At least you can admit you're bringing a lot of baggage to CP.

If you had any of the empathy, respect, or forgiveness for people like your son that you pretend to have, you wouldn’t act the way you do and say the things you say. You can make any excuse you’d like, but you’ve spent the entire thread insisting that we must be tolerant of Reimer and views like him, and when faced with the definition you posted, you can’t give any example of him being anything less than tolerated.
You’ve admitted to trolling and coming here for a laugh. That’s not consistent with the person you say you are. You are right that I don’t know you, but I know the person you’ve presented yourself to be for the last several years. That’s enough.

For the most part I've only mocked and disrespected you. Fairly, I might add. You don't know my child, you don't even think he exists. But you're happy to use him as a kludge to batter me. I'll take responsibility for sharing a personal detail about myself. I probably shouldn't have done that considering the company I am in. But your conduct here is both gross and anti-social, hopefully you can learn this is inappropriate and not a good look. Once again, you'll probably say I'm playing the victim here, that's fine. Or maybe, for a change, you'll recognize that you're assigning to me a lot more than is really there and tone it down.
You say the "person you've presented yourself to be", but when you look at the threads where we've butt heads, I've for the most part given a consistent viewpoint. Whether it is opposing rage culture against a person that did despicable acts of bullying as a child or opposing Trudeau's overreach during the convoy. I think the arguments I've made here are very much in line with previous positions. Sure I can make mocking tongue-in-cheek comments from time to time. It is hard not to in the face of a chorus of "you racist/bigot/homophobe". But I think generally I have been civil on CP. And when I haven't, I've made it a point to apologize. I am not looking to make enemies. Obviously I have failed with you. Such is life.
