Actually, you made it completely personal, and used rhetorical attacks. You completely glossed over what my initial post was. If someone is going to post inflammatory attacks, expect people to call them on it. I just did.

Interesting, please tell me more about the internet. But perhaps tell me less about what you think about me in an argument.

I'd suggest you just ditch the "woe is me", I'm offended at how you guys are saying stuff" routine and stick to just reading responses and responding to the content, not how you perceive insults.

Perhaps call people out for when they are basically making things up about another poster, and go after what they actually wrote. Keep in mind that you have now spent several paragraphs on me, while telling me how vulnerable I am. If you can find anything that supports your point of view about me, post away. Otherwise, it is nonsense.

I mean right now, you're not even going on about you being insulted, you picked another poster and are getting offended and defensive on their behalf. Meanwhile that poster's probably been back to the thread, read our responses and probably thought nothing of it other than those people think differently than I do, and now he's probably out drinking beers while you defend him here.

I will make this very clear for you: Original post made, several responses were made that did not accurately reflect the post they were complaining about. Instead, you made it about me. READ.

Try reading or posting on a skeptic website. Posts (like the ones I called out) would probably get deleted for simply either misquoting or rhetoric. Read what Hevishot wrote, the responses were off.
