Well, apparently you can, but I'm not going to be able to follow you. You just strawmanned me to hell and back because you seem to think that everyone should follow the leader wherever he may go. I was interested in discussing the topic at hand. Yes, conversations evolve, but you have to, I don't know, stick to responding to those who have evolved the conversation with you or risk responding to a poster with strawmen. Now, I would appreciate it if you read my posts before responding to them and only attributed things I actually said to me. That is my biggest pet peeve. I have had "I don't agree with that" turn into "You're a hateful stuck up bitch" and "I think that was self defense" turn into "You dance on people's graves." I'm a little exhausted at all of the pretend conversations going on here.
Oh boy, really?
I do read them, not agreeing with me does not mean I don't read them. And I defy you to quote me where I called you a "hateful stuck up bitch", those were YOUR WORDS not mine. So if anyone is sticking words in others mouths they didn't say, it would be you, not me.
And again I AGREE WITH SELF DEFENSE . I don't agree with a collective society fostering a "get even" mentality as a default. Long term it is bad for the collective rights of all.
