Reply #15: No, subtext and disingenuity, I guess. [View All]

[Donald Ian Rankin]

I think it's fairly clear that your post is meant to be a sideways swipe in the Obama Wars engulfing DU.

Ironicallu, I'm not entirely sure whether the subtext is "and Obama is one, and people who oppose him are bad and wrong" or "and Obama isn't one, and people who support him are bad and wrong", but I'm reasonably certain that you meant to imply one of those two while maintaining plausible deniability, and that looking over your posting history would reveal which.

What you actually said is completely inoffensive. I don't think it's unreasonable to read an insulting subtext into it, however, I'm afraid.

I think you would get better results with a less disingenuous post, to be honest.
