Someone here wanted to talk about it in order to stop a debate....
It is not and never has been about "winning" with me. It's about listening and give and take. There's very little give among many people here, but if you read through most of my posts, you'll see me concede a point or two on most of my posts. This is not a method of manipulation or a cynical trick. This is how the world gets better. It's not about repeating one viewpoint over and over again no matter what one has said. It's not about trying to reframe the words of another person to suit a talking point. For me, it's about finding an understanding withing the points where people disagree (and still can disagree). That's about the most Muppety thing I can think of on a forum. And I'm not angry. It's just frustrating when a person continually misconstrues what I've said and continue to say in every response, particularly when I just try to end the discussion without naming "winners or losers" in an effort to keep the peace. I'm still not angry with you. Just irked that you conflated sexual abuse with child molestation. Both are bad. One is worse. You knew exactly what I was saying, but chose to argue a point (one that I actually agree with, but was not talking about at that time) in order to somehow "win" a dispute that I wasn't even having. If one can't admit that Republicans are currently supporting Child Molesters in office while the Dems are trying their hardest to get rid of people who are even sexually harassing legal adults at the moment, then I just don't understand. There are many peripheral points to be made there, but not with that portion. Last errand, and then clock punching. Unless all of y'all work from home too, I just don't know how there's so much time to reply to things. Whew. I want some of that.
