"She went ballistic about her right to post when and where she pleases. She embarrassed her self so badly that she hasn't been back to SMBR since" Well, the letter "X" does have a right to post. If I remember correctly, you were using the technique of "closing the door" in order to carry the day in whatever the Hell was being argued about. In my opinion, one ought to see it through to the end before engaging such housekeeping issues. Such "tricks" should not carry any weight in the middle of a disputation. What were you arguing about anyway?

You probably shouldn't project your opinion of internal states onto other people's ACTUAL internal mental states. The truth is we don't really know anyone's internal motivations here on SI (yours or anyone else), and we can only conjecture about them. I can tell you that X can't waste time having pointless discussions( certainly not as much as in the past) and that the internal state motivating her absence is different than you stated. It is rather foolish to go onto a public venue dedicated to "boxing" and whine that people are "boxing" with you.. Go someplace warm and fuzzy if you want to avoid conflict. Since you normally don't post here, and are talking about other people who aren't blind, it looks provocative on your part and disingenuous. Note I didn't say you are provocative and disingenuous, just that it looks that way. Only you could know your motivation behind your behavior, but even then, you may not.

I haven't been back to SMBR because it disgusts me. Not because of you. I am amazed you could think I was embarrassed. I am embarrassed FOR you, that you feel obvious pride in stating something so clearly wrong. I know you are a very sensitive individual about your own feelings of self worth, but have almost no ability to understand anyone else. You are very very mistaken about what you understand about this entire situation. I don't think you are ever going to be able to sort it out. That doesn't mean I'll let your lies stand though. I'm just not that kind of X.

Hello Jewel, I've been offline for most of the day and just caught up on this thread. I remember your telling X not to post to you months ago. I also remember her telling you she would post to whom and where she wanted, regardless of your wishes. So your memory is not faulty in that regard. I am a little surprised to see cosmic telling you to put her on ignore, as I don't remember him suggesting that anyone else ever do this. Certainly, your putting her on ignore will not stop her carping at you and about you, as I found out myself this summer. Perhaps cosmic and X can get their acts together and his requests to you to ignore her will be accompanied by her ceasing to post things like this to you in the same time period: I know you are a very sensitive individual about your own feelings of self worth, but have almost no ability to understand anyone else. But until that happens, I think putting her on ignore will not serve you well. As far as I'm concerned, discussion with you is never a waste of my time. I hope you continue to post here, the SMBR, and wherever else you please.
