70. I think that you shuld think, seriously, about why you are obsessed,

Oct 2015

with the notion of blocking/banning people or being banned yourself. It seems to be your first rection when you encounter someone who doesn't think exactly like you. About everything. Notably God and Ms Clinton. As you know I have no respect for your religion and whether or not your blessed Hillary gets to be President is a matter of complete indifference to me - one American right-wing millionaire who needs to claim that their favourite book is the Bible is pretty much like any other to those of us who don't live there and don't particularly care - but don't you think that your record of banning people from groups where you are a host is rather . . . childish? It's a bit like taking your ball and leaving the playground because no-one want to play the same game as you.

And then sticking your fingers in your ears and humming loudly whenever anyone questions you about it.

Anyone who tries to engage with you at all beyond your familiar string of one-line expressions either seems to end up getting banned or left with one of your "I refuse to talk to you any more" posts.

No doubt you will claim that this is a personal attack on you and I'm sure that the usual suspects would be happy to join in and say what a nasty atheist bastard I am but, really, it's not an attack at all. Although we have never met - and never will - it's obvious that you and I don't like each other but I would never ban you from anywhere because you dared to disagree with me or because you laughed at me. Laugh away - it doesn't touch me and it certainly doesn't hurt anyone.

I'm just wondering: why won't you answer EvolveOrConvolve's questions? I mean, you came into our safe haven - from which no-one has banned you - presumably to engage with people, right?

Where did i defend him? hrmjustin Oct 2015 #51
I thought you respected safe havens Justin EvolveOrConvolve Oct 2015 #52
I do and you can ban me and I will understand but you called me out by name so again hrmjustin Oct 2015 #53
So you're saying you respect safe havens? EvolveOrConvolve Oct 2015 #54
Yes and the only reason I am here is because you called me out by name here. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #55
