Do tell me if this is arguing too much (this thread was actually supposed to be about the generalities of what might constructively happen when something goes "wrong" in a philosophical discussion forum, but I might have to resign myself to going on living the life of a "wrong" person, playing the villain, for a bit longer!), but: Would it not strictly be more accurate, i.e. in accordance with the easily observable facts, to say that this started with someone attacking my "Credo" (which was invested with some personal significance) without pausing to read it properly (even when asked politely and argued with rationally), and then was greatly intensified when someone else started a thread specifically to attack me in personal terms, and my first reply was angry but not abusive, and my second reply was polite and completely rational, and it then turned out that this person was a troll, a fact which simply could not have been evident to me as a newcomer? I am telling this as I remember it, and not giving myself any advantage by consulting the public record of those threads. In this way, if my memory is distorting my perception of those past events, then anyone reading this should easily be able to demonstrate this fact to me, simply on the assumption that I am a rational being. More generally, any misperceptions by me of other individuals, or of the general social situation here at Minds Eye, should be easily demonstrable, on the basis solely of the public record and the assumption that I am a rational being. If I turn out not to be rational, I can be banned (regardless of any opinion I might have about the matter).
