(24,979 posts)You are stating your point of view. In words. In an argument. That I disagree with. Which is fine. I've seen already that you have your hard-earned convictions and you strive to express them thoughtfully and in a spirit of discourse. You are not out to "win." You are not letting a graphic depiction of shit or a mindless resort to ridicule speak for you, (although you should find it beneath you to defend that, if that's what you are doing). You are not piling on or echoing or cheerleading as a substitute for thought. You are not one of the usual suspects who runs in only to pile on. Of your post, I think only that it is mistaken, not that it is illustrative of the sophistry syndrome I've been describing here with Ms. Sense as the example. I think you might be mistaken because you haven't paid much attention to the M.O. of Ms. Sense on this forum. You might come to a different conclusion if you review her work more closely. Even if you don't, however, and if you maintain your conclusion about me, with you one nevertheless gets the sense that changes of mind are possible, that you don't always know exactly what you think before you've even thought it. You do not give me the sense, like Ms. Sense always does, that your writings here are entirely instrumental in the service of a chosen crusade with the intent to always play it like a vendetta until those who disagree with you convert or are banned.
