Yes, I do take it personally when certain posters troll through discussions between me and another poster and pick out one sentence from a whole story and make a big flippin game out of it. I originally said:
"The original discussion I was involved in was about a father's love for a child and if he loved her less because he didn't publicly proclaim his disgust for her. Some posters chose to add little stringers from each post - taking it into directions it wasn't meant to be. Some people take advantage of that option on the internet, whereas in face-to-face conversations, they wouldn't think that way. imo, of course." (point proven, btw) In my continuing discussion with that orginal poster, we worked through our differences, and we both learned that we misunderstood each other.
I posted back later, on 455 to Taadams : ""Few would suggest"
Many have already suggested it, unfortunately.
The rest of your post I agree with."
Where do I say Freepers said anything? Where in his/her original post did he/she mention freepers? I thought it was a general discussion about the world. There have been hundreds of people on the left that have gone as far as demanding that Bush fire Cheney for not publicly denouncing his daughter - or for that matter, even having a gay daughter. Anyone that hasn't been living in a hole in the ground have heard the comments. Now, just because adams wants to play silly games with other peoples posts, and you chose to follow along that lead with snide comments later, doesn't mean the rest of us want to play along.
Don't play games. Many posts indicate that they supported Keyes when they thought he publicly denounced his daughter - and critisized Cheney because he did not.
