A vague response that doesn't really offer anything to the conversation and, in the context of the post you replied to, it doesn't make much sense and makes it sound like you're defending rioters? It's unclear.

I certainly am not defending rioters - simply pointing out that the thugs on the left don’t need much excuse for violence. Thugs are thugs whatever their politics but I don’t see you making the same noises about left-wing thugs.

Or you're confusing opportunistic rioters for protesters in order to push your crusade against the left, that's more likely.

So no such thing as opportunistic right-wing rioters then. Is isn’t me being unbalanced in my comments on rioters and only making negative comments on so-called right-wing rioters. Apparently those of the left-wing variety don’t exist. Sometimes a bit of balance needs injecting into such a scenario. Talking of political crusades ...

So you're taking something I have not said and shoving it down my throat. This seems like a reasonable approach to discussion.....

Is there any point of me saying anything if you're just gonna reply to whatever you imagined I've said?

It was what you were suggesting as you have only acknowledged the existence of those on the left. You always speak as though rioters, opportunistic or otherwise, are only a right-wing issue. Both have their troublemakers.

Actually you are completely wrong. I've said that most rioters are opportunistic, I never actually specifically said anything about the left and I didn't say it didn't apply to the right either.

Once again, you've responded, not to what I actually wrote but what you imagined I wrote. I'm getting quite tired of it, you need to work on knowing the difference between what people actually write and mean and what you want them to mean because your entire argument in this thread rests on your incorrect assumption.
