"I consider you a thin skinned crybaby." Not to long ago X posted a comment to me regarding some opinion that I had expressed. She followed up by simply saying that she did not want to talk to me. I took that to mean she really did not want any type of interaction with me on this thread to follow. I have respected that wish by not posting to her or about her. Today she again posted to me regarding some topic of the day. She made a strong and personally pointed comment. I simply made it known to her that if she doesn't want me to talk to me then I want her to stop posting to me. She made some strong statements that she indeed does not want to talk to me but will freely post at will and at me although not to me. I don't mind someone who presents a strong argument that opposes some opinion that I have. I have changed my stance on several issues as a result of perspectives being presented here that I had not previously considered. That is not the case here, nor is it the case as you have claimed that she won some sort of argument? "...her expert nastiness and you aren't man enough to take it." Interesting, but I am man enough to put a stop to it. I hope you will consider what you have just said for some time before attempting to press this point further. "She did NOT harass you... I politely informed X that I was not available for this kind of... as you put it, "nastiness." I frequent this thread to discuss topics, engage in honest debate, explore issues, or just pass time. I see no reason to accommodate nastiness for the sake of nastiness. When a person asks someone to stop, it means "stop." You do not have to have a reason for wanting them to stop. However, I did qualify my request by telling X that I was annoyed that she felt free to make comments at me while insisting that she would not discuss these comments with me. So I asked her several times to stop posting to me. "Just because you claim harassment and abuse doesn't mean you were harassed and abused." This is a true statement. I looked the term "harassment" up in the Colorado Legal Statutes. An example is given in the text of someone who insists on calling you on the telephone when you have asked them to stop. This only has to happen one time to constitute harassment. I asked X to stop several times. She not only insisted on continuing this but began adding name calling to the action. This is harassment and just because you claim it is not does not make it go away. X did harass me and anyone looking at the string of posts in which she continued to post repeatedly, directly to me, in the presence of my requests for her to stop can see that. There is no attempt on X's part in that string of posts to forward substantial discussion on a topic....and you know it. "thin skinned crybaby" So you joined the attack on my manhood. How dignified of you. We all know the extent you went to to impress upon everyone how you felt about persons who continue to post to someone who has made the "stop posting to me" request. "It was so transparent." The above is your impression of me....hmmmm, and I might add tsk tsk.
