"It actually should not matter what someone posts about you if you feel that they have no credibility" It does matter, vds4. That is why we have the terms of use. So you are starting with a faulty premise, which is probably why your post seems to be unaware of the significance of what has happened. I was drawn to the thread a while back when someone alerted me that they were mocking me behind my back after copying one of my posts from another thread. I did not know any of these buddy boys prior to that. I simply came over to defend myself face to face. Later, other insults were directed at me. I generally try to disengage from small minded insults from small minded people, but I make it clear that so long as I keep finding dirt in my inbox, I will respond to it: Fairly human and natural response I would say. Now, these little buddies get bested in a bit of verbal fencing, so what does ID do? First he bans me, and then he starts to make gratuitous insults of the most ugly and hurtful kind he can think up. He implies that I like 7 year old boys; Indeed, he states it. In other words, that I engage in pedophilia and child molestation. Of course, he has chosen something which we all abhor--something that any decent human being would be offended at, and would deny, if they were able. To add to this, he wonders why I do not defend myself, and considers out loud that I have just wimped out. Of course, when a person will not defend themselves against such ugly allegations, then perhaps there is some sort of unspoken admissal as to truth?? But what was the truth, vds4? The truth was that I was not defending against these personal attacks which violate the terms of use...because he had prevented me from posting and defending myself. Thus he was staging a one act show with his play pals, and assassinating my character. I did not defend myself because I COULD NOT defend myself. You obviously believe that such allegations and such ugly misrepresentation should go unchallenged and that I am being entirely unreasonable for taking offense. You seem to believe, as well, that your personal opposition to some of my beliefs (to which you make oblique reference) ought to disqualify me from a common respect and a right to defend. Well, thank you for your contribution to the matter. Have a really good day, vds4--there is "money to be made..."
