But, you know. The White House does hold press conferences. And the White House does give press access. Why would you pretend that things are the way they aren’t? It is a dangerous precedent, since it’s basically the president kicking out people who ask questions he doesn’t like.


Good for you.

The White House is not required to hold Press Conferences, the White House is not required to let anyone from the press to have briefings.

I didn't say that the White House WASN'T holding press conferences, you egg, I said that they don't NEED to.



A reasonably benign flame by Xadufell, but still not the kind of good-faith arguing that I would expect in a civil discussion thread.

As a one-off, I'm inclined to let it slide.

Plenty of people have said "You Egg" in this same manner, I should not be given special attention due to this.

Why not? It is explicitly gloating in a contemptuous manner over a concession. I'd like a second opinion.

Second opinion is it's not actionable. Merely being happy about winning an election (or being happy that one's ideological opponents lost) is not gloating. It's not the most qualitative post in the world, that is true, but it's still not actionable.
