Well, you can easily check the trail of posts as you have done in the past. However, in summary, Poet suggested that persons from the RWET had suddenly gotten very busy on this thread since flapjack left the RWET thread and that it must be in search of needed "enemies." While she and her ilk have such nice discussions when the RWET types are not around. Several people pointed out that she was mistaken about the activity movement. I personally encouraged her in saying all of us could learn a lesson from the way Kholt (leftie) and Neocon (rightie) had been able to carry on in this forum. In addition I told her I felt that the mix had a better opertunity for productive discussions when people could relax "in the eye of the hurricane." She persisted in the accusation. In addition she pointed to me personally saying this is my "habit" and wanted an explanation. The fact is that I had not been posting on the RWET during the time flapjack was a resident there and had been primarily posting here over the last few months. The other fact is she showed up here at the time she is pointing to and began posting prolifically, so her accusation is a little assbackward. I prompted her several times to reconsider her pointed and personal accusation at which she began complaining of victimhood. You know me much better than poet, You, have been the subject of many heated discussions among right wingers. You know that I was around this over the past couple of years. Can you say that I have ever joined in on an attack against you? No. When poet persisted with this false accusation, insisting on an explanation and claiming that she is a victim; I had to call BS. I can tell a set up when I see it. There was no sincere question, only an accusation designed to provoke. If it leads anywhere then the leftwing tag team jumps all over it. If not then we get the "what you said reveals something (who knows what) about you" crap. You don't like right wing macho stuff, neither do I. I also don't like the left wing intimidation stuff. If there is true blackmail going on then I hate the asswhole responsible. However, from what I've seen here, I have my doubts. Poet is quick to point the accusing finger and slow to qualify it. I would be more inclined to suspect poet of playing victim for some calculated advantage more than I would believe the reverse. That is, without evidence, which I haven't seen. Does it bother you that I have RWET buddies? I have never called them that but you have mentioned it several times.
