Good Morning.

As you go through your day, don’t forget JJP.

Drop those links. Engage in debate. Give us trivia and gossip too.

And always, have a peaceful day.

“….Yea, I'm sure you have NEVER had a typo in your hundreds of post here at JJP, LT….”
I've had plenty of typos which is why I've never questioned anyone academic intellect like you did with me. I've questioned their logic plenty of times.
“…Wonderful! I could care less whether you careless….”
Like here. When you say you “could care less”, you either care a little or you care a lot and that's the only way you can care less. It's much more effective to say “I couldn't care less”.
“…do whatever you feel you need to do to hold onto what remnants of dignity and integrity you have left since you have been proven to be a liar here at JJP…”
Except most people here (including some your “comrades”) knew exactly what I was doing. So it doesn't matter.
“….If whether I was banned at Daily Kos was so unimportant, why did you feel the need to keep peddling the lie that I was banned there? What was the end game? Oh, the ”hypocrisy”—but what “hypocrisy?”….”
The hypocrisy of you claiming of not having an agenda by posting here, when you're proving now more than ever that you do. The funny part is I've been saying you were banned from Dkos for months and only now have you proven what I said wrong. You could've ended this months ago but for some strange reason you stayed silent. Why is that?
“….On more than one occasion I have told you that I have serious problems with the founder of that website; problems that I don’t have with the founders here and other places….”
Problems like what? that they pushed for the passage of HCR even though they had issues with it? JJP did that. Or when Markos dissed Dennis Kucinich? The admins at JJP did that as well. So what exactly are you talking about.
“…..Also, there’s a lot white liberal racism at dailykos there that got old real quick. If you actually read some of my diaries, I wrote about racism there too….”
And yet a few months ago you were defending Jane Hamsher's collaboration with Grover Norquist. And it still don't explain why you no longer post at WeeSeeYou.
BTW i see you've already given up your whole “percentage argument” you were trying to make. I'm hoping you realized just how silly it was to go there.

“I've had plenty of typos which is why I've never questioned anyone academic intellect like you did with me.I've questioned their logic plenty of times.”
Do you mean “anyone’s”? I think the “s” is needed to show ownership if I’m correct.
No, you haven't attacked my “academic intellect.” You have only tried to smear me by lying and saying I was banned at the DKOS, called me a PUMA along with a Jane Hamsher sock puppet, falsely suggested that I'm posting under different screen names, questioned my personal character, employment and motives for posting here. At one point you even questioned my race! Now all of sudden you want to evoke logic and civility…please. I have no reason not to believe that you are a professor, possibly a good one. But if you're gonna sling mud, be prepared to have it slung back from time to time–I don't live by the Obama doctrine of taking a beating from my enemies lying down.
“Like here. When you say you “could care less”, you…”
Okay it was cute first time, now it's just annoying. It's a blog, not a dissertation, LT.
“The hypocrisy of you claiming of not having an agenda by posting here”
What's your agenda? I guess you think your motives shouldn't be questioned because you are in the majority opinion here? We all are here to share our ideas and opinions amongst other black intellectuals. My opinion just happens to be in the minority–no nefarious agenda here.
“The funny part is I've been saying you were banned from Dkos for months and only now have you proven what I said wrong….Why is that?”
Because I didn't (and still don't), have anything to prove to you. I knew that I was telling the truth and that you were lying, that was enough for me. But you kept peddling that lie not only to me, but to other posters,and after a certain point one just has to call out the BS and foolishness so can adults can talk.
“Or when Markos dissed Dennis Kucinich? The admins at JJP did that as well.”
The folks at JJP are not in political bed with the Democratic Party the way DKOS is. Kos holds conventions for Democratic elected officials and poses as a progressive site even though their founder does crap like this on national TV to a genuine progressive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqmcVn0Masc
And he did this to Kucinich just having done this himself a few months prior: http://twitter.com/markos/status/6679156993
Drastic inconsistency like that makes me think that Democrats got to him and forced him to attack Kucinich, which means he's just a pawn. Jill and the folks here at very least were consistent in their support of the bill like Paul Krugman and others. I can respect that even though I strongly disagree with that position.

“…You have only tried to smear me by lying and saying I was banned at the DKOS,…”
And you still haven't explain why you took so long to prove you weren't? Was it because GN believed it?
“….called me a PUMA….”
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/23/573501/-Hillary-tried-to-tell-us!!
Who makes posts like these but a PUMA?
Who wants to punish democrats even if it means people will suffer but a PUMA?
If it walks like a PUMA, speaks like a PUMA, behaves like a PUMA…….
“…..along with a Jane Hamsher sock puppet, falsely suggested that I'm posting under different screen names, questioned my personal character, employment and motives for posting here….”
It may have to do with you having a different story for why you're here every time you're asked.
“….What's your agenda? I guess you think your motives shouldn't be questioned because you are in the majority opinion here? We all are here to share our ideas and opinions amongst other black intellectuals. My opinion just happens to be in the minority–no nefarious agenda here….”
This is a post within itself. So explain again why you stopped posting at WeeSeeYou?
“…..The folks at JJP are not in political bed with the Democratic Party the way DKOS is. Kos holds conventions for Democratic elected officials and poses as a progressive site even though their founder does crap like this on national TV to a genuine progressive….”
Now would you happen to be talking about the same convention in which Cheryl Contee, aka Jill Tubman, aka the founder of JJP is on the advisory committee?
This Cheryl Contee/Jill Tubman?

“…Drastic inconsistency like that makes me think that Democrats got to him and forced him to attack Kucinich, which means he's just a pawn…”
Aren't you getting pissy at me for making accusation at you and then you turn right around and say that?
“…..Jill and the folks here at very least were consistent in their support of the bill like Paul Krugman and others. I can respect that even though I strongly disagree with that position. …”
