I think the massive hypocrisy displayed by both 'sides' is embarrassing. Each accuses the other of objectionable conduct, seemingly oblivious that they themselves are doing the very same thing.
They are the petulant children I am referring to, and they are not 'this forum'. I stopped posting on this thread because I didn't like the place I was being taken. I've started posting again because after reflecting I think I can avoid making the same mistakes.
Isn't that both an exaggeration on one hand and misdirection in another? I caught you telling the Gold Collapsing thread "Relax, let it happen" re: XT, which I think minimally placed you in the position of all the other ignorant coercers.
It's also interesting to note that you are willing to personalise your arguments in much the same way that you simultaneously cite as a mark of disrepute, and yet don't have the courage to talk to the objects of your contempt directly. You'll notice I'm talking directly to you now, about your cynical, hypocritical petulance.
