Either way, a joke is not slander, I didn't take your original comment as slander because it was a joke, as was my reply.
But I do think your later replies calling your political opponents racist is slander.
> For somebody who whines so much about political posts, you sure post a lot of batshit crazy political conspiracy theory stuff, a lot of which that gets downvoted and flagged and deadened, in fact even your user name is obviously political:
The difference is I only reference politics in political threads. I don't shift the topic to politics like you did. This is not even a political article!
This is a left leaning site so ofc some of my comments get downvoted, similar to why you blew up. This site can be a bubble and your bubble was burst.
If you want to discuss the politics we can, but simply calling me a conspiracy theorist / racist / bat shit insane etc is slander and not a debate, thus the motto in my profile.
This thread about Couchbase's new storage engine is not really the place though, don't you think?
EDIT: (to reply to your edit)
> And this isn't the first time you've hypocritically demanded that other people not to talk about politics, while you do that all the time:
The post you linked is taken out of context, it was in reference to talking politics / money / religion at work.
> in fact even your own user name is obviously political "HunterB123":
Yeah it's a combination of hunter2 and the hunter laptop scandal. Both terrible opsec! Do you not like technical and political jokes now?
