"Self-justified" simply doesn't mean anything ~ and certainly not as an attempted epithet ~ when all anyone is doing here is airing and sharing their personal opinions about things.

So this is your 'justification' for criminalizing others' behavior when you are guilty of much worse?

That's thin, man. Real thin.

In my own words? In what context or in which post are you saying I used the word "dishonest"? In the post you were replying to, I said that it is an imperative for me to be forthright and honest, I didn't say he was "dishonest".

Well, then, keep trying, you're not even within spitting distance.

Furthermore, I think it's right and proper for people to stand up to hypocrites and passive aggressive bullies in a public forum, in the same way as some of you think it is right and proper to stand up to me for the reasons they feel they have and if they feel those reasons are justified.

You are behaving in pretty much the same way so far in 2016 as you did in 2015. Conditions that might be comparable to a "truce" will naturally occur when people no longer feel the need to stand up to you and call you out." -- FMF, 23 Jan, 2016

Every single word of this could be directed at you, easily, and with far more sense than you directing it at GB.

As for Grampy Bobby's whole long standing self-annointed campaign to supposedly promote "etiquette" and "civility" and to rail against "trolls" and "trolling" and to supposedly discuss "insights" into the long often viciously condemnatory copy pastes ]that he sometimes doesn't appear to have understood himself or has failed to recognize how they might apply to h ...[text shortened]... th saying I find it all profoundly dishonest and rather obnoxious. And you can quote me on that.

"self-annointed campaign", "supposedly", "rail against", "supposedly", "viciously condemnatory", "[that he sometimes doesn't appear to have understood himself or has failed to recognize how they might apply to him]", "rank hypocrisy", "profoundly dishonest", "rather obnoxious".

And yet you still fail to see how all this applies directly to you. Unbelievable. And you can quote me on that.

You blind yourself by your own hypocrisy. This isn't against "those I don't like". This is against a couple of veteran "forum combateers" who engage in rather inflammatory forum combat against a person they have decided was weak. The wolves don't bring down the healthiest, they search for the ones who are abandoned and alone. The thumbs ratios speak to this. This isn't "derisory off-topic comments", either. You asked a question which was attempting to wildly assert that you didn't know what I was talking about. Spare us the "innocence" act.

You have to understand that there is also a wheelbarrow load from you that I "let go" for the exact same reason. Your narcissism, though, isn't part of that.

BUMP for Suzianne.

Do you have any sort of personal 'rule' that governs your own forum posting?

No, I'm not playing your game. You think YOU are actually applying your "rule" in your own posting, when I maintain that "no, you're not". You never "treat people the way you'd like to be treated". What a joke.

My rule is more akin to standing up to forum bullies. The difference here is that I DO follow my own rule and yeah, the rest is obvious.

Do you subscribe to "Treat others as you'd have them treat you" as a rule of thumb for your own forum posting and accept it when it is the rule of thumb used by others?

But you don't even apply it to yourself. Stop bloviating.

Grampy Bobby, is robbie carrobie one of the "small men" you were apparently referring to a couple of pages ago?

Passive-aggressive, much?

If you feel he is, just say so.

You spend a huge percentage of your time on these forums setting posters against each other. And you actually thought you had a chance to be a mod. Hilarious.

"Still"? He said it once.

Oh, I see. You think he keeps saying it every time YOU read it.

Then I suppose the best advice would be "PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"

But yeah, I agree, FMF should be "outed".

-Removed-

Do you?

I mean "besides excoriating people".

You can't hit a moving target. Maybe you could try actually paying attention to what he posts.
