They are all scary. The Ameri-ban? Taliban-America?

No. They are their own breed. No need to sully Afghanis and Muslims with the shenanigans of the theocratic right in America.

While I agree that "they are their own breed," I have no issue with "sullying" the name of the TALIBAN, alright?

Let's be clear. I in no manner "sullied" the name of Muslims or Afghani's by making a play on words about the Taliban. Let's be reasonable alright?

Good day.

After a second look at your comment, I feel a sense of annoyance at your weak attempt to redefine my comment so you then could take issue with it.

I have a whole bag of middler fingers if you want a few! Tell ya what, just take the whole bag. I get a discounted rate.

Dude, you took what was a mild admonishment of a fairly obvious cultural blind spot, reinterpreted it in a frankly bizarre fashion (where on earth did I suggest you were sullying the Taliban???) then got real angry about it. Then you decided to gesture rudely because you were annoyed at your odd version of my comments. Seems like you maybe took a throwaway comment on the internet too personally.

I wanted to respond much more rudely (not that I'm being polite) but honestly I'm just flummoxed by how much my comment annoyed you.

"No need to sully Afghanis and Muslims with the shenanigans of the theocratic right in America."

Your words. That is an accusation that you made. Period. My play on words mocked the Taliban. Period.

Everything else you said was based on my "supposed" misunderstanding of what you wrote, however, I clearly did not.
