”This is a perfect example.”

Yes I agree.

You have validated the term “piling on.” Why? It is a negative term that is personal and characterizes the conduct or attitude of the poster. And so, by your usual yard stick this could be categorized as “personal attack” behavior.

Rambi validated the term “buttinski.” Same as above.

I used the phrase “did not show any intelligence regarding the issues”… which is not a personal insult about her IQ. It is a statement that is qualified by “regarding the issues.” Has Rambi studied the issues? It does not appear so. Isn’t that what we usually attribute to comments that are “intelligent with regard to a specific issue?” Having done so would probably lead to Has she followed the rational for me labeling you as living a sheltered life and why I consider your comment ironic. No. Has she done what I said she did … arrive to offer some warm cocoa to her friend on request. Most likely, that explains it.

And so it is, as you say a perfect example. I have confronted the issue and accurately identified thread conduct that was troubling to me. I confronted the issues directly.

Yes. I am apt to do this, especially when the conduct of the participants is seriously out of whack in regards to the topical issue.

And so, you have done what you are prone to do. You have made the most of it in your ax grinding efforts. Great opportunity for you and you exploited it. Very utilitarian of you.

Now, quite a bit of flaming nonsense has been spewed toward me. It has been filthy, unqualified, and disgusting. Didn’t show up on YOUR radar … Of course you have already explained your reasons for dismissing it. However, I figure it simply would not benefit you in anyway to do so.
