Reply #4: I did NOT intend to create a shitstorm -- I have NEVER intended to create a shitstorm with what I do

I ADMITTED IT?!?!?!?
.
.
Above in my listing of the links, I explained that I had NOT intended to create
a shitstorm.
.
This post was started in The Lounge AFTER the other two, but prior to them getting locked.
I usually stay WAY away from GD because of all the ugliness I see there. I occasionally
dip in with a simple statement or, more often... a strong image. An overwhelming amount
of the responses have been positive. This is the first time anything I've said was pounced
upon like this post was -- and this statement is an expression of my surprise that this had
done so (and expression of delight that I had, not posted flamebait, but had created a buzz --
some of the participants of which were annoying "last-worders", but was mostly interesting).
.

Do you think I was LYING? Are you calling me a liar? Where is this "admission"?

The "shitstorm" post was in The Lounge -- and I did not INTEND to create one
like I said.
.
The evil grin smiley was a facetious laugh-producer -- as we often do in there.
.
Ask someone to show you where I have EVER INTENDED to create a shitstorm.
.
You'll get the opposite answer.
.
Compared to other threads on the topic -- that is one of the LEAST "shitstorm-inducing" posts
on GD about the subject.
.
I think first the mods with their "dupe" reason for the lock -- and then you with that "facetious shitstorm" justification -- took an easy escape hatch out of this.
.
The mods reacted too harshly and too quickly -- there were threads they could have deleted
if there was a problem with that post.
.
I think you know this but are loathe to contradict them.
.
IF that IS the case, shame on you.
.
As much as I had trusted in you and the system before, I am now deeply disappointed in you and
that system and this site right now -- I had BELIEVED (as is STRONGLY evidenced in one of my
NON-facetious posts) in this site and this administration and its due process and its principles.
.
That faith in those principles and this administration has been lost with this action AND
followup. Your response causes me to deeply apologize to those I asked to modify their behavior because of that misplaced trust of mine.
.
My statement to them:
.
BTW, thanks for your concerns...
...as I also am confused and unhappy.
I've been in touch with one of the mods (who was VERY nice) and I've posted
a question to ATA.
I think that's the way to go on this and any discussion HERE (about a SPECIFIC
lock) would probably do more harm than good.
We'll see.

Sound like someone who "intended to create a shitstorm"???????
.
.
.
HELL NO, it doesn't.
.
.
.
To those of you whom I directed that statement -- I am sorry for having done so.
.
.
.
.
.
I am even more sorry for having believed in it myself.
