Not sure what the deal is with tennis balls, raquet balls hurt a whole lot more!

    Person who enters an argument with insults presumes to lecture about spending “opponents” goodwill.

    Tell others immediately to go fuck themselves when met with the mildest rebuttal before going on yet another near irrelevant tangent.

    Also missed the very clear implication that while the WW1 may well have been on the horizon the Duke’s assassination initiated it and the relevance to killing Trump. Especially given US internal politics and its geopolitics.

    Why do I even bother trying and failing at being witty when the jokes write themselves.

      It wasn’t an insult. You’re the person who sees any disagreement as a critique of their nonexistent intellectual authority, apparently.

      Also I didn’t miss any implications. FF’s assassination couldn’t by itself prepare troops and railroads for close war. That it was used as a formal cause means nothing. In 1870 France declared war on Prussia with the formal reason of being insulted (EDIT: this is false, they made some demands and such, dunno where I got this from). Tail doesn’t wag the dog.
