How did you miss the point, Julie? If I say, as Sam has said about Poetizer, that it was "not a good idea" to elect George Bush and that the only difference between him and Trump was that Bush understood he was an idiot and let people with brains advise him, I'm clearly mocking Bush. The fact that I've identified a significant Trumpian vice that Bush didn't share doesn't change that.
Sam's claim that he wasn't making fun of those on the site is disingenuous, and you have no reason to apologize for calling him on it.
I'm less kind-hearted than you, Julie, and less boldly opinionated and clever than Sam ("Some beginners should become begunners" is a good line!). I would neither publically mock those beginners, nor stand up for them. For you, Julie, I gladly stand up.
