Not if the person presenting another perception is not seeing it the same as you.

Calling someone a poopyhead is bashing.

A different perception is not misrepresentation, lying or bashing.

poopyhead??? :>)

Calpernia, let’s say that you oppose gay marriage. Let’s say that every time you’ve had a chance to vote on it that you’ve opposed gay marriage or supported natural marriage.

Now let’s say that someone says “Calper has a friend who is gay.” Someone else finds out that Calper goes to a church that had a gay in it. Someone else finds out that you’ve read a book of Andrew Sullivan.

Someone now comes along and says, “I think we should reinterpret all these anti-gay marriage votes that Calpernia cast.” I have reason to think they were made secretly to support the cause of gay marriage. Finally, this person announces: “I think Calpernia is actually a supporter of the thing she actually voted against.”

Now, has that person been fair with your record or have they allowed their “interpreting skills” to lead them down a rat hole?
