God Of Mr Hanky Wrote:To be fair about it, I don't see anyone still passing judgement on CL, and a few of you are protecting pets of yours from all criticism as a means of building political clout around here. I still like CL, and I hope she comes back, but she should not be made by any sanctimonious assholes on a power play to believe her comments are above critical analysis, and she opened a serious can of worms with this thread.
Cathy is NOT a pet that needs protecting. I think that she's handled her own pretty damn well considering. She's been here since June of last year and honestly, she's always been able to hold her own. However, she is still my friend. If I, and others here can clearly see that she's being ganged up on, then yes - true friends are going to step in and have a say so on it. It's what friends do. They help each other. Some of you got called out for your continued barrage of attacks on her. Can't handle that? There's the door. I will always come to the defense of a friend - theist or atheist - if they are being ganged up on by others who want to go beyond what is a reasonable debate and start accusing someone of something - whether if is a belief or not. Huggy is another example. He was called a racist in another thread and I came to his defense. Some people here seem to think they are above and beyond and better than everyone else and can do and say anything they want with no regards to other people's feelings and will cross several lines just to do it. If people have a problem with me coming to the defense of a friend, then block me and be done with it. That doesn't make me, or anyone else defending a friend, sanctimonious assholes on a power play either. Furthermore this has nothing to do with building political clout. Where you even get that is beyond me.
