Maybe it’s a cliché to say the gloves came off in Tuesday’s presidential debate. But then again, maybe not, since the candidates sometimes looked like they were actually about to start boxing.

He just posts and leaves.

IMO, he's a hit and run spammer. If he's not, he should stick around and participate in his own threads.

It's inappropriate in any event. If we are to have a reasoned, intelligent debate then post something from experts trained in the science of non-verbal communications of which 'body language" is only a part.

Further the analogy to "gloves off" etc. shows a shallow ignorance of both the science of non verbal communication AND sport. The terms "drop the gloves" is a hockey term, meaning bare knuckled fist fighting as keeping the gloves on is considered sissy and unsportsmanlike.

To take that to boxing, where lightly padded gloves are worn, is stupid, since the gloves serve to protect the hitter's hands which have to last several rounds and thereby provide "entertainment" and not have the fight ended too early by broken knuckles or an eye poked out.


If you're going to post something you want taken seriously, do more than surf for a cartoon that supports your narrow minded bias...otherwise grow some skin because reasoned liberals and conservatives alike will expose you for a fool in a funny hat with bells ,,,,

So?


So it's still a cartoon drawn by a political cartoonist who has an unlikely background in non-verbal communications.

Lmao. I'm both happy and honored that you considered it good enough to use it yourself.
Incidentally, "Left it laying on the street in front of his house" is exactly what Bill Clinton did to Monica Lewinsky. That poor, poor intern.

Okay, you're not a spammer. Thanks for letting me know. Welcome to the forum.
As you asked, you can abstract the article. That's fine.
