The left sure as fuck doesn't play any games. We just make excuses. We defend ourselves from imagined dog whistles while the left spouts nonstop racism and calls for violence. I'm over it.
This- in my life I've made a point of letting people I dislike know that I have no love for them and would like them to steer clear of me. I'm never initially vitriolic but I'm very laconic. "You're generally unpleasant and I don't enjoy being around you," can hurt a person way more than hauling off and calling them a name. Especially if you can state it calmly and as a matter of fact.
Bah. 'He has to play the game...'

This world needs more of that.
That is how I was raused. And you are right; a calm weighty reproof is usually much stronger than a passion driven name calling.
That is the spirit! All the simpering snakes dancing around each other are only there for the theater and personal gain.
