I guess its in the eye of the beholder.

You demand that I admit I was wrong about Malkin, because she updated her post to include a statement about the perpetrator.

I think the fact that the bulk of her post said nothing about the perpetrator and was all about what she cited as a Muslim threat to Norway (which had absolutely nothing to do with this horrific act) did nothing to change my opinion about her post and, in fact, supported my position.

I've seen that trick before from you. Only taking or twisting the facts that suit your demand.

But we do agree on Malkin.

Why can't you understand why deleting her original post would be the height of dishonesty? She jumped to the same conclusion that most of the world did, then updated it with the correct information when it became available. That's how it should be done, not removing the original post.

I've taken your statement and shredded it in front of you.

The honorable thing would have been to take the statement out back of the barn and put it out of its misery. Instead, it's given the above final defense, perhaps the lamest end of all, and hung out on the line for the whole neighborhood to look at.

Along with an assembly of attacks on me which had nothing to do with it, which you just couldn't avoid -- even after I warned you about changing the subject to me.

This urge to bullshit, this urge to label and wage war, and to disrespect other people's opinions; it's not smart, it's just basically bad behavior. And where are you now for it? You've ruined another thread flinging turds in every direction.

What I did was respond to Aliantha's post with my opinion.

You jumped all over my ass, disrespecting my opionion, and I responded.

And that ruined the thread.

It's all me and not you at all.

*shrug* If you say so.
