I am not interested in having this conversation with you. This is my thread, and I insist that if you are going to call me anything, it is Grainne. I do not care how Irish you are; it is disrespectful to bungle my name in an insulting way. You are not here to judge me. I don't judge other people or chase them around and dissect each of their posts, and you shouldn't either if you want to post here. And I expect to be treated reasonably politely. I won't hang out here if it isn't fun. I can ban anyone I want. That I still try to be fair and not ban people just on whim is amazing after the crap you guys dish out. Any objective person reading the thread the last few days would see that I gave Jewel many chances and warnings. And he is free to come back if he agrees to behave himself. I substantiated all the points I was making on Saddam Hussein with multiple sources of very credible evidence, so I have not idea what you are babbling on about. I also tried to get Jewel to actually talk about his feelings that might be behind what was going on, but he deflected that and went on the attack. I think your phonograph needle might be stuck. Nothing I do here is about the political positions of posters. It is about their behavior. I am so tired of whining people who cannot behave themselves or take responsibility for their own actions getting them in a jam that I don't even have energy left for yoga. My leotard is in a twist again! Incidentally, did you happen to see the alarming new statistics for drug abuse in Ireland? I am quite concerned: Report: Drug use in Ireland among highest in world Levels of ecstasy, cocaine and amphetamine use in Ireland are among the highest in the world, according to a report published today by the 46-nation Council of Europe. The report found that Ireland had the highest levels of ecstasy and amphetamine use in Europe and the second-highest level of cocaine use. The Council of Europe said 3.4% of Irish people aged between 15 and 64 used ecstasy, compared to 2.5% in the Czech Republic and 2% in the United Kingdom. Ireland and the UK were both found to have the highest level of amphetamine use at 1.6%, followed by Denmark at 1.3%. With regard to cocaine, meanwhile, the Council of Europe said 2.4% of Irish people used the drug, compared to 2.6% in Spain and 2.1% in the United Kingdom. irishexaminer.12hs.com

I am going to reply publicly to your PM just so things don't get twisted as they have such a way of doing. Then I will ask that my name just be dropped from whatever the heck is going on here. 1) Jewel did mention me in a post to grainne. Oh yeah and tell RAMBI hello for me ... she's got an ancient ax she needs to bury and a well known history of running interferrence (sic) for ionesco ... so much dishonesty so little space tsk tsk ... btw you're sitting in a transparent glass bubble not behind lead walls. He also tried to get me going on the Ion thing in a post to me. You must have missed it, but it had no relevance to anything, so I didn't respond to it since it just looked to me like a poke. 2) I did not feel attacked, though I did think he was trying to be provocative. I have had no private communication with grainne about this. Personally, I find what's going on here absolutely baffling. It is reminiscent of a past ugliness you and I both lived through, and I have no idea why anyone who has gone through this before would seek it out again. A personality that delights in coming to other people's threads to do nothing but be nasty exhibits a seriously disturbing behavior to me, a dark side of SI that I try hard to avoid. Hope this clarifies.
