You wait until I post, and then edit my post to add something to it, and then you quickly and angrily reply accusing me of something, say, comparing you to Hitler or an ad-hominem attack. Then you go on to "let me off the hook" for editing my post.

There's only one problem with this plan. The edits have timestamps.

James it is a tactic called "Masabido" or setting someone up with things they didn't say or do.

No no this is inspired.
I believe he has created the ultimate forum debate strategy.
I'm going to try this out on another forum.

Nice try bro, but u posted at 1:23 with that racial epithet and i posted in dismay also at 1:23. U edited at 1:24. Ur a racist.

So what happens if someone else saw what I wrote originally, in the narrow window of time, and disputes your conclusions? How do you counter that?
Do you invent a conspiracy, or just rely on general outrage?

Even if he said it so what? That is the point. If you as a first generation immigration who has never went through slavery or has ties to it say it freely what gives you the right to say a word you deem wrong? Besides as a Somali stop using the midgaan word for one who looks and talks like you and shares the same religion as you before you call James out for saying the nigger (although it is clear now he did not say it).

James, its best to ignore the trolls before they take you down in arguing with them. Remember, debate with a fool and you become the fool.

This is common enough to have a special name?

Ahh masabbido is slander, fair enough.

Yup.

For example you took a person's pen and when the person can't find it, you sly mention "some guy was walking around your seat".

Or two people are contesting something and you say something like "well didn't you say this or that" and the other person responds "no, I didn't" but by then it is too late because doubt has set in for audience and the only thing "masabido" aims for is to cause doubt.

That was fast. Where did you get the meaning from?

Great website:

I found two great websites to help me this year, this one has a rudimentary Somali-English translator too:

But why if you talk about American and Canadian politics, why can't James talk about Somali? It's a little bit hypocritical.

lol didn't see your reply before, I live in Canada, markaa Canadian politics is my business, and Canada is considered American JR. Hence why we follow American politics, bal ii sheeg ninkaan fudada cad maxa ka kalay arimah Somalida, iyo qabiikeena.

Horta adiga maxad cawa oo dhan u dabo socota ninkaan, are you his babysitter, ready to shoot anyone oo dhaho James. shocking.

Wow. That is the best only Somali-English dictionary I have seen yet.

He is Canadian as well, born and bred and so was he his father. What if he says no go back to Somalia, you are not Canadian and have no right to claim you little African refugee? What would you think?

Again, Nabz it is a little bit hypocritical. You are not Israeli or Palestinian, what gives you the right to talk about Gaza?

Again, a bit hypocritical Nabz. I know you're better don't be like some of these i.diots.

The irony of this situation is that the only person I actually have used an ad-hominem attack on was Voltage, when I called him a jerk 2 years ago
