If you send messages like the one you did, you cannot seriously expect the recipient to keep it to them self.
"Abuse" and "Threats". After years of what you guys have been pulling on these forums? Please.
Originally posted by SuzianneHe either deliberately or accidentally misrepresented the content of your message. He appeared to be quoting from a text. If someone gave him that text and set him off with his foolish name-calling antics last night (my time), then he was manipulated by someone. There's nor better word to describe it. The reason why the content of your message and your behaviour was not entitled to my cooperation in keeping it shrouded in secrecy is not "minutia".
Sonhouse is like me, and most Americans, we paraphrase on occasion to more quickly get our point across. You focus on minutia so that you have something to deride. You also start talking about 'manipulation' in order to get him to doubt himself.

Originally posted by SuzianneWas there something I said to you on the forums at some point over the years that the mods refused to remove? Is that your justification for your abuse of the web site's message facility?

No, in this case it was three:
[1] there was no onus on me to keep such a laughably nasty message secret
[2] there were several other regular posters who might be interested in seeing your true colours as demonstrated in your abuse of the web site's message facility
[3] it's probably put a stop to any further similar abuse by you or by like minded posters
"seeing your true colours"
"similar abuse"
Not understanding my message and only concerned with how you could use it against me. This is the real issue here.

Originally posted by FMFObviously, you did.
No I read it all very carefully, took in what it said (which was mostly the same sort of apoplectic scorn-for-scorn's-sake you like to regale the public forums with), saw that I couldn't reply to it without an accusation of "harassment" being fabricated, realized that the message brought with it no obligation to keep what you were doing secret, and passed it on to forum regulars who might be interested. I did not ignore 98% of it at all.
Or is your problem some form of "cognitive dissonance"?

Originally posted by SuzianneI think I have come to understand your behaviour completely, Suzianne. I certainly understood how the message was a rather obvious extension of your forum behaviour. There is no problem understanding you or your message at all. If you stand by - and are proud - of it, and if you think sending it was the right thing to do - you don't appear to be showing it. If what you did was justified and reasonable, people will make their own minds up. The message is there for all to see.

You are now saying that the message in reality was an exercise in 'pride swallowing'? Well, I don't think that's true at all - I think it's arrant nonsense - so I can't be said to have missed that, no.
You really have no idea what I've been talking about today, do you?

Originally posted by SuzianneNo. I don't think so, Suzianne. I think I have been very clear sighted and really quite measured in how I have dealt with you behaviour. Trying to characterize it as cognitive dissonance, or some such psychological flaw, is not a clutched-straw that you're going to get much mileage from.
Obviously, you did.

FMF:: You are now saying that the message in reality was an exercise in 'pride swallowing'? Well, I don't think that's true at all - I think it's arrant nonsense - so I can't be said to have missed that, no.I addressed your point about you supposedly 'swallowing your pride' head on. I didn't miss the point at all.

What is the point you are trying to make about me and women then?
As you know, I have worked for years in the fields of improving their access to social protection programs and employment, and tackling workplace discrimination, supporting women engaged in overseas labour migration who face difficult conditions while away and after they return, promoting mate ...[text shortened]... ncasing it in yet another one of your hacked-up vituperative say-anything cry-wolf fur balls. 😉
Can you hear me now?

Originally posted by SuzianneI can hear you. But this notion about "real people" that you trot out over and over and over again is nonsense. Just because you feel rubbed up the wrong way by me because I will not be browbeaten by your perma-scorn forum persona has got absolutely nothing to do with "real people" this or "real people" that. You are just a blowhard on a message forum and one of the most non- self-aware ones I have ever come across. You will never be able to burnish your chosen persona here ~ and your behaviour ~ by chuntering on about "real people" as if somehow your constant negativity and condemnations give you access to these "real people" that other people - like me for instance - don't have.
YOU HAVE NO EMPATHY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REAL PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT ANYTHING.

Suzianne didn't ask you whether or not you were "constant and clear".
Perhaps if you weren't so focused on yourself you would have a better idea of what Suzianne has been saying.
