I try not to read the posts which are conflict directed- and I'm only reading yours this one time, but I do NOT want to talk about anyone (except in a pleasant, kind and complimentary way) who is not included in this conversation, which is between you and me. You may talk about yourself any way and you like, and you may talk about me nicely, or (even better) you could talk about ideas- but barring that, I'm really not interested.

It's not about blinders; it's about different points of view, and different motivations, and a way different sense of what is appropriate and productive.

"Did you not notice Sun Tzu's polite explanations as to why solon's behavior on another thread got him banned there?"

Sun Tzu banned me out of personal spite. You are well aware of it. I explained it here and challenged him to apologise but he simply mumbled and evaded the truth of the matter.

Until the post where I asked him to show some decency and respect, it was hunky dory.

He broke his thread rules and he used his capricious role as moderator to shove through his arrogance and his fundamental dishonesty. When he was called on it, he crawled about like a worm.

As I said, he showed a mean spirited, miserable and pathetic cowardice. The worse kind of bully is one who is afraid to allow the other party to speak or to defend--but arbirarily shuts down their voice and their truth.

You have shown yourself to be a bully, a phoney, and a flake. You and sunny are two peas in a pod. You are both stupid, immature, and bullies of the worst kind. Sorry about my "rath"--LOL!

Yep! Sunny claims this violated his thread rules! Miserable little bully tyrant!

"Drop it. I only came here to respond to an insult. I explained that to you. Don't talk down to me.

I respect you on my thread. I want you to be fair, decent, and above board on yours. If you are going to talk down to me then we have nothing to discuss. I will not contribute to a thread with that sort of attitude hanging over me..."


Yep! Asking him to show some respect is surely a violation, all right. A violation of his bullyish ego! What a load of crap. Why don't you and sunny go spew your malicious horseshit smewhere else?

The flaw is in associating one's engagement in conflict as inherently 'wrong'. Inquiry is the seed of conflict, where conflict is the catalyst for growth and renewal. It may also tend toward ruinous endeavor when forced upon one of vulnerable character. Tread lightly therefore, and lay not your query on the path of a rampaging mob.
