“You’re not a conservative” is not an insult.

NAMBLA is an impossibility at every level that I can think of and conflating gay-marriage with it is absurd. True -- that argument is the equivalent of equating minor rollbacks in the welfare state with throwing Grandma out to starve.

"You’re not a conservative” is not an insult." That's your opinion. It's not mine.
When someone is called "not a conservative", when speaking on a conservative forum, it is plainly insulting.
Do you think it was a compliment? It was an attempt to define me. It was either a flattering definition, or an insulting definition. I'm sorry you aren't able to discern that.
To: OldDeckHand
Just a statement, that’s all.
You’d have to be incredibly thin skinned to feel insulted by that.

Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg thinks the age of consent should be 12. Never say never.

"Just a statement, that’s all. You’d have to be incredibly thin skinned to feel insulted by that." Statements aren't necessarily made in a vacuum - absent any prior history. Just saying.
To: OldDeckHand
Again, you’d have to be INCREDIBLY thin skinned to be insulted by that.

I dunno — basically, it’s an accusation that “you don’t belong here”.

Sorry, it’s not an insult.
Neither is telling someone they’re thin skinned.

"Again, you’d have to be INCREDIBLY thin skinned to be insulted by that." You'd have to be a pretty unintelligent person to think that this was our first exchange.
You don't think that, do you? And, you'd have to be pretty thin-skinned if you think being called unintelligent is insulting - it's just a statement, right?
See how this works.
Saying someone is not a conservative on a conservative website, isn't flattering and it's not a term of endearment. Insults are either bad for everyone, or they're bad for no one. It can't be something in the middle.

You’d have to be INCREDIBLY THIN SKINNED to be insulted by that.

"You’d have to be INCREDIBLY THIN SKINNED to be insulted by that." And you would have to be INCREDIBLY OBTUSE to think that.
You can call me names, and I can call you names. It isn't that complicated, to anyone who isn't INCREDIBLY OBTUSE.
I can be just as argumentative as you seem to want to be. In fact, I enjoy it.
To: OldDeckHand
Still doesn’t change the fact that you would have to be incredibly thin skinned to be insulted by a statement.
You can wiggle, squirm, and try to best Lawrence Taylor’s football field footwork all you want, doesn’t change the fact that you’d have to be incredibly thin skinned to be insulted by “You’re not a conservative”.

Is exactly the argument someone would make who was incredibly obtuse. You’ve got that down. You should look for a publisher. Your first book is going to be a blockbuster.
