Strange that you would think that.

The friend in question has known me for decades. I feel confident they know me.

It is only recently (past few years) that this person has been unable to discuss politics in a civil manner. Indeed, when we have discussed politics recently, they initiated it, but in every case they were so bothered not to hear their own talking points parroted back to them, they ended each recent conversation by refusing to talk further. So, I guess your criticism is intended for them, not for me, since they are the ones who get frustrated and then refuse to talk. I just seek to avoid that apparently inevitable disagreement by discussing things I know we have in common. I suppose the refusal to discuss politics in a civil manner by my leftist friends is a major success story for you...instilling TDS in your fellow party members, such that they cannot even be civil, in your efforts to divide America. Congratulations.

      - "Both sides do it" is a defense strategy of the Dem left. Don't doubt me. [NT] - ELP - 8:04pm 10/27/25
      - Exactly. And it’s dangerous to pretend that Trump 2.0 is not an autocracy. [NT] - conorlarkin - 7:42pm 10/26/25
        It is far more dangerous for you to pretend it is an autocracy. - Hensou - 8:22pm 10/26/25
        I am not pretending. And you are in denial. [NT] - conorlarkin - 8:33pm 10/26/25
        You lost the election so you pretend Trump is a demonic figure. - Hensou - 8:38pm 10/26/25
      - Is it your contention that fascist dictators can be voted out of office? - NedoftheHill - 6:22pm 10/26/25
        My contention is that you are never worth engaging. [NT] - Chris94 - 6:55pm 10/26/25
        I get that you feel that way if you cannot find a flaw in my logic. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:22pm 10/26/25
        I've found and explained flaws in your logic over the Abortion issue...that's when you stopped - TyroneIrish - 8:46pm 10/26/25
        You apparently have trouble doing so on the issue of this thread, so you are changing the subject. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:13pm 10/27/25
        
        As far as I know, you stopped our last conversation. Having said that... - NedoftheHill - 9:52pm 10/26/25
        I haven’t twisted anything wrt Catholic Doctrine…in fact I’ve quoted it in in support - TyroneIrish - 11:11pm 10/26/25
        That is a lie, or pure ignorance. Did you even know of the Catholic Catechism b/f I cited it to you? - NedoftheHill - 1:25am 10/27/25
        I've cited the RCC's Catechetical teaching on "Just Wars", whereby...under certain enumerated [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:41pm 10/27/25
        Great. Now do that for abortion. You won't. - NedoftheHill - 7:01pm 10/27/25
        Everyone can read what I posted, Ned...and while you refuse to acknowledge it, I clearly related - TyroneIrish - 1:48am 10/28/25
      - Calling out a slide to fascism is indeed bullshit. True Patriots laugh in your face. [NT] - Hensou - 6:07pm 10/26/25
      - Amen to that...it's Un-American to see it and not speak out...it's actually happening, and millions - TyroneIrish - 5:10pm 10/26/25

    - Have to wonder what your friends would think of you if you were honest with them about your thoughts [NT] - TyroneIrish - 5:13pm 10/26/25
      - Their condition would be worsened. I don't wish to do that to them. - NedoftheHill - 6:26pm 10/26/25
        But you're not being honest with them...how can you be a friend if they don't know you? - TyroneIrish - 9:34pm 10/26/25
        Unlike you, I don't lie. Choosing not to argue with someone is not "not being honest." - NedoftheHill - 9:59pm 10/26/25

        You are about to lie by omission (per your definition of lying) when you fail to tell me your SSN. - NedoftheHill - 12:14pm 10/27/25
