Let me put my attitude to you as succinctly as I can Willo
There was a time when I engaged with the reply by paragraph tit for tat game with you but then we got to the crux of the matter. You said I was a Hamas sympathiser and given you believe all Hamas are terrorists I must be a terrorist sympathiser.
Well blame your own words for condemning you. Not me.
So now I understand that I am engaging with someone who thinks it is ok to make such a statement about someone and then complain that someone doesn't reply exactly to what he says. All this " just answer the question" "yes or no" " i didn't say that" is all noise to me because in my eyes you have forfeited the right to complain about what I say and what I do or don't answer and how I answer it. I don't care.
Neither do I care that much. But if you keep on engaging with me that’s on you. It’s not like I ask you to.
Just don’t fabricate things and attribute them to me.
I know this is a nuance but I will try anyway. It does not mean I am offended by it, because being offended assumes that I care about what you think of me. However, when people say things about others those words have consequences and I am just not going to engage with the pedantics with you anymore.
Well that suits me as well. I’ve told you that before. But you’re the one who says one thing then does another.
You go on about being offended, but take some responsibility with what you post.
Why should I bother, you think I am a terrrorist sympathiser? Just understand that you can't make such statements and then expect a constructive dialogue.
You do as you like. Once again, it’s not what I think, it’s what you write. Obviously I’m not the only person to think that.
I’ll take responsibility for what I write. I don’t care if people agree with me, that’s their right.
But one thing I won’t take to, is when people like you and David, either take a piece of what I write and comment on that out of context or fabricate comments I didn’t make in an effort to make yourselves look righteous.
I won’t do that, I won’t try to weasel out of what I write, or deflect or change the narrative.
I’ll own it. Whether that is right or wrong in others eyes or they agree or disagree that’s on them.
Maybe you and David should do the same.
You write whatever you like, but if you give that impression to others by your writing and posting don’t blame me or others, as you’ve done. Look to what you actually write for us/them to he5 that impression.
I am learning that there isn’t much constructive dialogue to be had. Regardless of what statements I make.
Or anyone who has a different opinion or isn’t a pro Palestinian sympathiser.
You all just want people to agree with your own opinions. Never to have an opposing opinion. Point out your “righteousness” and the shortcomings of anyone else.
None want to answer any questions put to them, but always want answers in return.
Deflect, waffle and just fabricate whatever they like.
Whenever a poster with an opposing view posts something! It’s a quick glance, some obtuse reply and then ignore any facts put to them. As we’ve seen time and time again.
All the pro Palestinian posse like is their little lurking like tick flickers patting each other o; the back and condemning any one else.
Then having a whinge and a sook when they’re called out.
So really I couldn’t give a *smile* who engages with me. Or why they don’t.
”Bye”
