Back to the original point Azelma, Tehra and I have noted: your intent was never to talk or have a discussion, this is evidenced by your 'if you disagree you're stupid' comment in your original post. Before you rationalize your poor choice of wording, or try to make it my fault for 'crying' or 'being offended' (neither of which I am) you may wish to consider the merit in my argument. No one disagrees the status quo is unacceptable, at least I don't..but you ended any potential for a civilized discussion before the first response to your original post had even taken place.
No, actually it isn't. The entire point of that remark is that it is NOT my opinion but literal fact. The remark is the import of what I linked. There is a difference between taking someone's word for their subjective interpretation of a complex situation and refusing to accept hard proof of that interpretation.
Contrary to your BS here and previously to the contrary, you strapped on your White Knight gear and decided to get offended where no offense was intended. You behaved like a child, and like a child you tried to pass responsibility for your actions onto others.
You bombed a thread based on your own small reaction to half a sentence of a post consisting of several sentences and a link to several pages of fact. This was unnecessary, and it was uncalled for. If you didn't like it, you should have just said you objected to the phrasing or something. Or walked away.
All serious discussion is based on the presumption of good faith. "Good faith" was broken by you and ONLY you. Your insistence after 10 pages and unequivocal assurances from me who has a history of nothing but honesty that I had some insidious motive for creating the thread is totally irrational.
The proof that your reaction was without basis in anything but your own personal insecurity is that I hardly seem pleased with what has come of the thread. That is the "headshot" to your claims.
Even if your claims weren't baseless, which they are, I would ask what makes you think it is for you to get offended on behalf of others or to start a fight just because you think someone else is making a fight inevitable. Either you're wrong, and you started the fight, or you're right, and you failed to prevent it. At best you accomplish nothing and at worst you are purely destructive. So why do it?
