@SethN12 Yeah, doc. See, if we were back in 2016, I would have probably read those words with horror, but after a few of years of watching people tweak the truth a little, I've learned to be a little more skeptical.
Let's take a look at those tweets.
@SethN12 He wasn't claiming to be the king of Israel. He was repeating what somebody else said. Something we can hear somebody named Wayne Allyn Root say on a video embedded in this page
realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/08/…
and even hasn't literally called Trump the king of Israel.
@SethN12 In summary, then, you resorted to paraphrasing a quote taken out of context, in order to do your part to create yet another crazy drama.
@SethN12 Are you displeased by the thought of Trump being in office? I have no problem with that. He's not the anointed one (whoever that would be). He's not my king. You can oppose him, and that's fine.
But don't take a crawl through the sewer to do so.
@SethN12 That's disgusting, unprincipled behavior and count on it, it will blow back on you and on whoever you support.
@SethN12 How do you plan to get people to listen to any valid criticism that somebody might have of the president, when the audience is getting accustomed to the idea that his opposition will lie without hesitation or shame?
@SethN12 When you play this kind of game at the expense of a sitting president, you're helping pave his way to a second term.
Dr. Norrholm, somebody, inevitably, was going to do that fact check. Just be glad it was me and not a MAGA, and clean up your act.
@SethN12 You knew better that to do this.
@SethN12 I archived your tweet
in both the Internet and Webpage (Archive.Today) archives, so if you were hoping to do a dirty delete and then lie about the lie you just told, that's not going to work out well for you.
I do have MAGA followers.
@SethN12 Given the frequency with which I've been archiving tweet, when I give them these links
I think they'll know how to use those.
@SethN12 I'm a centrist, not a MAGA. I'd like to see everybody learn how to be good citizens and at least sort of get along. I don't want to see you get destroyed, I want to see you remember that you know the difference between right and wrong, and start doing the former.
@SethN12 But society can't function when people don't have to answer for the things they do, so I'll leave those links behind for those far more in love with the idea of Internet blood sports than I am.
@SethN12 If you start behaving ethically, then all I've handed my angrier followers is a dull blade. Like arming somebody with a butter knife.
@SethN12 But if you go on playing games like this, with each successive lie you tell (that can be documented), the case against you will become more damning.
Those figurative "butter knives" will get sharper, the longer you choose to go on trying to be devious.
@SethN12 Remember, the Far Right likes to destroy its enemies, too.
If you start living honorably, I will have helped you become an honorable man, and that is surely a good thing.
@SethN12 If you choose to go on destroying your own credibility, that is your choice and your responsibility.
@SethN12 As somebody who would make foolish, self-destructive choices would surely be a bad influence on others, by giving you the opportunity to self-destruct, I again serve the greater good.
@SethN12 That was some simple philosophy, Seth. Were I talking to physicists or a mathematician, I wouldn't have even bothered to explain something as trivial as that.
@SethN12 But I've dealt with psychologists before, and I'm quite familiar with what passes for ethics in your community.
@SethN12 What to normal people would be a discussion we had with our parents when we were three, becomes a discussion we have to have with you guys when you're in adulthood.
That's kind of sad, but here we are, as I explain some of the basic facts of life to you.
@SethN12 I'm not your dad, Seth. I shouldn't have had to have this talk with you.
Get your act together. This was pathetic.
@SethN12 While I'm about to block Seth, I'm also going to unroll this thread. He'll know what I said about him.
He'll also know it was the truth. Follow the links, and you'll know this, too. It's not debatable.
@SethN12 I've archived the comments you see above.

because Dr. Norrholm is in no position to be talking about anybody else's narcissism.
