You can think whatever you want of me. The opinion of someone like you is worthless to me.
Same here.
No. Don't ever compare yourself with me. I have made one insulting post like that, ever! And, it was nothing compared to what you and Gallstones do on a regular basis.
Then act like an adult and refrain from posting personal insults. You know full well that's what you were doing. I amplified your insult precisely to make a point. It offended you. It was intended to offend you because you offended me. You had no call to make the comment you did and you know it, you were just mad. Well, now you know how it feels to be called something nasty without there being any basis in reality.
I'm a mirror of your own behavior, which was entirely uncalled for and improper. When you debate fairly and rationally, so do I, but don't ever expect me to let snide insults like you posted pass unnoticed, because I won't. It's my right and obligation to bring it into stark focus when people do such things, in no small part as a matter of fairness.
Any reasonable person would understand that my insult was pure reactive hyperbole intended to make a point. Of course you're not a bitch or a cunt or anything else. I'm quite certain that you're a perfectly nice and honest person with whom I'd be happy to associate, but that's not how you were acting, so I made a point of bringing this to your and everyone else's attention.
Just because I argue a contrarian and controversial point of view that you don't like doesn't mean that I'm an evil person, it just means that I have the capacity to consider the question from the other side of the debate and the skill to argue my point well. If you respect me, I'll respect you, even if I disagree with your arguments, and I expect the same from you and everyone else.
So grow up and start acting like you have some sense and quit acting like a petulant child and we'll get along fine.
