How someone feels about it is not a factor because feelings have no bearing on facts.
That's hearsay which is inconsistent with established facts.
Your contributions to this thread are substantial, and belies your stated belief that this shouldn’t be a big deal.
I didn't offer feelings, I offered facts. And none of those facts have been refuted.
What did I say that wasn't factual?
You commented on my feelings about it which are not a factor in the facts of the situation.
The facts have already been established apart from hearsay and opinion that doesn't correspond with the established facts.
All I said about your feelings on this issue is that they're your own business. Nothing more.
Nothing I offered was hearsay or false. My opinion, that the FBI director should not abuse his authority or position for personal gain or amusement, doesn't run counter to any of the established facts. It's actually a pretty well accepted standard for anyone in a leadership position, in fact.
Which is irrelevant to the topic.
What you said is contrary to established facts because that's not what happened, according to established facts.
Fine. It's not as if I were making an issue of it anyway. I won't mention it again if you don't.
Nope. Every single statement I've made has been consistent with established facts. I have not made a single statement that is contrary to any established facts. Not one.
That's already been done extensively. Denial and a desire for endless repetition won't change that.
Yes, having already shown that what you've said goes aginst established facts has been done.
You have not. That's why you're not doing it now, nor can you point to where you've done it previously.
Sorry but we're not going back several pages for a restart. It's already been established in previous posts that there's zero evidence that going on a brief invited group tour is an abuse of power.
Based on what? Factual information regarding groups of ten being taken on underwater tours by the Navy?
A reasonable conclusion free of sensationalism is that Patel was there and was invented to join a group tour. A being in the right place at the right time thing.
There's no discernible reason why they wouldn't. Is there some established rule that FBI directors can't or shouldn’t do so?
That doesn't establish any kind of wrongdoing on his part.
Out of ten people Patel is the only one people are making a big deal over going on group tours conducted by the Navy. But he's an FBI director doesn't seem to make much sense as to why he's the only one out of these group tours people are complaining about.
The view that he's just one of multiple people who've gone on such tours seems the most level headed.
I look up everything. Even everything that my own side says because I hate when someone misrepresents us.
It’s only your opinion that he abused his position. Nothing more, nothing less.
They must have changed the rules, then, because that is exactly how it worked just a few years ago, making everyone upset because they’d have to go back and change it back to what they wanted it to say. The very definition of a wiki is that it is open to all to edit. We trialed using a wiki here to set rules in different parts of the board and it was a total failure because everyone wanted it to say what THEY wanted it to say, and we had to scrap it.
Who isn't? But the point is my spending a lot of time in a thread like this one, is not because I consider it a heavy matter. To me it ranks a little above threads like "things not to put on a pizza".
