Grainne is what Jewel says true?

"Grainne grannie grainne…tsk

”You didn't reveal any of my character flaws, and my logic is spot on. You revealed that you can not follow simple rules of decorum."

I didn’t “reveal” anything. You missed the point. You revealed your own issues. I simply challenged your integrity.

1) I was testing your proclamation to be a fair and just moderator interested only in friendly chats and civil discussion of ideas.

When you angrily objected to any implication that were in cahoots with X, I tested it and you revealed far more than simply having similar views as X, you ran interference for her without ever missing a drum beat no matter what the issues were or where she stood. You did the same thing for other thread members always on a pro-liberal anti-conservative mission.

Several people tried to clue you in on the fact that when a thread head does this the thread becomes an echo chamber of the thread heads perceptions and opinions. You may think that is a good thing.

When engaging in discussion of ideas, I challenged the presumption underlying your idea, as in ‘animal rights’. I proposed an alternative view of how animal rights could be determined. Rather than discuss the merits of each, compare/contrast and honestly explore the discussion topic; you became unglued and retreated into your comfortable self-image of one who ‘admonishes’ naughtiness and threatens banishment when faced with opposition. Where in reality, you could not have a discussion where your thread monitor status did not give you one upmanship status and the confidence that all would be right in your world as long as no one could show you other wise.

When all else failed you became the language police of thread decorum:

“Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking to them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character.” Jaroslav Havek)

2) I also challenged your corrupted self-image as authoritarian of the thread, which I view as a corruption of the notion of thread monitor. The story I told you about the mother having tea while her children played, was about you. If you view yourself as handling a thread as the adult in charge you are clueless. Each time you threatened to ban me I escalated the annoying provocations toward you. You complained that you had threatened to ban me 20 some times in a 1 or 2 day period. Re-read that story.

The corrupted view of authoritarian is one who by the implication of their role feels free to make ignominous reference to individuals or groups of people, by implication looks down upon them while vilifying their struggles in life, as you do with perfidious ubiquity.

You could be a better person. Most of the people you banned were hoping that you would be … the bannings are clearly representations of not only what you hate and who, but your self-hate and denial. Think about that for a second before just labeling it a personal attack.

You reject and hate every cultural icon that would identify you as an American, you hate what your ancestors represent to you. You called them evil for crying out loud. You romanticize every other culture as the good that could be and identify with those romanticized representations. That is not reality sis, and you reveal the hate upon which it is founded not I.

Regarding your logic being spot on… Well it is spot on delivery of liberal gospel. There was nothing of ‘your’ thoughts that I could detect in the mix.

”… you can not follow simple rules of decorum."

Yes, I pushed you hoping that a reasonable and fun thread where we could all hang would result. You are apparently not able to determine for yourself what rules of decorum represent for a community. Hint: It is not simply bowing to authority.

You want compliant conduct from people with views you disagree with ... consider first making some effor at "physician heal thy self." Then you might earn some respect from others you find annoying."
