To answer your question- I didn't. Do I agree with what this individual posts... I don't. But I still find the "dogpile" methodology to be distasteful. And I'll even tell you why.
As long as that remains the de facto course of action to address differing opinions here, those that participate in such behavior do nothing more than perpetuate an echo chamber of opinions. I don't understand why this is such an unpopular opinion with some of you- live in an echo chamber and you'll never be challenged, if you believe your opinions to be right then you should have the fortitude to defend said opinions against contrary posts here.
Insulting one's political stances, sexuality, masculinity, what have you- whether you recognize it or not, it only diminishes your own opinion (even if it's well grounded) . Truly what have you gained in running differing opinions away from the Pit? The ability to slap each others ass and pat their backs for doing a good job in running off the contrarian so all you hear is your own opinion repeated several times over?
Grow the fuck up- I don't even agree with this particular person (at all) but there's a number of you that just can't help yourselves than act like a High School Bully and you're certainly old enough to know better.
I hate to be the one to tell you but here it is- High School is over and it's never coming back, college is over, and you're no longer in a frat house, maybe you wore a uniform at some time like me- those adventures were then and are not now. You may have accomplished amazing things in HS, College, Military and I won't take that away from you- but your life didn't stop in either of those milestones and I damn well hope you haven't let your life get stuck then either. We've all seen those "type of people" whose glory years was decades ago and never were able to move past that. Don't let that be you, frankly you're better than that. Life didn't stop when you accomplished 'X', it goes on day after day with each day presenting another opportunity to achieve something more amazing than your younger self ever envisioned.
But dammit you have to be open to it- you have to realize your life hasn't stopped and if you're open to it- it'll just keep getting better if you embrace it.
TL/DR (I learned that here)- life isn't what you were or what you did. Life is TODAY. Go out and makes something of it.

"Stop the insults",...while passively insulting.
Oh the irony!
But, but,..."my moral authority is supreme."
Lmao.
Oh the irony!
But, but,..."my moral authority is supreme."
Lmao.
Amy Coney Barrett looked downright pissed walking in there. And Trump nominated her.
Is that directed towards me? If so- you're encompassing everything I'm warning against. Don't believe me- look at a mirror. "Life" and I really do mean LIFE, occurs each and every day. I share a message of hope and you can't see past your own nose... on the internet of all places?"Stop the insults",...while passively insulting.
Oh the irony!
But, but,..."my moral authority is supreme."
Lmao.
Get out there- carpe diem the fuck out of each day. I promise you if you choose to be the "class clown" and waste your time trying to prove me wrong you'll blink an eye and then realize that (1) you only had one shot living on this rock that orbits the sun and (2) you spent it worrying about what other strangers/folks you don't know or will ever meet think about you...
If you think I'm wrong on this- let's talk in a decade or two. You don't even comprehend what you're pissing away for "shits and grins".
Dude, less is more.
You are wasting your time, if you haven't realized that yet. As evidenced in another reply to your post. Kids will be kids. The only way to deal with someone's unruly petulant child is to ignore them and/or their behavior. Validating it with a response, even an admonishment, is perceived as a reward. It is how little minds work.
Bwaaaahahaha. Where to begin?
1. Capitalized "Man" in the first sentence.
C. No period after "my interests here"
5. What the fuck is this "though -"
#. "do debating" I guess that's from the King's English?
K. No "and"( used a comma) between homophobes and can't
3. Used..... Instead of a period after "can't punctuate a sentence"
D. I was expecting a "but" somewhere in the next sentence that sorta started with "yet" that's not capitalized.
@. "ccp-script" Good grief
9. somewhere... but. Someone please explain that
X. Unnecessary comma between out & and
?. "They will even tell straight -up you that". More King's English?
12. Capitalized enemy and friend
Z. Another random comma between amusement & and
465. And, and, and
That whole post sounded like Joe Biden trying to explain why Jimmy Carter was the worst president.
Trump removes 1000 Biden appointees 
Would you rather look at Big Mike or Melania? Pretty sure most world leaders will give a similar answer as you.
I stink I can explain the echo chamber thingy a little bit. And yes, it is as you describe and yes, it is to ward off differing opnions, etc.
Because it is a survival mechanism. Primates group together and seek cohesion. Does it mean they are right or even bound for success. Just a title little troup of monkeys.
There now, I think I will have offended both religions, christianity and "atheism."
That deserves a beer.
you be the judge
btw... is she hailing Hitler?

