Anna, it is YOU that is misrepresenting Mark's advocacy by what you said below!
He did NOT, as you claim, say that you directly advocated the death penalty; but, said your use of the term 'murder' to describe human abortion had that effect. He supported the allegation by reminding that the death penalty would be imposed by many juries and judges, even if YOU did not 'intend' that consequence. No sale on your charge against Mark!

In this category falls accusing someone of promoting or being pro death penalty or executions. But I do not believe that calling a person "biased" is an insult or a serious accusation, as per your description, but rather an opinion regarding other person's attitude in interpretation of the observable facts. We all are biased, there is nothing derogatory in this statement. At the same time, some bias can cause harm, while some doesn't. Nevertheless, I will try to prove my point regarding gravity. > > At the same time, I would like to see Mark apologizing for misrepresenting me on this forum by accusing of being pro-death and executions.
