Thank you Christina for sending me copies of my posts, it looks like they will prove useful for the reason I stated when I requested them.
It says a lot of positive things about you that you honored my request.
That said...Time for rebuttals...
With regard to White saying, "
Just wondering... why do you want copies of abortion posts? Seems a bit odd."...and Cheap Trixie asking,
"Do you save copies of all your posts on all the forums you post on?"
I like to have access to what I post (not just '
abortion posts'
) because, as I said in my first post here, I do not want my positions and words to be misrepresented like what is taking place in this thread.
In addition, I do a lot of research on topics and having access to my posts makes it easier to review previous research and helps me to hone and be consistent in my opinions.
It is insinuated in this thread that I ignored warnings and broke rules, when I did nothing of the kind.
You all are free to do that because the reader has no way of knowing what was actually posted so you can insinuate whatever you want.
I've learned over the years after giving people the benefit of the doubt repeatedly that Liberals are too often deceitful, lack integrity and will use whatever means to create perceptions that are in their favor and that will marginalize opposing opinions.
That being the case, I like to have my facts so I can demonstrate those attempts.
Seems a bit odd?...Really?...You state,
"I saw XEA asking people to calm down. Is that not a warning?"That implies that I did not heed a warning and posted something that was wrong in some unspecified way.
Since I have copies of my posts, I can see what I actually said so please state your case and be specific about what I posted that was out of line.
I'm not holding my breath.
With regard to White, Xea989, Chris Johnson and Grandpa Redwood stating there were warnings.
I saw this -->"I think the admin is right in that we won't know what to do unless we are in the situation where we need one."
But I did not see this-->"The topic creator as well as other members have requested that this thread be locked. Consider this a warning"
I can't prove it now, but I am quite confident that I would have noticed that warning and would have commented.
If I overlooked it then I apologize for not noticing it, but I am nearly certain it was not there when I read that post.
That said, I did not violate any rules that I am aware of and I welcome anyone to explain what rules I broke.
I did see another post by Xea989 that included indirectly asking people to refrain from calling others murderers.
I mentioned murderers in my sarcastic post, but I did not refer to abortion as murder as other members did, to include Christina, and I did not refer to women generally or any member as a murderer.
Again, for the record, despite what is said above by Grandpa Redwood, Chris Johnson and Xea989 that implies that I broke some rule or ignored some warning, I did not use profanity, I did not call names and I did not post any insults about anyone.
Ber did claim that she was insulted about my use of the word '
legacy' in relation to her and had the false impression that I was accusing her of being narcissistic.
Was that the insult?
If so...I mean really...Give me a break.
I was PMed my posts [Thank You!] so if anyone wants to review them to point out where the insults are you are free to do so.
Just let me know.
The fact is that I was the one being subjected to profanity, name-calling and insults by Ber.
Anyone who actually read the thread knows this was the case.
And to those who read the thread and are now misrepresenting it...You are what you are...Others may not know it, but you and I do.
Now, with regard to the talking down to me by AbbyBaby and Cheap Trixie...
Until you take the time to find the few locked threads that exist on this forum since I joined (there are not that many, just look for the little lock icon) and review the supposed reasons for their being locked compared to what was actually posted in them, I consider your
'there, there, little paranoid man' B.S. nothing but an attempt to impugn me.
Don't ask me to pretend that I'm delusional about what has actually happened.
The truth is more important than image to me so don't expect that I'll be kowed into not stating the facts because doing so might make me look even more petty or whatever.
The facts are what they are and I'd be happy to run them down for you, though I suspect you don't really care.
I'm not a bad person, I'm not an unreasonable person and I'm not a stupid person, but I am informed, intellectually precise and incredibly tenacious about the truth and holding people who purposefully seek to mislead and impugn others accountable.
People who are genuine do their best to be informed and consistent, have no issue being wrong and welcome fact-based exchanges of opinion.
Online personas mean nothing to me...Support your assertions and positions by presenting the facts in the same way that I am willing to support mine.
I had no issue with Ber, I actually liked her before the thread in question, I was simply stating my positions and addressing her points.
As someone commented, less the insults by Ber, we were actually engaging in a substantive exchange and debate.
) because, as I said in my first post here, I do not want my positions and words to be misrepresented like what is taking place in this thread.
