AND JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE QUIT BULYING HER! You people always do that. Bully someone you strongly disagree with, then if they retaliate/treat you the same way you treat them, then you sit there and pretend their retaliation came from no where and was uncalled for.
Waiting for her to retaliate in rage so you can ban her like you did other members or something?
I never said anything about her retaliation coming from nowhere or being uncalled for. I disagree strongly with her opinion, which I have made very clear, but that is
all I have said. I may have used some strong wording in some places and I admit my argument got a bit heated, but only because this is something I believe so strongly. In any case, my anger was only directed at Marchosias' opinion, and not her as a person.
I wouldn't want her to get banned just for having an opinion. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if people saw
me as being in the wrong for my rant, where I admit may have gone just a
bit too far. But, hell, the only thing Marchosias has done at all is argue her point (rather calmly, I may add). I still disagree strongly with her opinion and I think
that's what's getting people riled up, but, to her credit, she isn't exactly flaming at anyone or saying anything ban-worthy.
I'm not "bullying" someone I strongly disagree with because I want to see her throw a fit and get banned. I'm saying the things I have been saying because
I strongly disagree with her. And that is all.
I maintain that I disagree with her opinion to the point where I think it can even be harmful to others (for reasons that Brovo and others have elaborated on), but, I'm not
bullying her just because of that.
Hell, it would be really easy of me to do something as simple as wish that something terrible happens to her or a loved one that her folk methods can't cure, but I wouldn't even do
that -- because I acknowledge that that's certainly over the line and I wouldn't
hope that anything bad happens to her just to prove my point. If anything, I would hope that she
doesn't have to deal with something like that, because, as stated, I hate seeing people refuse the treatment that could help them.
Just because I disagree strongly with someone's opinion doesn't mean I hate them as a person or want to see them banned or anything. It's possible to disagree with someone, even strongly disagree, and even post a rather strongly-worded disagreement without
bullying anyone.
Bullying I think implies the intent to cause harm in some way. And that's not my intention.
