coug, forgive me, but grainne did not deserve that post. If you're angry, take it out on me (even though I had nothing to do with the post you complain of). I have thick skin. But, again, grainne didn't deserve that.

I really have no idea what you are talking about, Coug. First of all, if I wanted to read the posts banned posters write, I wouldn't have banned them. So bringing a post like that over isn't very logical to me, and I really have no idea what you are trying to communicate. Second, unless I am misunderstanding you, you seem to be saying that I enjoy being treated badly, and also equating the banned poster in question with people who post at Feelies currently. I think both of those things are extremely rude. I do not enjoy being treated badly, and I always object and try to guide people towards better behavior, but I think that sometimes having a sense of humor is a good way to deflect problems and come to better understandings with people, especially people I don't agree with politically but enjoy on other levels or other subjects. I am not a perfect person either, and sometimes the way I communicate is not the best. I am trying to learn though. I even have cordial PM relationships with people I disagree with constantly here. I don't think someone's political opinions define them completely. There are many facets to the individuals who stop by to post here. Someone who is conservative politically might well be a fine person. You seem to put people in rigid little boxes, and maybe the way you polarize them has finally driven you over the edge. Personally, I don't think it's healthy to think that way. I have no idea what is happening to you, but your posts over the last little period of time have become more and more hostile and ugly. You are probably a lovely person in 3D, but it isn't coming across online at all. You have reverted to the worst behavior you accuse others of exhibiting. I have no idea why.
