*You don't criticize your friends? Even if they deserve it?
Interesting. Why not? Are you afraid if you do, they'll no longer be
your friends? Because I'd say it's not much of a friendship that can't
survive honest criticism.*

*I'm not going to go into a long defense, but your description below
of both my and Share's behavior is significantly inaccurate. (If I
were to take Share's line, I'd point out that as a friend of Share,
you're biased, and therefore I don't consider anything you have to say
about this to be worthwhile.)*

*Also, the banning of indifferent_netizen is not a precedent for
banning me. In the first place, we don't know why he was banned; Rick
didn't tell us. I'm guessing it was for threatening to out emptybill,
something I have never done to anyone. In the second place, I have
never spoken to /anyone/ on this forum anything like the way indiff
spoke to emptybill--or the way emptybilll spoke to indiff, for that
matter.*

To be honest, I didn't care for that post of Share's, but Share is my
friend and I do not criticize my friends.
You have been pursuing a vendetta against Share for more than a year
now, I would guess. She has dealt with you mostly in a civil fashion
and has even tried to engage you in friendly conversation. But your
hostility and abuse has been relentless. Were I the moderator of this
forum, I would issue you with a warning to stop the repeated abuse of
one member or face expulsion. Then if you did not comply I would
remove you from this forum. There is already a precedent for that with
the poster who was recently banned.

You know, I don't choose my words at random. I never said my
description applied to /all/ my posts; I never said none of my
posts were nasty or vicious. I stand by what I /did/ say, however.
I've never pretended to be saintly, but I do not, in fact, "love
to be mean, nasty, and vicious." I do find it very hard not to be
when dealing with an individual like Share.
Just out of curiosity, what do /you/ think about Share's attack on
Ann, comparing her to a Nazi and disparaging her appearance
because Ann wrote a funny parody of one of Share's posts? Let's
see how honest /you/ are.

*Share blubbered:*

*All from recent posts. Why can't you be honest about what you
do, authfriend? You are always
babbling/spewing/blubbering/snarling about how honest you are
and how dishonest your opponents are, but why can't you just
admit that you love to be mean, nasty, and vicious? You get
pleasure out of it, which is why you do it on this forum day
after day, week after week, month after month, year after
year. It satisfies something inside you, although what that
might be, only you know.

I think in the heat of battle, as it were, the other
guy--and/or his or her supporters--often experiences my
posts to be much more "nasty and vicious" than they
actually are. I'm frequently surprised when I reread my
own posts from some epic argument to realize how
restrained they were and how I instinctively took the
nasty/vicious quotient of my opponent's posts down a level
with each response rather than escalating it.
I think the perception of "nasty and vicious" is directly
proportional to how accurate my criticisms are. I'm sure
you won't agree, but that's why I say you'd have a hard
time backing up your accusation. You're remembering your
emotional response rather than the tone of my posts
themselves.

Of course you think that, because you seem unaware of
how you come across on this forum.

I think you'd have a real hard time backing that
up in my case, feste. But a no-brainer that Barry
would be at the top of the list.

With all this recent talk about "vicious" and
"nasty" posts, if one were to take a year's
worth of FFL posts and list by poster all the
posts that might reasonably be considered
either vicious or nasty, there would be two
posters at the top of the list, way ahead of
any others. These would of course be
authfriend and turquoise b. Share would be
well down on the list.
