Default Re: I Give Up

Mc, what did I win? Was I entered in a drawing I didn't know about? When did you become a victim? Mc, I know I have never attacked you on a personal level. We've met a couple of times and really liked each other. We fully agree on the political forum. I've always respected your opinions. So I know you're not referring to the Political Forum.

I have to assume you're talking about the Horse Park debate. So here's how that went down. Paraphrase here: You said "many people pm'd you that were afraid to post because they didn't want to be put down." I misunderstood and thought you said "friends". Only because 99.9 percent of the people that pm me are, indeed, friends. My point was (whether they are "friends" of yours or not, I think that people that secretly pm objections and are afraid to post because they might be "put down" show a misconception of what a "debate" is about and, yes indeedy, lack character. I still believe that and that's not going to change.

Example: Lil Dancer and I did not agree on the Horse Park, but we agreed to disagree. We still like each other, nothing personal. Just a debate.

How many times do you think I've been verbally beaten up on this forum. Countless! Do I feel bad sometimes? Of course I do. That's only human nature. Then I look at it objectively and realize, and as I've always said, this is NOT personal. This is a debate. Maybe a heated debate, but a debate none the less.

Heck, I still like Muncle and read his posts and he goes for my jugular every chance he gets!

The only Post I've ever pulled was the one I started on the Buffalo's. I was ranting (LOL)
surprise! but what bothered me on that post is that it started to get way too nasty between other TOTV'ers. And, believe this or not, I did not want to be the harbinger of bad feelings. And I still got slammed for pulling it down.

Hey, I know you to be a tough, opinionated lady. That's what makes for a good debate. Don't let go of that.
