What happened to maintaining that mature, aloof image you so desperately cling to? What happened to outwardly transcending the situation whilst secretly emailing me stupid little insults?
I am not your parent. I do not answer to you for how I behave or worry that somehow I might hurt your feelings by responding honestly and describing your behavior accurately. However, you are suffering another episode, if you think I know your email address. :rolleyes:

Well, now ya know.

I will certainly stop addressing any posts to you or about you
You've been posting about me? What have you been saying, you little scamp? Do tell!

if only you will do the same.
Never, I shall continue to address posts to and about myself, if I so wish.

Well, he'd post weird 'insulting' little message and then immediately delete them, so I'd get the e-mail notification but nobody else would see it. It amounts to the same thing in my books. It was a long time ago, but an example of something he wrote is: "another ignorant peasant child with dung on your booties. You reveal your ignorance with every word you tyupe." (copied verbatim) Was I seriously meant to be insulted by it? :confused: I confess that for a while I was extremely bitter about him kicking me out of SB1, because I didn't deserve it at all. The story[^] The unacceptable behaviour[^] I hadn't posted here for a while, but came back to SB1 and it was immediately obvious to me that Oakman was determined to manufacture some polemic with me that would give him an excuse to kick me out. What he came up with was pathetic: what I did was suggest that he was wrong about something, and he responded extremely aggressively and I mistakenly thought that he was actually joking. I was completely thrown off guard, and I started asking them what was going on and what I'd done wrong. Alan Burkhart walked lockstep with him, it seems, saying that I didn't have the authority to suggest that he (Alan) could be wrong about something (I didn't say that he WAS wrong, mind, and in fact I remember saying that he was probably right, but proposed a possible alternative). Oakman continued his assault, and then he started deleting most of the conversation, particularly the messages where I was confused, where my supposed insults were, and where he was attacking me. This is because only he, Alan Burkhart and I were online at the time, and he didn't want anybody else to see the exchange, because he knew it wasn't grounds for banning me, which he subsequently did anyway. There's another problem, or it was a problem anyway. A lot of people saw

Well, Oakman Lite Rob Graham has closed SB1, and like a hero he's pretending that it was my fault. Apparently posting about abortion is 'trolling' . . . well, only if you think that abortion isn't a terrible thing and in doing so offend the nutjobs.

This is great! Someone actually chased you down and 1 voted you. What a bunch of morons. The reason he closed it down is because Rob, Mike and the rest wanted it to be a wing-nut echo chamber. They wanted it to be a place they could go and bitch about Obama liberals and Democrats. The only "debate" they want to participate in is how big a moron is Obama or how much do liberals really hate Ameirica - a little or a lot? People like you and me shake them up and challenge their world view.

Somebody with a lot of reputation, apparently. Somebody emotionally invested in SB1. Somebody against me. Hmm . . . :rolleyes:

Yeah, I think that's true. Most of them have grown to dislike me for telling it like it is. :cool: ;P

:laugh: It certainly got tedious, even to the point that Rob Graham let in all the exiles to spice things up a bit. In my case, however, I still didn't appreciate the way they'd all kicked me out and then only inviting me back in to provide entertainment, so I became a little more aggressive with my truth-telling.
