168. I'm one of those people, and I posted your own words, not to make a point about Sanders

Fri Sep 11, 2015, 11:48 PM

Sep 2015

...but about you. You're inveighing very heavily against Sanders and his supporters, and you're foursquare behind Hillary Clinton. But the last time around, you were vehemently calling her a liar. You have every right to change your mind, of course. But my purpose was to let others know that you say lots of things that are completely malleable. This serves to let people know that your attacks on Sanders and your full-throated defense of Clinton really needn't be items of concern. And that, Cha, is a political discussion, which is the reason this forum exists.

Own your words; don't run away from them. Don't try to turn this or similar situations into ridiculous accusations of stalking, not when the site provides a customized Google search of this site's archives in the top right corner of every page. You said the words. Now you say opposite words. That's no crime, but don't act surprised when people remember and bring it up.
