I deleted the previous post because I'd had to edit it so many times it became ludicrous - this primitive html crap is driving me mad. And now I notice you have some OP I need to go and read too?

The self-deleted post, hopefully free of html errors, is reproduced below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time I saw your post in that thread I was unable to post in the thread. I PMed you as follows (I am editing certain things that I feel quite free to say in PMs but may not say on the board).

how dare you?

"Don't come into the LGBT forum with your issues about this thread"

I came into that thread beause (name omitted) chose to post a call-out and (misrepresentation) ABOUT ME.

Any clearer now?

Want to chide (name omitted) for (their) appalling (I am having to edit the next three words because my post will be reported otherwise; they can be paraphrased as misrepresentation and call-out).

Want to post an apology to me?

HAHAHAHAHA.


What you posted next completely and absolutely failed to clarify that you were NOT talking about myself and others who took my position in that GD thread:

justiceischeap
42. I meant to reply to those coming into the LGBT forum and cause trouble over this thread

so, no, not the OP. I thought I made that clear in my post that some folks were causing trouble in William769s thread on the issue.

How on earth does that tell anyone that you were talking about the people who actually DID drag the thing into your group? Who was "causing trouble" in the thread in GD? The people who dragged the thing into your group, i.e. NOT me? My head is spinning trying to interpret that as you seem to be saying I should.


Here is the message I initially sent to the group host (who I did not know was a group host):

you are aware that I cannot reply to you

in that cowardly, vicious thread.

It is therefore entirely inappropriate for you to speak to or about me there, and in particular to continue the (misrepresentation) that the thread is full of.

I don't give a flying fuck if a jury chose not to apply the rules of the website and civility, just fyi. A (misrepresentation) is still a (misrepresentation), and a call-out is still a call-out, and (name omitted) is still a (misrepresenting) rule-breaker.

Obviously, I don't expect you to edit or delete your remarks.

The person in question deleted the post I was referring to as they had not known at the time that as a result of a hidden post I could not reply. Props for that.

I then replied to a PM from the same person that I had not seen when I wrote the above, accusing me of bringing "extranious issues" to the forum and telling me not to do so in future:

I sent you a PM before reading this thread (I meant PM, not thread)

Kindly read the sequence of events in that thread.

I was informed that I had been called out and I found that I had been (again I paraphrase: misrepresented by a person - and yes, I used stronger language, in a PM where I was stating my opinion based on facts I had posted on the board demonstrating the person's past behaviour toward me) who has made a habit of doing that. That was what I posted in response to.

I am disgusted at this, I am disgusted at your response to it, and I am disgusted at the anyone in that little "community" who has decided to tolerate this behaviour.

I have never in my life said anything negative about any individual LGBT etc. person or about the group as a whole in any way. I have devoted considerable time and effort over decades to the issues of concern to that group. I am disgusted at how I am being treated at this website.


And I am even more disgusted now.
