My point was that I had said the same thing. But automatically I was the bad guy because I decided to post something last nite that apparently people took the wrong way and instantly lumped me in the bag of a bigot (and to me bigot and woman hater have always been linked based off life experiences so of course someone starts lumping me in the bigot category with one post of "evidence" Im going to get upset. )
Avoiding my view point to defend what MB says doesnt seem like taking sides? At least say whats wrong or right with my viewpoint if you're going to not take sides. Thats what truly neutral people do.
I didn't avoid your point of view, you've not stated a clear point of view to be avoided... On the one hand you go to great lengths to tell us how you need to vet women, because of your experiences with two, but then you're called on it and you suddenly vet everyone regardless of gender.
Was the point I'm apparently avoiding the point that you can't articulate yourself properly, expect people to be mind readers and get all bent out of shape when people don't assume you to believe things you've not told them about?
If that's the case, then yes, I totally avoided it... Felt a little like poking a sick dog with sticks!
Vilifying me as a taskmaster, real clever.
I can't make jokes but you can.
Me making jokes equates to me being a bigot (and not a woman hater, but like I said they've been linked in my experience)
I didn't vilify you as anything, I took the general tone of the thread and made light of it. It happens to be a very common method used for calming somewhat volatile discussions.
Further, I didn't say you couldn't make jokes, or that doing so would make you a bigot (or add to your bigot status, depending on the point of view of whom ever happens to be reading this)
By her own admission she hasn't made any comments about my view point, so theres a logical fallacy in your argument Hilaire.
You're right, love him as I do, this once, poor Hilly is incorrect!
Now I would say that it would probly help if we all took a chill pill and stepped away for a second (advice Im going to follow) but I expect based off previous comments that there will be more jokes so Im not holding my breath expecting anything.
Sorry, I don't play that game.
You can't go putting words in my mouth, then suggest we all walk away to calm down. That method has been tried time and time again, and it only serves to show your inability to coherently articulate yourself.
