"Can you point out any significant press coverage of Trump's nastiness that qualifies as "irrational"?" Sure but I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader.

  Seems like substantiating your allegation would increase the likelihood of being taken seriously -- or proven wrong, of course, which is what I'll assume you are as long as you are unwilling to prove it.

    Thanks for going back through my old comments. I love it when people take me seriously enough to investigate. You aren't going to be able to "prove me wrong" because what we are talking about here is largely a matter of nuance and opinion. Or manifest and obvious fact if you'd rather see it like that. I know what facts I see. Feel free to register your disagreement.

      Look everyone understands Trump hates newspapers that call him out on his lies which is why he banned them, it is pretty straightforward. Hence that whole Flynn thing. Or did Trump fire a guy over a fake story?

    Make a point or get the fuck out. No matter what the behavior of other users it's never okay on HN to be uncivil.

      The use of the word 'fuck' doesn't mean it's uncivil. I'm merely making a point as forcefully as the subject demands.

        Suggesting someone should leave a forum because you don't have the patience to read what they are writing is uncivil. Just don't read it and move on.

        My point is in the original post but you are making it so much better than I ever could.
