How did i misrepresent you? I asked you if he had misrepresented me, offering a small sampling of his calumnies, among them that i am a murderer, a terrorist, and was threatening his family. ("You win. Please leave my family alone.") You declined, correct me if I misunderstood, to grant that those three characterizations were misrepresentations of me. I was, and remain, rather flabbergasted by this. These are unusually vile accusations. And in this case, they are easily enough confirmed or disconfirmed, as all the posts took place in a short time. Let's put aside your reluctance to say that calling me a murderer and terrorist is misrepresentation because perhaps he meant I was doing something like "whipping up an anti-Muslim frenzy" (though you saw my numerous posts doing the exact opposite.) Let's just say Okay, possibly it's not a misrepresentation to call me a murderer and terrorist, and see if I can get you to grant that it was a misrepresentation of me for gao seng to imply that i was threatening his family. "You win. Please leave my family alone," he posted. No reference was ever made to his family. I did not know he had a family. I have no idea who gao seng is. I never threatened him or anyone. That sentence appeared out of the blue-- though preceded by the claim that I was a murderer and terrorist and had said online threats were "fair," and "fair play," which absurd contention I have shown never happened. (That absurdity was merely the buildup to the pretense that I had threatened his family.) Neocon, we've skipped past 'murderer' and 'terrorist,' because i see you will not grant those characterizations to be misrepresentations of me. Is it a misrepresentation of me to post "You win. Please leave my family alone."?
