It’s not about the wrong interpretation – it’s about the dishonest snipping. Which she admits was unfair. And it took four years for her to admit that.

You’re doing it again. She didn’t admit to snipping you dishonestly in order to make you look bad; she agreed that if you had a problem with her cropping one particular sentence, she should have left that sentence in, but she stands by her overall point.

Why would you lie about this when we are _in the same fucking thread where it happened_?

I’ll quote the post again:

Right. She admits it was unfair. She didn’t admit to trolling (though I still think she’s a troll), but she admitted it was unfair to leave out (i.e. snip) that part of the quote.

Actually, that’s enough accusations of lying. Goodbye forever.

_Extreme_ blocking!

Bro. When you said she admitted to lying in order to make you look bad, you misrepresented her post ten times worse than she misrepresented your post. You _cannot_ actually be serious about this. You _know this_.

🙄

Don’t let that blisteringly hot sense of moral superiority burn you on the way out.

Yeah, I should have stuck by this rather than hoping Andy could get his head out his ass. Oh, well.

With respect to the OP, if one was actually in sympathy with a certain point of view regarding the treatment and future destiny of people in the CEO class, one probably shouldn’t talk about it.

I used to hear it said, “Question authority, and the authorities will question you.”

With that I will go back to lurking in this thread.

Just saying.

I wasn’t here for most of that time, since LHoD and your other charming buddies had bullied me off the board.

Apparently over the 4 years I forgot why I shouldn’t give an asshole like you the benefit of the doubt.

I too remembered you as someone capable of reasoned discussion - albeit with some dangerously foolish beliefs - but if that was ever true, it no longer is. Your flippant reaction to @Babale last night is as much evidence of that as your spitting in my face when I tried to do the right thing by apologising for something that really did seem unfair in retrospect. You’re under no obligation to accept my apology, but you went out of your way to be a jerk, and I’ll judge you accordingly.

I ran out of popcorn, what with Rump and Elmo.

I just came here to play some music and relax.

Jesus God. I don’t have a dog in this fight, and I make to claim as to my stance is on this particular issue, but @iiandyiiii is _not_ doing himself any favors by acting like a child in this conversation.

Fair enough, I guess the shtick didn’t work for everyone.
