I'm neither on Team Brad nor Team Fred (imagine for a second the t-shirt possibilities), but it seems that pretty much most of the flack you get comes after you've torn into someone (oh, let's say...Fred, for the sake of the conversation). It seems like you go into every thread just biding your time until Fred gives you a "reason" to lash out. Then an interesting - or what could have been an interesting - thread just becomes another stupid pissing contest while the rest of us watch in car-crash curiosity.
Do what Harmening and so many others of us have said and just let it go. Start your thread, double-check your facts (and tense), and then own your opinion. Take the criticism in stride. Forget about the past and leave it out of your responses and deal only with the topic at hand.
That's my point: Fred just throws out false information to try and tarnish my name and then everyone just buys into it without even realizing how full of shit he is.
Like when he claimed that I said Chemotherapy doesn't exist.
I do lash out when people like Fred or Pat just post bullshit, but it's usually them on the initial aggression.
Like when Pat posted my quote from an entirely different board, that I admitted I misspoke about and deleted in under thirty seconds, to this board like it somehow gives him credibility and makes him sound smart, and no one said a word, but then I bring up something he said, that he still has yet to answer for, and people act like I committed a mortal sin.
My tense might have been able to be different, but it was clear what I meant. This is a message board, not grammar school or English class.