Wonder where that faggot Drudge was during the inauguration? Crying into his fedora?
I think I would've skipped that service
This is the section of the hide where we can call out people for egregious nonsense. Kkev is someone who has suddenly enlivened his account and is flat out posting rubbish - I'm not going to apologize for calling someone who indulges in dickhead behavior a dickhead.
There is the whole rest of the site for serious, considered conversation. This part - painting your face, wearing a red nose and big shoes will get you called a clown.

Then, here's my argument, here I am almost 100% in agreement with what you post and disagree with the other fella- but be better, your stance is sound- you don't need to result into schoolyard insults- this is an easy discussion that you can win just by discussing facts & logic. I shouldn't be the one who otherwise defends this fella but you all don't need to participate in a dogpile, just point out why their posts don't amount to a hill of beans is all.
You've got the high ground- acknowledge that and use it to your advantage.
The apostate church and their doctrines of demons-should- be scared.
We should expect more and louder voices like this out of the really apostate churches like the episcopalians. They can't help but to expose themselves in the face of light.
Before you go any further make sure you read this thread in it's entirety. Then decide if you would like to continue.
Bear Pit Expectations
For those that are new to (or not acquainted with) the Pit, it can be a rough and tumble place. While not everything is allowed, it is a place for shooting the breeze, expressing opinions on non-shooting related topics, and a place to blow off steam. But lately there seems to be some...
www.snipershide.com
Look at my posting history. How often do I dog pile? Find instances of me cussing at other people. How many times do I help others with information that is no longer available because it got deleted so they understand what happened?
The closest that you will find of me dog piling is trying to act as an archivist and helping others realize what they are getting in to. I am trying to help them decide to back out if they feel like they need to. You have been in threads here long enough to see me reference the Bear Pit Expectations thread more than once. You have scrolled past it many times. You have decided to continue. Your further involvement here is completely on you and sure seems like you like the attention you are getting.
This isnt a high and mighty peer reviewed journal controlled by academic elites. This is the real world.
Now THAT brings up a point worth discussing- wasting one's time....
Whether it was your intention or not, your comment alludes to a point much bigger than it seems to punch... what's a life worth living?
Is it success in grade/HS? I did that- was forced into honors classes despite my wishes (I just wanted to coast in HS) and still finished above the top 10% in my class despite being one of the biggest slackers. Happiness level... pretty dang low- "funny" story on that- my HS made a big point to "invite" me into the National Honor Society and I said- "nah" mainly because I wanted to work and earn money and not do the required volunteer work (outside of the 80-100+ hours I already needed to do to graduate from a Catholic HS. That made my own mother cry because I was "throwing away my life".
Is it success in college? I did that for a year. If you can believe it I was afraid I'd "miss" the "war" going on in Afghanistan & Iraq and dropped out after the 1st year (after a buddy of mine was killed in Iraq). That also made my mother cry.
Is it success in the "adventure" of a military career? I don't know that either. I gave up everything I knew and enlisted in one of the jobs that had the highest mortality rates, everyone at MEPS tried talking me out of it and offered every job the military had to offer and at 19 years old I thought I had it all figured out and told them to pound sand because I wanted a combat job. Surprise surprise, I got what I asked for and I quickly learned what I signed up for and all the stuff "they don't talk about". Well I apparently did a pretty good job and advanced through the ranks quickly but when my term was up- I had seen enough and had enough myself so said "nah" to re-enlisting and decided college wasn't nearly as hard as what I was doing so I got out and left whatever semblance of progress in a "career" I started (at the highest point of the "Great Recession" as well). I was "gifted" everything I asked for and reality trumped whatever romanced vision I had of pursuing the "big adventure". Happiness level still low.
I went back to college bound and determined to leave with a degree as fast as I could. I averaged 20 credits a semester because I knew that every semester I was in college I was paying for the 'pleasure' and was burning through every dollar I made (the GI Bill paid $1,100 a month that I tried to live off of while supplemented with what I saved during my deployment).
I didn't graduate in the top 10% of my college class like I did in HS before, after all come hell or high water I was graduating as fast as I could and took extra classes to the point I needed a waiver to take as many (after all it was costing me $$ every semester I was there and my grades suffered. I ended up graduating in almost 3 years exactly and also in the top "5" of my class. I really wanted it and wanted to get back into making money and putting my past behind me. I had no life (seriously) I needed to graduate and do so as fast as I could. For the 1st time in my life I was getting Straight "A's at a "Big 10" school paid for by the GI Bill. My "happiness" level was still next to zero. Yeah I did well but I was going through the motions to "get a good job".
Well low and behold- during my senior year- I was offered an internship that I thought I'd give a couple of years at after I graduated and once I had enough experience I'd "hang a shingle" outside and do my own thing. Well I've been at that job for well over a decade and quickly shot through the "ranks" at least to a point.
During this whole thing- I was courting my (now) wife and it was "us against the world". We came from nothing and in a lot of ways didn't have anything to speak of either, but for over a decade we put every dollar we had away to buy a house and we finally did so just last summer. It's a beautiful house too- and I really thought I "made it" when I finally had a piece of property to put my name on (trust me most folks here wouldn't have lasted over a year let alone a decade in the apartment we stayed at while we saved money. I'm talking rampant drug use, child custody issues in our "back yard" of the apartment, and likely enough mold that took a decade off of our lives. Happiness level after finally getting a house.... maybe 3 out of 10? Over a decade of sacrificing to put every dollar away and it's a beautiful house, but it's also a prison with the monthly mortgage payments. That said- it's the house I was always after- a small piece of land to call my own and look up at the stars (and actually see stars without the rampant light pollution just 15 minutes away from us. I truly feel blessed. I don't know how else to explain how the house has changed my life- just having a dishwasher, a laundry machine, hell just being able to park in a garage for the 1st time in my life and after decades... there was a price to pay to get to this point and these otherwise "little" things just mean more to me than most here can ever understand and it took me & my (now) wife a very long time to get here.
And if you have a problem with me- then so be it but let me say I literally waded through human shit to "earn" my GI Bill, and I spent over a decade living in an apartment surrounded by.. individuals that most here wouldn't put up with. You can believe me or not but I came home from work one day and was within a cunt's hair of getting arrested because my (then girlfriend/now wife) fell asleep at our apartment and the whole area was "evacuated" due to an active shooter across the back lot. I did NOT take that well and it ended up being an otherwise bad day for me and about 3 different police departments because I would not take "no" for an answer.
So that's who I am- I'm on the upswing and still my happiness is at a 3/10. I've put everything I've had into being "successful" and now... it doesn't matter how I did in grade/HS, it doesn't matter how many times I made my mother cry for wasting my "potential", it doesn't matter what I did when I wore a uniform & it doesn't matter what I was able to do afterwards in college either. I'm just another rat in the wheel.
But I'll say this- and I hope you hear me- I took a shot, hell I took a few shots and did relatively well each time. I've seen more joy and experienced more sorrow than most people can ever understand. Do I have regrets Hell yes- I have a lifetime's worth of regrets, and dreams that still haunt me but not a single one of them is because of a shot I didn't take when I was young. That's who I am.

