Dude. You are a master at dodging. I have asked you questions about your own words four different times in this thread.
I have laid out the rational basis for my judgements, by quoting your own words in the last post I made.
What is it about those two questions that you really don't want to address?

I wouldn't say he's a master of deflection, just that he's tireless at it.
That doesn't indicate skill, just devotion.

Why are you so interested in the answer to questions, that have nothing to do with the conversation? It’s not that I have an adversion to the questions, but the idea, that you seem so insistant on making shot up, to support your natative, that makes me not want to follow your rabbbit trail. That and I didn’t see a need to change the subject.

How do they have nothing to do with a conversation about a gay man who stood up to a homophobe on the world's stage? Your insistence that because Mr. Pence was nice about stating his support for the athlete, and you minimizing his anti-gay bigotry as a "difference of opinion," all the while conspicuously using scare quotes when talking about gay rights, and repeatedly referencing the homosexual agenda---all that is exactly what this thread is about.
Answer the questions:
1) Why did you use scare quotes on the words "gay rights"?
2) What do you mean by the "homosexual agenda"?

It’s all about me? That doesnt seem right!
Perhaps if you where not trying to twist my words and ifalsly mpose what you imagine was my beliefs based on such crappy reasoning I would have been more inclined to answer your off topic questions.
Good night.

LMAO.
Steel has given you ample opportunity to clarify your position, and you simply run away?
And how has Steel twisted your words? You said them! They're there, quoted!
What a coward.
