In reply to the discussion: To clarify...when I posted the clip of the song "The Party Is Always Right"... [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)89. See? Exaggerating again. (Please stop.)
84. OK...what do you THINK I'm doing? What horrible agenda do you believe I have?
I've said nothing of the sort. I've commented on the exaggerations and the overreactions... I've criticized the non-apology-apology, and that's all. I've never, NEVER, accused you of having any sort of "horrible agenda".
I have no idea what you suspect me of, or what you think you need to stop me "getting away with".
Well, "suspect" is certainly an odd way of describing it. But I think it's fair to say that people are noticing things they'd describe as anti-social (not my words, just things I've seen) or irrationally aggressive (again, not my words, I'm just telling you what I've heard... and only because you asked.)
And then there are the exaggerations. Others have noted the hypersensitivity and overreactions about insignificant and harmless things. (The "hi" emoji thing comes to mind... that was just silly, don't you agree?)
All I'm saying is that my comments and suggestions (and criticisms) have been rather tame and friendly (and I hope, helpful)... yet you take such great offense. While others (in this very thread) have been much more direct and blunt in the things they've said... yet you say nothing to them in response. Why is it that my gentle and kind words are so offensive to you? Why are my posts the only ones that you have a problem with?
All I know is that we supported different presidential candidates in the primaries (after which, I wholeheartedly supported the nominee0.
Well, that's nice, but it really has nothing to do with the price of tea in China... or anything that we've been discussing in this thread. Fact is: I never said anything about that, did I? So why are you bringing that up?
For once, just once, say directly what you believe I'm guilty of.
I don't know how I could be any more direct than I've already been. I've been nothing but honest and straightforward with you every time we've interacted, and you know this is the truth.
Just say it-because I truly don't know what it is that you feel you have to follow me from thread to thread derailing.
Nobody is following you from thread to thread. We're obviously interested in the same subjects and we often cross paths in the forums we visit, and on the threads we participate in.
We both play here. You can't bully me and try to drive me away from this site by constantly (and falsely) accusing me of "stalking" you or "following" you from "thread to thread".

Apology taken, but I'd feel better if I knew you understood WHY it was so inappropriate.

The original wasn't a real apology. It was making excuses and blaming others...

What was the context? I think the way people argue here about not criticizing dems IS problematic.
