Did I hurt your iddy-biddy feelings somewhere, is that it? Does he

big hug?

How could *you* hurt *my* feelings? I think you overestimate your
impact
on me.

My estimate is based on clear evidence, your obsessive dogging of my
tracks
attempting to find holes in my arguments. You have been trying for a
couple
of weeks, ever since I rebuffed your first attempts convince me I was
bullying SN.

Once again, you overestimate your impact on me. I choose to participate
here because I choose it.

That is tautological.

I choose it for a variety of reasons.

That is avoidance.

That you
make yourself the centre of my world is your choice.

The replies are TO ME.

We may be making headway in that you do seem to recognize that SN was
being bullied. Acknowledging that would be difficult, I imagine.

Again, you cannot resolve your insistence that people be left to their own
devices with your intervention in this case of so-called "bullying". SN is
clearly a voluntary participant or she would simply killfile the threads.
Such inconsistency is a signal that your thinking lacks a solid foundation.
I referred to it before as a failure to operate from your genuine self.

Wrong. She has clearly asked that she not be treated this way. Her
request has been ignored. she has clearly stated that she chooses to be
in this group to discuss other issues and not to be verbally abused. The
bullies just refuse to do what she wants.

Her choice is to participate in the group. It is coincidence that others
are acting in this way towards her.

4 bullies picking one person is just cowardice. Control freaks unite.
Before you misconstrue my intent, you have stated that denial needs to
be addressed. Feel free to continue to be abusive to SN, but I did want
to address your denial.
