Well, this is Flame, so probably it does belong here.
You started a topic several days ago, on this board where I understand tough debate is allowed. I have personal knowledge on this topic. I disagreed with your position, and you became more and more extreme. When I called you on it by taking your extreme position to its logical end point, instead of replying with an argument, you called me ridiculous, brought up my personal feelings and had the audacity to suggest that my reply to you was a result of depression. Of course, I would have to be somehow unhinged to disagree with you!
And you say I was hateful?? That was manipulative and cruel. Not to mention arrogant.
That's what I expect an apology for: your behavior. That specific incident. I posted it under your somewhat disorganized rant on Community because Community is supposed to be a place to address people's feelings, as I understand it. Instead, you came to Flame and made cute, oblique references to me as being the cause of ER's departure (and you know what? No, it isn't), when what you really want is for me to shut up, unless I agree with you. You prove that with your unsupportable accusations at the top of your post, above.
You made a reply to me about leg-trappers in a thread subsequent to the ridiculous-girl-must-be-crazy thread that added nothing to the discussion except gasoline and matches. I was succinct, and deliberately rude, in my reply, but again, it was Flame. If you would like a different reply, I can provide one: Don't provoke someone and expect it to go unchallenged.
Is that what "this HZ" is? Dog-Faced Boy is the pet eccentric, so he can say whatever he wants, but if I stand up to him I'm a crazed stalker? Well, that's straight from the stable floor. The day I'm scared of you they'll put me in a wooden box. But if it comforts you to think I'm quaking in my little virtual boots, fine.
If you intend to stay out of my way, please do. That includes the cute remarks on the side, because if you talk about me as if I'm not in the room, I will speak up.
On the other hand, we can mend fences if you want. I'll put away my rapier, and you put away your psychoanalyst's shingle, and we'll be square.

- Making it up, eh? And you two, of all people, are going to call me on it?
- It only took one person and the invective got quite personal.
- Your threat of departure is apparently happening at the same time as a return of a number of exceptional zoners.
- Re: Making it up, eh? And you two, of all people, are going to call me on it?
- C'mon ER
- Most of us really enjoy the way you demolish their BS so thoroughly.
- Just follow the NRA's advice, ER...
- Quotation marks make all the difference
- Do you guys just flip a coin to choose between Flame and CurrentVents?
- So, is it still always like this, or is this a special party because I came back?
- You're really back?
- Calling someone a liar often triggers an emotional response.
- Not always.
