You keep going around in circles and won't address all the specific concerns about your posts and the specific questions I ask you.

"I think you're wrong (shudder!)" -- you're entitled to your opinion.

"I'm not sure what you and IC are getting so worked up about"

I can only speak for myself. I mind it when personal attacks and judgments are made of other human beings.

"I think when I was posting alone, the plan was to ignore me. And that was ok. I have no problem posting my thoughts and opinions. Unlike you and IC, I dont need to feel accepted and approved by others to feel comfortable with myself.
I think when someone else started posting and agreed with my opinions that was when the resentment kicked in for a few of you."
Again, just because others dont agree with you doesnt mean they have an agenda"

I have absolutely no problem with you stating your opinion and others agreeing with you. There was no plan, I'm simply responding to the personal attacks and judgmental statements.

"You say you realize that others will disagree with you and that not everyone will share your opinion, but it obviously bothers you. Or else you and IC wouldnt be playing the schoolyard games that you are playing."

I have no problem with others disagreeing with me. What evidence do you have to make a judgmental statement like that? How is it schoolyard games to try to stop disrespectful behaviour?

I can still allow myself to have fun in my life while others are suffering, and still feel compassion for them and support them in whatever way i can.
The fun for me is in learning about the behaviors here, which I didn't understand as well before.

True freedom comes when you no longer take anything personally. Freedom comes when you're able to say what you think even though you know you'll probably get ridiculed and attacked for it.

In a way, I take the personal attacks on me as a kind of backwards compliment. The closer one gets to the truth, the greater the resistance becomes. Tweet
