PS FatFencer: It's totally possible for someone to be attracted to guys AND girls. In real life! I know,
craaazy, isn't it?

Just the fact that my name is "Ashley" and I'm female AND in the US should be a powerful clue that I'm not in my 50s. But in case you haven't already gathered, I'm 23, and a recent graduate of SMITH COLLEGE. I am regularly accused of being a feminazi, radical feminist, and the like. I have never before in my life been accused of being a misogynist (it's nice to have new experiences though, I suppose). It's also never been suggested that I'm in my 40s or 50s, although I do apparently come off as somewhat older than 23 to coworkers and the like.
I tried to help you out. By even the most paranoid of delusions, I was quite nice/helpful in my first post directed at you. You decided to take offense. You have continued to decide to be offended by my posts, no matter their content or tone. You want real offense, check out the "politics" forum. There's more than enough to be actually offended by there.
This is the internet. Typos, things that are unintentionally unclear, and general miscommunication are par for the course. But when I'm unintentionally unclear, you continue to take offense where none was meant. You admit my fault was in accidentally omitting an article. That's not exactly a mortal sin. It's barely a venial sin. And whatever kind of sin it is, you're guilty of imprecision on the internet as well. I just don't assume malicious intent without at least a little evidence. Like, for example, more than one post.
I do not know how to communicate with someone who seems to refuse to see that the only thing I did that was particularly offensive was suggest that I thought you were a "bloody moron". I'll take credit/criticism for that one. But I don't consider that a "nasty remark". I think it's roughly on par with calling me a misogynist with no evidence at all in that direction except something that you had misinterpreted and twisted into something bizarre. The difference is that I can provide evidence that your "misogynist" claim is probably not true, where as you have yet to convince me on the "moron" comment due to your total inability to admit that you're enjoying digging yourself further into a hole.
I still don't understand who you think is "territorial" or "threatened". But now I ALSO don't understand what kind of "button" you think has been pushed, or who has pushed it.
But here's one thing I will address, and I will address very clearly, not because it is an implied attack on me(couldn't care less), but because it is an implied attack on a friend:

I do not presume ex-boyfriends beat people up. I did not presume your ex-boyfriends might beat people up, as cleverly as you intentionally snipped my quotation to make it look like I said something almost like that.
Here's the bit you quoted:

Here's what I actually said:

I... don't know them, so I don't know if that's something they might do. And I'm also not really sure that that's what you're suggested that you thought I was suggesting-- but if I'm right, I think it's pretty ****ed up that you automatically assume that people on the internet are threatening you through your ex-boyfriends. |
Complain, whinge, and attack me all you want. I don't care. And go ahead, directly attack my friends for things they've actually done and said-- that's fair game. But do NOT imply that I'm projecting onto you the made-up-fact that I've had ex-boyfriends beat me up out of a quote you intentionally twisted to make yourself look less dumb and irrational. Telk deserves many things, but that is NOT one of them.
Shame on you.
