[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

I'm going to be honest, I can't keep up with all the edits you make along with your circular reasoning. I just wanted to know where I crossed the forum guidelines. It seems we have an arbitrary rule that if someone says something that bothers someone personally, that that is when the guidelines are crossed.

??? I don't know how you got THAT out of what I said!

I don't feel I personally attacked you, and in my honest opinion I was contributing to the conversation. But you still threaten me with admin retaliation or whatever else because you don't like hearing what I have to say.

You're twisting my words. I never threatened admin retaliation. I said that if the discussion didn't get back on-topic I'd report it to the mods because it's been getting waaaaay out of hand...and continues to do so even though I've asked you several times to please get back on topic.

How could I possibly threaten moderator retaliation when I'm not longer a mod? I mean that doesn't even make sense!

I can't make you feel personally attacked, Monica, only your own feelings can make you feel that way - this is the philosophy you preach.

C'mon, seriously? You seriously can't see the difference between analyzing a PERSON and analyzing a TOPIC??

And, you can't see how analyzing a PERSON is OFF-topic?

You can say "well it's different this time!" but to me, it's really, really not.

I make the assumption when I post (and I've admitted that I'm wrong and need to fix that) that we are all here to work on ourselves and our distortions. Discussing communication styles falls within the realm of blue-ray crystallization. I think it's very important that we continue these discussions. I'd be happy if an admin split the thread if that's the only way that we can openly discuss this. Otherwise, dismissing my points as being "off-topic" gets us nowhere.

You can discuss communication styles all you want, and you don't need an admin to do that. Simply start your own thread. But leave it out of THIS thread.

Also leave ME out of your new thread. I'm Not up for grabs as a topic of conversation. Neither are you, neither is Bluebell, neither is anyone else.
