[QUOTE=Kizzy;8314426]'I was not slating all Muslims - neither the religion nor the people - but stating a plain fact about SOME which I KNOW of from my own direct experience, so your over-reaction is really uncalled for.

Incidentally, the way that certain posts on here ALWAYS attract applause emoticons from certain members REGARDLESS of any truth or merit or lack of them, in the post, is both predictable AND laughable.'

"As is Red and myself, what makes your opinion and experience any more valid than ours?... It doesn't therefore your constant challenges and defamation of our perspective is disingenuous."


What does this which I underscored actually mean?

WHERE DID I SAY THAT MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE IS ANY MORE VALID THAN YOURS? Stick to facts, your constant misrepresenting is wearing.


"I agreed with RD and I used an applause emoticon if this is directed at me I feel that is both rude and unfair, I do agree with the comments made and it is not for you to judge her experiences."


I could not care less who you so predictably agree with. And if I the cap fits wear it, because DID I NAME YOU?

My point is that how can one agree with a response post which MISINTERPRETS the points made in the original post which it is responding to? Especially when the author of that original post has taken the time and trouble to reply and point out such misinterpretations?

Still agreeing after the above, shows not empathy through a shared point of view, but bigotry purely because such a response is against the original poster.

"The applause emoticon is used regularly by yourself too as I recall therefore I find your comment a tad hypocritical."


Another blatantly false statement based on convenient supposition NOT facts. Yes I use the applause emoticon regularly, but not in any sheep-like manner to merely support members who I like or who hold the same political opinions that I do, I applaud posts ONLY where I GENUINELY regard such posts as being meritorious - no matter WHO is posting them.

I have applauded posts by your good self, Joey Steele, Demolition Red, ToySoldier, Cherie, and a host of other members - NONE of whom particularly share my politics or other views.

However, I notice that despite me regularly being among the MOST applauded on here for my posts - if not THE most applauded - YOU have never seen fit to applaud ANY of my posts. I would say that is more 'telling' than 'coincidence' and just corroborates the very point I made in my post which you are decrying and responding to.
