I don't want a divorce II NEW THREAD pt 30

[JosephS]

Don, I'm not impressed by your attempts to belittle or bully me. I do not plan to engage or converse with you again. Have a nice day. (:

Bullying? Oh C'mon, seriously? Why not thrown in racism as well since it appears in today's world rather than debate or discuss we just try to claim bulling or being racists rather than discuss the actual topic - which is exactly what I was trying to do - get you to defend your comments. Stand behind what you say - don't deflect. Was I a bit harsh and perhaps belittling you - yeah I guess a bit. I still don't know what your support of destructive behavior has to do with you doing well at work or having your D talk to you. What's the connection? Or are you trying to prove your a solid human? If so, I would have lead with being an amazing cook. From what you've described here you can put most of us to shame with the things you create sometimes last minute for a picnic. You are doing great at GAL activities and clearly make friends very easily. You've somehow attracted the attention and secured dates with far more women in a shorter time frame than 90% of on line daters - or at least 90% of those I know or have heard stories from. I'd be leading with some of these but again I still don't know how it relates.

I'm simply trying to get people to actually start using their minds and do some critical thinking - something that has clearly gone out the window in our current sheep mentality of today's society - just follow what one "expert" says, don't dare question and if you do we'll remove your posts (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter I'm talking to you) or just claim you are racist. We need to hold people accountable. Clearly, there are many ways to do that. I often take a much clearer, stronger stand. But an softer yet clear response can be made. But to say you are jealous of clearly destructive behavior is beyond anything I can understand. You could have have either defended what you said, told me why I was wrong, or could have said, yeah, you're right, I should not have said that, or even clarified like May tried to do for you. But to play the bully card is well, lame and simply not true. If everything becomes bullying, like everything becoming sexual harassment, it erodes actual bullying or harassment. It's much easier to try to throw a label and run for a safe space or security animal or something than it is to articulate your beliefs and point of view. But like with everything, it's always our choice to do the right thing. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bully.

I read it the same way you did at first. But I think May is 100% correct. CW has always been the most compassionate person posting here. I think he was trying to relate on her level.

But let’s try to stay on topic. No need to go on a rant about society in general. Bringing up racism was just…bizarre
