"This" in my post refers to the practice of constructing arguments out of one's own inner turmoil/anger and then projecting them on others. I have not seen anyone do that so consistently and for so long as the poster referenced.

I am not denying that you have been treated unfairly.  Were I to make such a claim you could easily refute it with reference to at least two times in recent memory that I have dissented on your behalf, disputing disrespectful and ungrounded characterizations of you--this despite the fact I myself frequently disagree with you. I have generally found your arguments to be focused on topic/subject matter, not people. If you have fallen short of that ideal, I'm pretty sure it has been response to repeated personal provocations and "piling on."  Both sides need more patience when dealing with the other side.

I agree and you are not one who engages in such tactics (as a norm), but let's not pretend it isn't a tactic that is more widespread than "SSF's treatment of Dino" and that is why I said bullshit when you suggested it was. i don't know if both sides need "more patience" but there should be unbaised condemnation when one poster decides to "make it personal" and SSF far from monopolizes that practice.
