...."I used to post in a similar manner to you"

First I disagree with that. I contend you continue to attack,
demean & ridicule other people. The fact that you refrain
from asserting that (insert name here) is (insert personal
attack here) changes nothing.

I've noted that you now reply to their post (or indirectly to
someone else) & discuss something they've said then attack,
ridicule & demean them with broad brush statements - 'anyone
who thinks like that is'
(insert personal attack here). That
is but one of your "nuanced" ways of the same old same old X.

Spin or deny all you want. That's what you do.

Second, you DO NOT "post in a similar manner to" me.

How & why we talk about other people could not be more
different. I don't hide or deny what I am doing or why I do
it. You steadfastly deny you still do it, albeit you do a
decent job of hiding it with nuance, doublespeak,
wordsmithing & obfuscation.

Unlike you, I do not deal in perceptions & feelings when I
make assertions about others. Unlike you, I do not make
unsubstantiated assertions stated as fact. Unlike you, I
don't employ sweeping generalizations as a means to attack &
ridicule. Unlike you, I don't attack others because I don't
like their politics or religious beliefs or because I think
they are stupid & unworthy of expressing POV's that aren't in
complete lockstep with mine.

I do talk about people who express reality defying POV's,
make hypocritical statements or lie, deceive or make false,
misleading assertions, or deal in inappropriate or boorish
behavior. (These are the main reasons I will talk about other
people - that's a fact).

If I claim someone lied, misled, etc., I quote them verbatim
& in context, then provide credible evidence that clearly
establishes that my assertion is accurate.

If I allege hypocrisy, you can rest assured that I can link
you directly to prime examples of it if I haven't done so
already.

Notice how you said my bans were based on your baseless,
unsubstantiated opinion of my horrific behavior. You were
dead wrong, yet that baseless opinion of yours allowed you to
attack, demean & ridicule me repeatedly. And somehow you
don't consider your repeated, baseless & unsubstantiated
personal attacks about me to be personal or attacks.

So feel free to misperceive these undeniable facts all you
wish. It won't change what happens right here in the real
world.
