do not push the issue of police violence beyond a few bad apples.   

The question here is not about quantity of posts, but about what inferences Dino makes from the actions of a few to the whole of law enforcement. Nowhere does he say or infer that all or even most cops are bad, that police are a danger to democracy or all bad. 

But his posts make you feel bad, defensive; they're about "how much WE suck," and so you make that inference yourself, then burden the list with constantly flagging "hypocrisy" you just KNOW is there instead of asking him what he actually thinks or intends.

Thus, when he posts a video of Trump's unsympathetic response to Capitol police, that can't be about Trump's hypocrisy--only Dino's. Your grudge has become a machine for repeatedly turning threads about new political events into threads about Dino's "insane level of hypocrisy." That might even pass muster if you could say something new, illuminating, or convincing, but you cannot. You just keep saying, not showing, that insane hypocrisy is there, refusing requests for proof, even a single post/quote. Your "evidence" is how you feel about ALL his posts. 

And so the machine goes on.
