That is CR's take on my behavior. Thanks to the poster who PM'd me the post containing the end of the discussion, at least the end of my participation in it:

You know, Neocon, that disagreement can be felt to be harassment by some people, even if all that is happening to them is that the arguments that upset them are in reply to their arguments posted to her. The posts that follow the ouster are interesting and telling. Palpable relief.

"Harassment" was not charged. "Lecturing" was. "Hypocrite," JLA's standard epithet, was. Not understanding that the concept was humorous was. Condescension was.

It is a simple situation: My arguments made them uncomfortable, so they silenced me, in the middle of the discussion, and continued to bash me.

If you don't approve of that, you disapprove of what they did.

I wouldn't do it, CH wouldn't do it, CR wouldn't do it, JLA would, it's as simple as that.

CR got it just right, I thank him:
