...."I don't want to get personal, but..." You will anyway. I guess when you live in an alternate reality, you somehow can expect others to pretend along with you to. Sorry X, I'm not buying. ...."after reading your very comprehensive posts, we clearly disagree about what civil posting behavior is" Speaking of alternate realities, our discussion here was far more than that. The main thrust of our discussion was; - your clear misperception of what you think we do on this thread, - your obvious misperception of why you think we do what we do on this thread, - your unsubstantiated assertion that this thread is an echo chamber, - exposing your obvious, yet contemporaneously posted hypocrisy, - when you are confronted with credible evidence that utterly destroys previously made unsubstantiated assertions, you ignore it & simply invent new unsubstantiated assertions to replace the discredited ones, - despite your adamant protestations to the contrary, a significant amount of what you post is indeed about you, - your ongoing penchant for uncivil, demeaning personal attacks, false misleading & wholly unsubstantiated assertions, baseless innuendo & ridicule about Holly & myself & others, - your affinity for vehemently defending Grannie mostly by attacking, ridiculing & harassing the alleged offenders, yet somehow blithely ignoring that Grannie posts some of the most extreme, outrageous, repulsive, ludicrous & reality defying diatribes on SI, - your desire to silence all critics of you, Grannie & your peers over at the "feelies" thread by any means necessary, - exposing your hypocritical, delusional & most fervent belief that you are the epitome of civil posting on SI & that it somehow gives you the moral authority to impose your standards of civil behavior on your perceived detractors, albeit you never broach the topic with those who subscribe to your world view no matter how thoroughly uncivil they are, - along with other assorted confabulations, distortions & revisionist history asserted as fact. Please feel free to track back from this post to your original post here & you will see I have covered the main thrust of your discussion here quite accurately.

...."I also do not think you have taken in to account that people will hold one responsible for posting behavior in other venues - so even if posts on a thread are not horrible, bad public behavior elsewhere (especially concurrently), perhaps in small enclaves with like minded people, especially when it insults certain moderators, will certainly be taken in to account. Just my opinion, but I think it's logical and I'm sticking with it" Oh really? Based on what credible analysis? How widespread is this alleged practice? And what credible evidence exists that I actually engage in such reprehensible behavior on select portions of SI, yet have never engaged in it on the threads where I am banned? Sorry, X, but the "fake but accurate" defense attempted by Dan Rather, Mary Mapes & the MSM or the "false but accurate" defense used by NewsWEAK & the MSM didn't work for them. What makes you think it works for you? The only credible evidence that has been presented thus far thoroughly discredits your unsubstantiated assertions. It is of no use trying to have a reality based discussion with someone who can ignore rock solid facts & simply invent a never ending string of unsubstantiated allegations rather than concede they are wrong.
