...and you are an adult with, I would hope, the responsibility to atleast do your proper research when you make the decision to attack somebody. Which you clearly haven't done. For a politician, it has become fairly obvious that spin doctoring is high on your political agenda.
The point is that you haven't flat out asked me which platform's of Pincott's I supported. And here I am, calling you out... AGAIN. This is what, the seventh time now? I want to hear you directly ask me what my positions on each of Pincott's platforms are. Then, I want you to post on your blog your clarifications and admit that you didn't do your due dilligence when writing it. Do that, and then there's no problem. I'll forgive you.

Pretty high praise for someone is not a fan.

High praise? Maybe to you. 'transcending', in this case, very clearly means thinking about issues other that building roads and infrastructure into suburban areas. You know, issues like innner city beautification - ie, the pedestrian bridges. I thought that was obvious. I clearly stated, right after, that I am not a Pincott supporter. Funny how you leave that out, huh?

And what am I trying to cover up?

I am referring to getting clarification from me on which platforms of Pincott's I like, and which ones I don't like. You never did that. I'm not going to say this again, that's the research I'm talking about. You so whole-heartedly advocate me as 'Pincott's #1 fan', yet you don't provide evidence as to why that is, and you don't bother to ask me for clarification. Instead, you write willy nilly whatever it is furthers your political agenda on your blog in such a degrading, juvenile fashion.
Your news sources are somewhat adequate, if not less credible. Quoting opinion pieces and news stories that clearly only state Pincott's positions isn't very good evidence as to what he has actually done, or accomplished, in City Hall during his tenure. He wants to ban firepits? Good for him, there's hundreds of things aldermen want and do not want to do. I think this is a stupid platform on Pincott's position. Bet you didn't know that. You know how I know? Because you didn't ask me, but wow, what a surprise.
Your news sources merely re-inforce their platforms. This isn't revelationary news. Your other sources are opinion pieces, lots are which are from your own flesh and blood. Yup, that's not biased or anything.

I'm not doing that work, I don't have to. The 'insulting tones it is YOUR responsibility to pick those out and quote them. You made the claim that you were insulted, and now are not willing to post what those insults actually are. The onus is on you to do so, and you're not doing it.

Uh huh. Spin doctoring, out-of-context arguments, links to clearly skewed and biased opinions, articles that prove nothing more than Pincott's platforms (which is already common knowledge), willy nilly writing / research, failure to get proper clarification from the source himself (me), trigger-happy keyboard fingers (writing I'm from New Zealand, then checking my IP and seeing that I'm in Calgary, and then acting non-surprised)... need I continue?

What bothers me is when you take what I say, twist it into your own argument without doing your proper clarification with me first, then post it on another forum and hide behind that, refusing to show here how you've twisted my words. Why couldn't you just have PM'ed me the fact that you were going to twist my words and put it on your blog? Huh?
