Hi Percy,

Message 276
I’m sorry you had to be bothered, I know you are busy. Thank you for unsuspending me.
But you instead stated that your purpose was to pursue an individual, and your signature was addressed directly to Schraf.
What do you mean here? What statement and signature are you referring to?
I think he sensed your closing comment alluding to diminished mental capacity was a dangerous escalation.
I think he suspended me because he thinks I’m a jerk. I was completely done with my conversation with Schraf after Phat warned me. The escalation was entirely her fault for bringing it back up. And she called me a liar too. And misrepresented me.
It is possible suspension was perhaps not necessary, that a warning might have been sufficient, but there is no way to know for sure.
Maybe not, but let me tell you that the suspension was totally unnecessary and a warning was already sufficient for me. Perhaps she should have been warned as well, no?
So the end result is that you were suspended for a short while and Schraf wasn't, and I'm sorry if that seems unfair.
You don’t need to apologize; Moose should be the one doing that. Honestly, I don’t really feel like I’m entitled to an explanation, so thank you for doing it regardless. I’m a guest here and can be suspended whenever for whatever reason. If I don’t like it then I just will have to not come back. It seems like you are a bit nicer than this, though.
If you're here because you're fascinated by the topics, you'll do fine.
That is why I am here and I’m sure I’ll do fine. Rest assured that I will.
But if you're here because you're outraged by some of the participants, then you'll probably often be engaged in some kind of brinkmanship that has the potential to end as this incident did.
Outrage is not why I’m here but sometimes it does occur after I’ve already come. I’ve had problems with Schraf’s posts in the past and I’m sure I’ll have problems with them again. I don’t normally have a problem ignoring her but when/if she makes a ridiculous argument against a position that I agree with and her opponent does not realize how ridiculous it is, how am I to point it out when her style of presenting the argument is inflammatory to begin with?
And on top of that, when I did try to be nicer, she misrepresented my position and accused me of avoiding a “good rebuttal”. Now, I really would like to settle the argument we were having but it was off topic for that thread. Where should the argument continue?
Schraf?
