Dear Rhoni: I'm Being Harassed and Bullied by an AFF pos[t]er

There is no need for the condescension because Carp didn't know Darcie & DA are siblings! Apart from that small gaffe, I think his comments were okay....provocative, but not terribly rude or out of line, especially considering DA's publicly presented and commonly known philosophies and beliefs.

Personally, I think its kind of silly to have an intimate conversation on a public forum, and then protect one another from commentary like those reading shouldn't have had an opinion. Take it to PM, or let it be public fodder. You can't have it both ways.

In my opinion, Darcie was persnickety in her first little comment to Rico, saying, "Exactly, Rico, you don't know...." (Or it seemed that way to me.) If we don't know...then fill us in? If its private, then keep it that way. Or put a warning at the beginning of the thread to "Read, but Don't Comment Unless You Know All the Details."

DA, you're blunt and rough, so you shouldn't get mad when its returned to you, and Carp didn't attack your sister...he challenged what you posted, therefore you weren't defending her in your posts. (Or, if you were, there was no need for it.)

And are you really going to stick with the idea that you expect folks to tread lightly around your family? Your sister can gain her own respect. It works better that way.

Silliness. :shifty

It wasn't "intimate." It was more like, "Way to be, that's great..." To me it seemed like someone had a gripe against Dan and jumped in with a "there you go again" type of statement.

The stuff about the Bectons was unhelpful and evidence of an a priori critical mindset.

I think if Dan gets on your nerves then you should take him to task on the specifics. In this case it turned out the specifics didn't warrant taking Dan to task. But still we must slap him around because we demand that Dan be the exemplar of virtue while we try and placate those who want to see more slapping around?

But in the end, you are correct, "silliness."

I never once said that Dan gets on my nerves. I happen to like Dan. A little bit. :heeheehee

Not you, I meant in general. :)

Well... I think in this case that what Daniel said specifically got on Carp's nerves and he responded to that specifically in his post. Not that I speak for Carp, but that's what I read. :)

And then Carp's post got on Daniel's nerves, and, well....:bolt

What planet do you post on? If this was the expectation of DA he would be a miserable failure as would be we all.

As for the Becton comment and a pirori critical mindset, that goes both ways. I believe the implication that Darcie and her sweet family "moving into grace", an implication that they were leaving that which was not grace, prompted the Becton/Apostolic comment. If it was the result of the priori critical mindset it was prompted by the mirror image in the typical tone of DA's posts.

In my opinion this is offsetting penalties and we should replay the down!:D

Phil used a *gasp* football analogy.
