When it went into the plural, however, I was confused and disappointed. It just doesn't seem the way to make a better world. We are all a part of many groups. I don't think the village should be burned down because one person stole a horse, and I did not see the relevance of the venomous continuation. Only one person was responsible for that post...but it seemed like others were being blamed.

my intention was and is not to confuse you. and i guess i am not here to please you or anyone, or make a better world in terms of someone else's opinion of what the world should be. all i can do is be myself and be the best i can be, if that displeases you, well, nothing i can do about that.

not quite accurate as for the part "only one person was responsible for that post". one never knows exactly what goes on behind curtains. no, it is not paranoia, simply follow the trail upthread. i have no idea if you have read the other attacks, and/or how long have you been reading them. to me, it reflects a pattern, and evidently you have not read my posts where i show "planned rides" to the LWP and similar. so in short the evidence is in my favor, at least the way I see it.

my intent is not to argue, i am trying to get away from that. the reason of this response to you is to merely point out that i believe you have a misconception about what all these last few days have been about. we may differ, that's true, but the impression i just described is mine, therefore i responded based on that.

as for group or villages... well, that is your opinion and that's fine, mine is different given both, the real life and virtual experience. specifically in this case, no, it has not been one member, nor one horse.

there has been a repeated pattern. and i am not about to go hunting for the posts that clearly show this.

The bible teaches that Jesus died for the wrongdoings of others. This, to me, is an evil doctrine. If you are religious, and if this is what justifies your post, then we must agree to disagree.

say what ? i can't even begin to see the relevance of you bringing up the bible, jesus and all the "evil" rest. so i have no idea what's behind that part. i am not interested; neither in your explanation, nor in the "read between the lines part"

moi religious ?... hmmm i smell bait here, but as i said, i am not interested. to answer the question, (as if my other posts were not self explanatory). no, i am not, so rest assured, that was NOT my motivation.

i guess, in strange kind of way, we have a point of agreement here, we both think that doctrine is EVIL. so no sense continuing along this line.

I don't condemn a person on the basis of one post. None of us are always, and without fail...superior to the human condition.

in general, i will agree to that. however, in this case, this was NOT the one post. there have been others and i repeat, with a provoking and/or insulting pattern.

I have known Poet for quite awhile. I thought the remark aginst her was tactless in timing, untrue in content, and very ill considered, and certainly unkind. However, I am biased.

well... i have no idea of your bias, but i do find it odd for you to come and express your good faith opinion to me about my "retort" --throwing your judgment on me, as bonus, as part of the good faith, yet never expressed a --direct opinion to-- the person who posted the, (i quote you): "tactless in timing, untrue in content, and very ill considered, and certainly unkind", remark. (at least not in public that i am aware of).

so yes, i am responsible for my "puzzling post" and stand by it, in spite of the confusion and disappointment that it caused you.

all i can say is i expressed what it was on my mind.

I really don't see how or why other people should be deemed without value and indecent, because of the wrongdoing of this particular poster. It was a very puzzling post.

i believe i ask the questions since that is what the people this poster appears to represent, (again, read the history of this event), seem to display as banner when in their ways, question the actions of others. however, i do not believe i expressly stated that "other people had no value nor they were indecent." --certainly this poster demonstrated no values and was indecent in the manner in which he and others have been behaving.--

however, i did express, in general, what i think of the people that this poster seem to represent given the history i have made reference of.

once again, your post seems to originate from my own post exclusively without any consideration given to what has been going on.

if i am mistaken, then i will simply say that we disagree, let's leave it at that since at least, we did agree on the one point about the evil doctrine. let's run with the positive.
