Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thistles" data-source="post: 56267" data-attributes="member: 3949">The only one I see upset here is you.You're sure getting worked up when I withhold approval. I haven't been around long, but you manage to work your AB hatred into so many different threads, whether it's relevant or not. Yeah, I think it's pathetic to seize any excuse to rant about a forum you could just avoid. Why talk about it at all? I realize it fits in this particular thread, but it doesn't in many. Relax.I state my opinion as my opinion. That's all it is. As I said before, I call things as I see them. What else can I do? Sooo AB sucks because there are people who drive others away. What is it you're doing here? Only people who agree with you should post here?Yeah, I'm sooo protective of AB. I just can't stand to see anyone say anything negative about it. Oh wait... Oh, ok. Profanity- and insult-laced personal attacks aren't talking down, but an attempt to represent another side of an argument is. Gotcha. Again, I myself criticized some members of AB. Now a criticism of you personally is an attack on everyone who doesn't like AB. How is my logic faulty? Bye bye =)Communication is a two-way street. If you are determined to misunderstand me, there is only so much I can do to prevent it. I must submit myself to the judgement of my readers. Everyone will make up his or her own mind about whether I and my points are rational or not. In my own defense, I think I have done a reasonable (although not perfect) job of clarifying and remaining fair. I've been neither a sycophant nor irrationally hostile in my appraisals of any people or platforms here.I have asked on several occasions for suggestions from you, [USER=4086]@MassExodus[/USER]. None have been forthcoming. I must say, you seem to be arguing with a mirror rather than with me. *passive-aggressive disclaimer* All of the above is the personal opinion of the author, as evidenced by her screen name next to the post.
