How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

Post 36- Slurs a whole community (that post remains)

Post 76- Was an insult directed toward Stoney (apparently Stoney’s post slurred a whole community and got deleted)

Post 91- Tries to turn it into thread about voter suppression and the bad GOP

Post 114- Accuses another poster of talking out of both sides of his mouth

Post 161- Dude felt insulted and retorted much stronger than he should have, so a few make him the topic for a while

But in general the thread has been civil and informative and you just cannot stand it. So you had to stir the pot. There's a term for a poster that does such things; perhaps someone can help me with the term

I don't know about all the other posts you cite, Bfine, but I am pretty sure that in this case Fred's post is ironic.  Or at least that is how I took it.

It was an indirect way of pointing out that some people were dialoging without snarkily insulting each other.  So he jokingly suggests they spice it up a bit.

(It's possible that he is alluding to a specific post or previous conflict, of course, and you recognize the nuance and I don't.)
