It happens when you arbitrarily stand by a comment shown (several times) to be either false or incomplete.

Peach, I admire you for your tenacity and understand your thoughts, but you have become fixated and frankly argumentative. (Which ISN'T against the rules btw, as I know them).

The statements made by Ann that may have been over the top are normally recognized as biting satire.

It is meant to push your buttons and raise some response. Obviously, hers worked.

I will just say, as I've said on another thread, that I don't care whether she's over the top or not. What I care about is that this issue has drowned out the main premises of her book. She had a real opportunity to reach a vast audience and make her case about her thesis. I'm sure that the Jersey Girls issue is a tiny part of her argument but it's getting all the attention and most likely turning off some who might have been interested in her arguments.

What if everybody was arguing about her position that abortion is the liberal sacrement? Wouldn't that be a more effective use of her time and the country's attention. Instead, she gave her opponents an opportunity to distract her from her main topic.
