    You are falling for her pedantricks, just like you warned me not to do.

      She's special.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Ah, thank you for that. She's good at sucking you in.

          You wrote about the film being used to influence the election against Trump. If most trump supporters did not see the film why would it affect their vote? If indeed the film did "influence the election against Trump" it would have affected the so-called "floating voter" or those who may not have already registered and made a decision. If I recall correctly [I saw it some time ago] it ends with the reminder to vote.

          However, my own view is that it "preached to the converted". In other words those who made the decision to watch the film would most likely have already made their choice.

          I also asked you:

          "If most Trump supporters probably never watched the film in what way do you consider it violated campaign laws?

          And

          "I also asked you why you considered Baron Cohen had violated campaign laws. What is your response?"

          [My emphasis]

          On both occasions you ignored my question. as indeed you ignored the posts to you by Stoic and Roy which strongly suggests that Roy's observation at post # 56 is entirely correct and you are "not in the slightest bit interested in any answer to the question".

            I didn't ignore you, I pointed out your first question was non sensible, as it linked two things. (Thats what the if did).

            In the second I pointed out that I asked a question,, while you are acting as if I made a claim. Until you can understand English betperhaps you should stop trolling the forums. You've been too dishonest in this thread.

              Then as the person who started the thread, it fell to you to explain where you considered I was in error. Not constantly post ever more questions.

              The thread title is: In hindsight, did Borat 2 violate campaign laws? That is a direct question that contains no qualifier.

              Perhaps you should have worded it: In hindsight, might Borat 2 have violated campaign laws?

              Have you considered enrolling on a remedial English literacy course?

                Lol, now you are really doubling down on your trolling. Your complaint is now that the question wasn't phrased the proper way, and that's why you are saying I made a claim? That, and you are now saying it's my job to clarify your questions for you.

                You really should go troll elsewhere at this point, you have reached peak grammar nazi.

                  The fact is that you [like several others here] do not write good English and I pick you up on it. That my dear CivilDiscourse Edited by a Moderator is "the rub".

                    Your pretend stupidity when others don't follow your grammar nazi rules only reflects poorly on your own trolling behavior. Perhaps you should go burn some poor english writings in an oven.

                    At this point, I'll say this: Go Troll elsewhere with your dishonest tactics. Preferably in another forum entirely, but definitely in not in this thread.
