I've read a number of your recent posts on this general subject and agree with most of what you have written. It seems to me that the problem is in the details. When a friend's opinions are being severely criticized it is far to easy (for all of us, not you personally) to view that criticism as personal rather than issue-related. For example, if someone writes that all conservatives are dumb or evil or uncaring, it seems reasonable to me for those people who identify as conservative to perceive such a comment as personal. I'm not sure you agree.

The personal attack that you perceived in my post was an attempt by me to explain why moderators ban you. It's probably impossible to explore that topic without being hurtful, so I'm sorry I tried to address it. Excuse me for butting in, but just one point. Wstera dedicated several paragraphs to explain to you that "moderators" are not banning him, and that he feels being banned from Feelies was an isolated and unfair act. That you continue to allege he has generalized behavior problems which causes "moderators" to ban him totally ignores his comprehensive response to you. Based on that, some people might conclude your apology to him is hollow. Just my 2 cents.

"The personal attack that you perceived in my post was an attempt by me to explain why moderators ban you." I take it that you still think I've been banned for what you perceive is my horrific behavior. You silence on the matter speaks volumes. You do this despite my explanation & an offer to back it up with links. I'll say it again; you are completely wrong. Please take a few moments to review these links & feel free to search those threads for any evidence of bad behavior in clear violation of thread rules. I'll break it up over individual posts to make it easier to follow..... Here are all of my posts on the Tidbits thread & the replies from the thread moderator who summarily banned me. Tidbits - Started By: Didi -- (Moderated) * hey di, I've been lurking, but not posting. You bring a lot of good info to this thread for our consumption. Thanks bunches ;-) Have a great Thanksgiving! Ö¿Ö Tim Message 14869163 * hey Tim, What a sweet surprise! Whazzzzzzz up? Tankzzzzz bunchies ;). Have a great holiday! Message 14869739 * Happy New Year to you di!..... Happy New Year/Heureuse Nouvelle Année /akimashite omedeto/ Felice Nuovo Anno /Feliz Año Nuevo /Glückliches Neues Jahr and all that :-o Best to you, Ö¿Ö Message 15103855 * Thanks much, Tim. A good year to you too. di eom Message 15104910

Here are all of my posts on the NOTES thread & the replies from the thread moderator who summarily banned me. * NOTES - Started By: Didi -- (Moderated) Hi Di, Thanks for the quick turn around on the essential info from the Fed. Most appreciated ;-) Ö¿Ö Message 15049669 * Hi Tim, Always welcome ;-). Have a great holiday season. Take care. di siliconinvestor.com *** From: Didi Lifted from "Ask Dr.Bob" board----------> Y'all ready for this? Steve Frenkel sees naz 5100 in April!.... ladenburg.com I'm somewhat dumbfounded. But he's dumbfounded people before. In March Frenkel called the May bottom (within 100 points), and in August he said that he'd start shorting at naz 4100 with a target of 2700 by November. So he's 2 out of 2 so far, but this new prediction is a bit much. Comments anyone? Message 15112944 My reply.... Don't hold your breath. Message 15112980

I only posted once on this thread (note who is moderator). * Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" - Started By: redfish -- (Moderated) (Tidbit from the thread header) ...Anyone who has actually seen it please post your thoughts.... * Here is my only post on this thread...... I doubt Mel had concerns about receiving recognition from the Academy Awards when he made the picture. And it would seem that he found a very appreciative audience globally, despite the MSM & certain others with what ever agendas they had. Message 20833300 *** It was in response to this..... It will be interesting to see what the Academy Awards does with it. Many members are refusing to even see it. In a normal year I would say it slightly misses the cut for Best Picture nomination, but this is not a normal year, the movies have been mostly atrocious. Given the dreck they have to choose from, I think it deserves a nomination. Message 20832828

Here are links to all 3 of my posts on the Enron thread. It consists of 2 articles & one reply. I'll link to the thread header to show it was established by a close minded left wing extremist, yet I never once violated any thread rules. I did not attack anyone & I exhibited no bad behavior whatsoever. That's a fact. Subject 52241 All of my posts..... Message 16908741 Message 16908384 Message 16908704

Below are links to all my posts on Sioux Nation in the last 45 days (I have since been summarily banned). The moderator, SiouxPal, has publicly admitted I am not banned due to any violations of thread rules. SiouxPal is a left wing extremist. A review of his profile should be sufficient evidence. If that is not enough, read a few of his posts on his thread. SiouxPal profile Member 8389909 My posts on Sioux Nation....

And then there's this ban from the Option's Box for this one post. Message 15858990 I guess civil but honest POV's just aren't welcome there from "certain" folks. </sarcasm off>

Currently I am banned from VOLTAIRE'S PORCH. However, last year I was "accidently" banned from there as this post from the moderator explains.... Message 20805285 There is no notice of why I am currently banned. The moderator (Dealer) is on vacation right now so I won't know if this is just another "accident" or not for a while. Again, I do not violate thread rules there either. As you can also see, the thread moderator & I get along just fine....

...."I used to post in a similar manner to you" First I disagree with that. I contend you continue to attack, demean & ridicule other people. The fact that you refrain from asserting that (insert name here) is (insert personal attack here) changes nothing. I've noted that you now reply to their post (or indirectly to someone else) & discuss something they've said then attack, ridicule & demean them with broad brush statements - 'anyone who thinks like that is' (insert personal attack here). That is but one of your "nuanced" ways of the same old same old X. Spin or deny all you want. That's what you do. Second, you DO NOT "post in a similar manner to" me. How & why we talk about other people could not be more different. I don't hide or deny what I am doing or why I do it. You steadfastly deny you still do it, albeit you do a decent job of hiding it with nuance, doublespeak, wordsmithing & obfuscation. Unlike you, I do not deal in perceptions & feelings when I make assertions about others. Unlike you, I do not make unsubstantiated assertions stated as fact. Unlike you, I don't employ sweeping generalizations as a means to attack & ridicule. Unlike you, I don't attack others because I don't like their politics or religious beliefs or because I think they are stupid & unworthy of expressing POV's that aren't in complete lockstep with mine. I do talk about people who express reality defying POV's, make hypocritical statements or lie, deceive or make false, misleading assertions, or deal in inappropriate or boorish behavior. (These are the main reasons I will talk about other people - that's a fact). If I claim someone lied, misled, etc., I quote them verbatim & in context, then provide credible evidence that clearly establishes that my assertion is accurate. If I allege hypocrisy, you can rest assured that I can link you directly to prime examples of it if I haven't done so already. Notice how you said my bans were based on your baseless, unsubstantiated opinion of my horrific behavior. You were dead wrong, yet that baseless opinion of yours allowed you to attack, demean & ridicule me repeatedly. And somehow you don't consider your repeated, baseless & unsubstantiated personal attacks about me to be personal or attacks. So feel free to misperceive these undeniable facts all you wish. It won't change what happens right here in the real world.
