A new "In Crowd"

Well, if you're not misogynistic, then why worry about it?

The question of whether I am misogynistic has been deliberately inserted into this chatter by Suzianne. I am not "worried" about it. One could ask you, if you are not worried about whether or not I'm misogynistic, why are you concerned enough to interject into a conversation where other people are talking about it.

So you think I'm a coward with no discernible principles?

josephw, I have been absolutely candid and measured with you for years. Don't pretend that my views on your inability or unwillingness to take responsibility for the things you blurt out thoughtlessly (or sometimes to admit that you even said them at all) is something that I have ever sought to disguise. 😉

Sir,
Let me explain the way things work in the General forum. People jump in anytime they want, doesn't really matter if it was directed to them or not. Kind of like Dive does for you from time to time. 😉 Like I am doing myself right now, nothing wrong in it. Just the way it is. Was a good time to flip the page anyways.

Kindest Regards,
Hope you are enjoying your evening,
Sincerely,

And yet you were trying to squeeze some comedy mileage out of me jumping in earlier on this thread to address soimething not directed at me. Haven't you got any other banter riffs aside from your own lumbering hypocrisy? 😛

This waffle from you would suggest I hit a nail on its head. 😛

Sir,
That is simply amazing!!!! Did you miss hitting your thumb while you were hitting the nail on its head. 😛 You haven't answered yet how your evening is going? Are you enjoying it? Is everything all ok with you?

Kindest Regards,

Well of course I take full responsibility for the things I say. I just don't take responsibility for the way you manipulate, misrepresent and obfuscate the things I say.

Now I know you give the appearance of being "candid and measured", but in reality you ARE candid and measured in how you so cleverly twist every topic and subject around and around and around until there's nothing left of a thread worth posting in.

Thing is FMF, it doesn't appear you realize you're doing it, and that's the real zinger about you. But in real life I'm sure I'd like you just the same. I think in person you're probably not a bad guy.

It ain't my fault you're taking so much flak around here. Mostly, probably, because you're unbending and fail to just let folks say what they think and accept it for what it is, but no, you have to belabor every detail with endless questions that only serve to derail the discussion about whatever's being talked about.

Now what you'll do next, instead of pondering for a few minutes any possible validity to what I just said, is comeback with some sort of rebuttal designed to mislead me into thinking I don't know what I'm talking about just so you don't have to go on the defensive.

This thread really sucks, and do you know where it all started? Back on the first page when you just had to try and dispel the idea that GB had been bullied in these forums by a number of individuals for years. We were all here to see it, yet you, by default, defended those who did it by minimizing the assault on our senses of some of the most brutal verbiage I have ever seen in a public place.

The difference between the kind of insults given to GB and the insults directed by others against each other lies in the fact that Grampy Bobby didn't deserve it. All the BS about him notwithstanding.

End of story. 😉

Nonsense. This is you applying your spin to the fact that I get straight to the heart of things and hone in on the exact meaning of what people say. That's why prideful purveyors of half-baked-blurts, like yourself and Suzianne, get so bent out of shape and abusive all the time.

There's flak and there's flak. Why would I be worried about taking flak from the likes of you, Very Rusty, Seitse, Suzianne or robbie carrobie?

I posted twice on page 1. Which of them are you referring to?

Well I condemned what was said about Grampy Bobby's deceased wife [did you?] and I condemned all the stuff where it was suggested that Grampy Bobby was a pedophile [did you?], I condemned it when it was suggested that he was mentally ill [did you?] If you, like me, condemned these things, then good for you. I don't see how I have "defended" anything untoward.

Other stuff that you claim was "the most brutal verbiage ever seen in a public place" was probably deleted or I didn't see it. What more do you want from me?

Abusive? I'm trying to help you. 😉

I'm not bent out of shape at all. I thought my post was direct and objective, commenting on the matter being discussed in this thread in a quite and calm manner. I can't help it if you read it wrong.

You don't think Suzianne gets a bit verbally abusive sometimes? And haven't you admitted that you do too sometimes and that you regret it?

Dang that's a good question.

Sorry for backing you against the wall.

I never saw those things that were said that you listed when they happened. Truly reprehensible. But I did see a continuous onslaught against GB in virtually every thread he started or posted in by many in some very rude and crass ways for the last couple of years. They were quite insulting.
