Reply #33: You have completely invented your own version of this history, no? [View All]

Everyone sees history from their own perspective but no one can simply make it up willy-nilly and retain their credibility. I've been on DU for years, on many forums, including the 9/11 Forum, but mostly in GD.

You seem to believe that certain groups are not open to all DUers who have the same interests. You are mistaken, and the sooner you get over it, the happier and more stress free your time on DU will be for you. You seem to think that not all atheists can participate in the A/A Group, that only certain skeptics can participate in the Skeptics Group, and that it is your duty to scrub certain discussions from the R/T Forum.

To that end, you insult anyone who you seem to think "doesn't belong there" and if you are insulted back, pretend that the other person started the insults. The current threads are a perfect example. I have ceased playing the insult game, but you seem not to have noticed. Who is insulting whom, really? Take a good look and get back to me.

The proof of your inability to let go, is your refusal to accept my proposal that we just ignore each other. If you find interacting with me insulting, then don't interact with me. I would gladly not interact with you. Why can't you do the same?

You simply need to stop trying to "police" participation in various forums and you will be amazed at how much happier you will be.
