[QUOTE=Sarahfeena] But wait, Asimovian…why aren’t you taking me seriously because I called him by the wrong name? I can assure you, I’m serious. [/QUOTE] No, I was being quite serious. I thought you were throwing a really childish mis-naming in the middle of constructing a serious argument. I don’t have any reason to doubt you if you say you didn’t intend that. I rescind my commentary. ---

I was going to offer to fix that mistake in your OP, **Sarahfeena** , but now half the thread wouldn’t make sense. 😛 I’ll do it anyway if you like. ---

[QUOTE=Sarahfeena] I want people to not slander me. I believe that is not covered under free speech. If he can back up his statement, he is free to make it. [/QUOTE] Is inference now considered slander? Look, I like alot of what you type and you’re honestly not on my radar of _people who annoy me ™_. In fact, I was pretty much in agreeance with you on the other thread about TDRXAPEYQKWEB or whatever his name was – even though I understand why he was banned, it bugged me, since I occasionally enjoyed his rantings as well as his semi-lucid posts. I just don’t understand why you want someone to retract an inference? Hell, call them on the inference, call them an asshole, wish for their fucking with a black-powder-stuffed dead antelope, but demand a retraction? Meh. Sorry. I just kind of found it funny. If I said “It’s all fun and games until someone gets her panties in a wad over someone else’ opinion” would you demand that I retract that? Yeh, I didn’t think so. YMOV ---

For the record, **Sarahfeena** , I would tend to agree with the point of your OP since I haven’t personally seen anything that suggests you’re a hypocrite with regard to free speech. I’m not quite sure why you’d go so far as to demand a retraction of a comment that was made in the Pit to begin with (mainly for the reasons that I now see **Litoris** has outlined), but I can see the point of your complaint. ---

In a forum where it’s perfectly acceptable to call someone a goat felching cum gargling knuckle dragging pedarest, having it implied that your post seemed a little hypocritical ain’t all that big a deal, y’know? [/QUOTE] I get what you all are saying, but here’s why it pisses me off so badly. Because there was nothing that anyone is going to be able to show me that will demonstrate that it even _seemed_ hypocritical. That is because I agree with **TLDR/VCO3** on approximately…hmm, let me see here…nothing. I haven’t run across any of his opinions I agree with. I’m not wild about his posting style. _That was the whole point of my pit thread on the subject of his banning._ My point is that I do NOT like it when unpopular opinions or posting styles result in bannings. I do NOT agree with “one-poster” rules like the one **Evil Captor** is under threat of banning with. For **Hostile Dialect** to misrepresent what my opinions were about **TLDR/VCO3** , AND misrepresent what I had said about **freekalette** in the TPE threads, and do it for his own unknown-to-me purposes is really beyond what I think is acceptable, even in the Pit. It’s complete and utter bullshit. ---

[QUOTE=Sarahfeena] at no time did I imply or state that anyone’s opinions on the matter be “silenced” or that anyone involved in TPE (that’s “Total Power Exchange”) has anything less than 100% right to be so involved if they so choose. [/QUOTE] Oh. … OH. _That’s_ what my deputy director was talking about today when she said she tried to Google some information about a product called Power Exchange and found some stuff she was not expecting to find. :smack: Topic: **Sarahfeena** , you’re getting a little Internet is Serious Business up in here today.

[QUOTE=lisacurl] **Sarahfeena** , you’re getting a little Internet is Serious Business up in here today. [/QUOTE] Hahah! That tickled me. Seriously, though,\*\* Sarafeena\*\*, I hate when I have a point to make, and folks are all like, WHOA! WHOA WHOA WHOA, CALM DOWN MADAM…MADAM, I’M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO CALM DOWN… So I will admit, that\* I\* get your point. Not that it calls for such angst, but I do get you point and I think you have a valid one. About the banning…I completely agree with you about that. Hostile Dialect shouldn’t have to take anything back, I don’t think…I mean, all is fair in the Pit. That is where one goes to get dirty. But I get your original point. And that is some damn fine coding in that OP. Damn fine. ---
