I check all the threads I've posted in if they pop up when I click "Today's Posts". I didn't even intend to become a troll on the European Football Thread but I posted in it once and so I kept checking it out for no reason and one thing lead to another.

Please cite me once coming in this thread just to try to **** in a comedian someone else likes (Ralphie may doesn't count cause that was retaliation)

You're the only one posting dissertations about comedians to respond to, really. Most of us are just posting clips. That's because REAL comedy fans don't try to deconstruct comedians because it tends to lessen the humour in the process.

Your original statement was "Ja being childishly vindictive in the face of barely any criticism is hilarious."

This suggests the primary goal was being vindictive not funny.

Now you're saying it's both. Quit back peddling.

The only reason you think this is backpedaling is because of the false dilemma that you proposed.

once again we're back where we started

No, vindictiveness (defined by Google as as strong or unreasoning need for revenge) didn't drive those jokes at all

To the extent that he "responded" to the backlash it was by not deciding to avoid certain topics altogether to avoid controversy. He said nothing hateful, nothing mean spirited, nothing bent on revenge
