Shad Olson
This person is saying Sayoc was a Democrat until 2016. Is this true?Rich (talk) 05:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It appears to be true that Olson is saying it, yes. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:36, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * what?? What’s this about, some sarcastic silliness? You can be hard to take bugs. Im sure you realize i asked if Shad Olson was correct in saying Sayoc was a Dem before 2016, i was not asking if Olson said that, which is well established. Im quite tired of your pseudosmart remarks.Rich (talk) 08:02, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Another thought- Baseball bugs, why are you even here on wikipedia? Your work is pointlessat best. What is that you ever try to accomplish?Rich (talk) 08:57, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Apology! Base bugs Im just so upset today i couldn’t be reasonable, in the hospital all night withnother possible heart attack. Your contributions are almost always pretty good! And your occasional snark does no harm!Rich (talk) 10:27, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * All is calm. You had a long night, like the Red Sox and the Dodgers minus the big paychecks. Be well. :) The core problem is that right-wingers are trying to say the alleged perp was a closet Democrat, ignoring the obvious fact that he's not playing with a full deck, and is just looking for scapegoats. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:37, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Baseball Bugs, you are a very kind and forgiving person! Thanks Rich (talk) 20:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Even the Daily Caller's fact checker seems to agree there's no evidence Sayoc was a Democrat [//checkyourfact.com/2018/10/28/fact-check-cesar-sayoc-registered-democrat/]. Maybe some Americans are confused because they think someone is either a Democrat or Republican so since he first registered as a Republican in 2016, he must have been a Democrat before then, but that's wrong in at least 2 obvious ways. To be clear, this doesn't mean he wasn't a Democrat, simply that there's good evidence he was. Nil Einne (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Nil, I think you meant "there's no good eveidence". --Khajidha (talk) 12:06, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right, thanks for the correction! Nil Einne (talk) 18:22, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
