"As a". I have noticed that many people when speaking or writing start their sentence with "As a". Followed by an array of PC protected classes such as, "as a women, or "as a person of color" or "as a single mother",etc.

[TommyDale]

As a regular here, I find this outrageous.

[brownsfan]

Surely you jest?

(I hope you get the gist of what I’m trying to say).

[mikethevike]

As a FReeper, I would say this discussion has some merit.

[Keith in Iowa]

As a casual observer, I think you’re niggling.

[bedolido]

as a freeper... the saying doesn't bother me as much as kids today saying:

"Like... he goes... and then I go...."

whatever happened to he said and then I said...???

[RepoGirl]

As a proud Rottweiler owner, I have to say I commend your choice of freepnames.

[reagan_fanatic]

"As a"

As if.

[jazusamo]

Are you jousting, jesting or gisting?

[NRA1995]

“As a women?” “The jest of their point?” “Their will be no debate?” Went to public skrool, eh?

[kevkrom]

As a person who simply likes annoying people, I get what you’re saying.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

AS A FREEPER, PING!!!!!!!!!

[RockinRight]

As a conservative, I’m offended by pantywaist PC morons.

[martin_fierro]

Yup, sure have noticed it.

Lazy ‘Net rhetoric.

“As a single mother....” —> what follows is some statement about how she should be cut some slack

“As a mother....” —> what follows is some statement about how she’s uniquely qualified to opine as an expert on any subject

You can also tell when someone wants to be taken Very Seriously when they do not use any contractions (like now < |:)~ ).

[Shimmer128]

As a FReeper, surely you knew this was going to happen?

[b4its2late]

Sounds like a Brian post, and a Stewie reaction:

[alexander_busek]

As a professional editor, I would say that the expression you decry is legitimate, if not overused.

But as a “Freeper,” I would agree that the expression is frequently a signal that some pseudo-outrage is about to follow.

In short, when used to explain the speaker’s qualifications/credentials or perhaps special circumstances which led to his statement, the phrase is helpful. However, when meant to suggest that the speaker’s opinion is sacrosanct or to warn in advance that dissent will not be tolerated, it smacks of brow-beating.

[Maximus of Texas]

As a horny. Oh wait, that should be I's is. My bad.

[Larry Lucido]

Asa Hutchinson, I disagree.

[Larry Lucido]

As a man, and as a assman at that, I assert that I assent to your assertion.

[andy58-in-nh]

As a schizophrenic, we agree.