Fake! That's not even Trump Force 1. It's some kind of "Tri-engine" jet (like a 727) as the engine is on top of the Fuselage, not below the wings!
Biggest disappointment of his last term. Did 180 as soon as the book deal was signed.
A lezzy, episcopal bishop. They're all about Satan worshipping, BLM and grooming kids.

In that livery? I'm not sure even he had that designed at that point (I thought the 727 was white with a big red T on the tail). But I'll accept that it was one of his first jets. Now, was he into Melania at that time?
having been an atheist for > 60 years,i don't believe in the devil either. however,the Christians on here have convinced me that satin worship,satin worshipers and satanic activities are real. i think the satin idea is incorrect. they are evil and do need to be dealt with to the fullest extent possible. aggressive punishment for their evil behavior is certainly in order and long overdue. any metaphysical considerations are a non issue. punishing thought and belief is a bad idea as we can see thru all the abuse conservatives have and are taking in the west. England being the prime example of that.
Well bro, you got one thing right. But it makes more sense if one follow's their own advice and perhaps invokes a bit of self-reflection. On one hand "I come in peace" on the other passive insults. It's endemic in our society, "I know what's best and I have the answers" and it doesn't matter if one practices what they preach, so long as they KNOW they are on the "right side". Hence some type of moral authority giving one a sense of pseudo-self-rightousness. I wasn't trying to clown you. You did that on your own. And TBH, I really DGAF either way. But if you want to lecture and think you "know" then expect someone to pull your string. You aren't talking to children here...although yes, there is certainly some childish behavior for lols. So, that mirror bro, you know where it hangs on your own wall?
It's definitely photoshop; but IIRC, he indeed had a 727.
Yep....you're right, it had a T on the "T-Tail" LOL
You are correct, when he ran his airline it had white with a red "T" but his personal airplane I think has always been that livery.
What in the world are you talking about? BTW- I'm not your "bro" either, let's please keep this exchange respectful.
