Which comes off as kind of obnoxious in its own right, if you ask me...
No... the shopworn "tactic" of sealioning (arf-arf... look it up yourself) is what actually comes off as being "kind of obnoxious in its own right". My response of "look it up yourself" was an imperative to let you know that I'm no fool who plays the sea-lioning game... especially when the info being demanded is easily available to anyone who knows how to google.
In that context, my response was different, so I changed it accordingly.
Yet, in the "misunderstood" context you thought it was perfectly fine to insinuate that I was dishonest or stupid? Is that about right? Did I miss anything? Originally it was okay, but otherwise the best you can do is "edit" it. Absolutely amazing.
I guess there's always an excuse. Always another reason. Always one more justification for being personally insulting to me and accusing me of being a liar or of being dumb. See? Here's the thing: even when you realize you were wrong, or that you misunderstood, or that you were confused... you STILL think it was justified to say that to me.
Okay, whatever. Fine. I'll be the bigger person and take you at your word that (maybe) you didn't mean it... even though you did say it. I just think it's a real shame that a grown man (or woman as the case may be, who knows) refuses to accept or to take personal responsibility for their own insulting words and smear.
Perhaps you're complete prince (or princess) who is simply charming in real life, but I've seen no evidence of that here. Whatever... have a nice life.
Goodbye.

Sanders was not demanding prosecutions. But he wanted the bailout financed differently.

If the bailout didn't occur and the banks failed, MILLIONS of Americans in the 99% would have lost..

Yes... because my response of "HIPAA" may have been referring to something other than HIPAA.
