But you saw the part where he said that the either/or between seriously making the claim and just being pissy that Jerky suggested was a false dichotomy and explained what he meant, right?


This bolded part right here:

False dicotomy. I am saying the poll is illegitimate, meaningless, and subverts the forum. I don't care if Canadian_watcher comes back or not, frankly, because I know she'll just act up again, and probably end up banned.

Gut wrenching for what it means for the board. This was a bad move. Sorry guys. It just was. This is purely on principle not on non existent personal feelings.

Yeah.

No. I just completely misunderstood it. (Thought you meant that you couldn't believe it had been said.)

Sorry. I could/should have seen that wasn't the only way to read it.

I'm beginning to wonder if interpersonal conflict feels safer and more compelling than what's going on in the world, sort of like our own little incestuous version of celebrity media.

That's a good explanation for this - I was wondering why I seem to be interested in this thread when I did not even know her and wondered why this thread is so popular, in general, instead of something really important.

Interpreting this charitably, yes.

No one here need ever reveal the slightest self doubt. No one here need ever give even an inch or express the teensiest honest self reflection, ever.

But guess what. If they did, my hardened heart would instantly start melting. I'm a sucker for that.

Think about it. Ask yourself which members regularly question their own assumptions, regularly publicly air their own misgivings, regularly apologize and admit error without reservation, regularly feel secure enough to open up and reveal their own weakness, vanity, humanity? Regularly offer opportunities to let go of the past and begin anew?

Who are those members? Those are my friends here. I love them as much as one can love someone they have never met.


Why don't you lay out why you hate me so much and then maybe we can get over this feud and put it behind us? Because I would like to do that but I have no idea what your problem is with me...I have an idea but really not quite sure...you know like "feel secure enough to open up and reveal their own weakness, vanity, humanity? Regularly offer opportunities to let go of the past and begin anew?" I will if you will....I believe there are only 3 or 4 people here that have a big problem with me and maybe if you laid it out on the table we could get over it.

@slad,

Hate is way too strong a word. I'm not sure I actually hate anybody.

If you're serious I would be willing to have a dialog via pm. Maybe something good can come of all this.

If we learned one thing from this ridiculous thread, it;'s the obvious fact that the mods were bald-faced LYING about having any "regrets" about perma-banning Canadian Watcher.

Sanctimonious, hypocritical assholes.

But not all of them. Only MOST of them. So this isn't a personal attack, and therefore I am following the rules.

See how that works?

Come now, my old pal, it's entirely possible to regret a decision yet know in your heart it was the right thing to do. Alternatively, their regret may be that the actions of Canadian_watcher forced them to do something they would rather have not.

You are being entirely uncharitable.

Has banning C_W been an invitation to some people to go ahead and behave like her?
