I think you've summed up things nicely.

What an excellent post! She has given herself a new name! You know, X just oozes hatred in every line. Sometimes it is overt, and more often it is in that snide and supercilious manner that she affects. But she is the cause of any backlash. You would not have taken the time to expose her so admirably and honestly, if she had not acted with such childish malevolence toward you. Does she not understand this??? You have exposed her personal prejudice, hostility, and meanness and allowed her the new name which she now carries as a direct consequence of her bad mouthing you after segregating you--and after telling you (in effect) that you could not drink at the public fountain because you did not measure up. Now those two Baboons of Ban can just enjoy their pure and special fountain together. They are a miserable couple of little nippers. Once again..EXCELLENT exposure!

Very well done, Brumar. Very insightful. Still, it would seem a forlorn hope that the object of your analysis would learn anything from it. You know, the truth is that I have never disliked X. "Dislike" needs an emotional component which just isn't there for me. (Maybe in the same sense that some people--me--think Bill Clinton to be despicable in many ways, but still find him a likable rogue). I've always thought X to be one of the most intriguing personalities on SI. Given that I vehemently disagree with virtually all of her opinions and positions, I have found her to be a worthwhile person to debate. She is quick-witted and articulate, and thus a worthy adversary. I feel that with stakes as high as they are in the current political environment, I for one need the practice one gets from debating skillful adversaries on the opposite extreme. I know X well enough to know that she will only debate a topic to a certain point. Politeness has nothing to do with it. When her point (or mood change)is reached, she abruptly terminates the exchange by an insult ("bigot" being her favorite), or a "don't post to me," or the nuclear option of banishment. I believe she thinks of herself as a very independent thinker, but in reality all of her positions are in lock-step with the gurus of the far left. Thus it is little wonder that she favors censorship and suppression of opposing viewpoints, traditional tactics of the shout-down leftist extremists. For the life of me, I can't get worked up enough to dislike X, let alone hate her. Like Scrooge, her ill temper harms no one so much as herself. I won't be a party to feeling any emotion about her whatsoever. As is the case with you, I only make these public comments about her because she has not once, but twice, chosen to comment about me after banning me.

Assholia HEY! I like that! Fitting! However only a demented freak would think criticism of publicly aired death wishes and assassination fantasies is a fringe view. Absolutely. This never happened with Clinton. Wouldn't it be interesting to see her reaction if it had. [ link deleted - inquire by PM if interested ] Not necessary. I've got advanced search. And it was to one of the politer people on SI, too. I really hope she reads you post. And pays attention to it.
