I would rather you stayed.
What a mistake that was.

Yes I agree but not everything is an attack, and you had no reason to think his words were anything but kindness.
Whose words?


@mike69 said
You absolutely have, I don’t owe you anything, get back to reality.
Citations, please.


@mike69 said
I don’t like your actions but I do wish you happiness through growth…
So what?


@MartinS

I'll admit I am slow-witted at times, therefore my regret that I didn't think of this earlier: maybe we could ask Russ to jettison the Debates Forum (and maybe even the Spirituality Forum) altogether. It's not as if there are no other venues for such discussions.


It's time this thread was allowed to die humanely of neglect. Please, both of you, move on.

It's not as if MartinS and I have been going at each other.

Couldn't you have stepped in a little earlier?

I only wanted to make a point; I cannot believe how it has escalated
Not your fault, Martin. Some people just have an itch they cannot scratch anywhere else, so they scratch it here.

Why are you challenging me now?

All the forums are sinking just like the clan system. If you take a small handful of posters out of each topic there is no one left, so it’s easy to see the why especially when the forums are advertised as a large part of the site. I’ve never seen the person you mention use foul language, funny you look over Sonhouse, king David, and Sue to mention a few who do it non stop. If this person was liberal he would be just fine in your eyes🙄.
Just because I did not provide a complete list of all offenders, does not mean I approve of those I did not mention. It's nothing to do with who's liberal.

I'm calling out microaggression here. It's just as intolerable as the more blatant name calling, foul language, and auto-mod-evasions everyone objects to.

A recent example of microaggression: one poster at Debates challenged me to provide evidence of Trump sending people to detention camps, and I linked to the Whitehouse.gov web site where Trump authorizes that people be sent to gitmo. Q.E.D. He who called me "Ree Tar Did" has been added to my DNR list. Such childish taunts should have been outgrown on the schoolyard playground.

You don't see me talking down to people in that tone. The most derogatory thing I said about anyone here was that he was "schismatic", and that was to make a point about British vs. No. American pronunciation.

I agree that both Clans and the Forums have gone downhill. The days when we had really intelligent and articulate posters, such as twhitehead and Paul Leggett, are gone.

Look who's talking.

The only reason why you haven't been banned yet is because you bought a sub.

And don't think we haven't noticed your "rusty strategy of sucking up"

We should have a clock on you because...

Let's be real...it's only a matter of time for you.
I've almost had enough of your hot air Kevin or what ever the hell you name is.

Who do you think I am sucking up to??? I've had disagreement's with pretty much everyone on the site including the Owner of the Site!!!

Because people disagree doesn't actually mean they don't like each other, just a difference of opinion. Some keep it to themselves, others like myself do not.
