278. You, too, are demonstrating one of the techniques of flaming, which is

to ignore the specific response and evade, dismiss, and broadbrush a "reply" that attacks.

Yes, it *was* an attack. What do you call something that has "crap" in the response.

No, it was *not* "an honest question." I replied very specifically, that very frequently the UnReKKK is used for INNOCUOUS or otherwise characteristically Democratic threads, threads that do NOT call for it. To repeat since you ignored this the first time, my response was SPECIFIC. *I* have used the UnRec for clearly WINGNUT, RACIST, or otherwise troll threads, so, to repeat (3rd time) I did not say that EVERYBODY who uses the function was this, that, or anything. AND I didn't engage in "casual calling."

No, it was *not* an honest question," part deux: The other poster posed the supposedly "honest" question then went directly to using the word "crap."

Thanks for your concern.
