(9,106 posts)satisfy. Therefore, you're saying to her, in a subthread on her op, that she should not talk to you. Simple logic. Your command of similes is awesome, though, thanks for typing them all in. I'll bookmark this in case I come across a difficult crossword puzzle clue on the subject.
You pretend that you don't understand or believe you're behaving rudely, and pretend in the same post that mad is crying for sympathy and spouting nonsense. So you pretend rude things about her, and pretend you're not rude simultaneously.
Your many posts in this thread are not to the 'so many folks' engaging in the debate, they are to mad, over and over again, saying the same exact thing. 'Spreading misinformation' (#42), 'speaking nonsense' (79), 'Misleading o.p' (43), 'wrong again' (53) 'again misinfo' (119), your repetitive accusations add nothing to the conversation, they just act towards derailing it.
As a teacher for grades 7 through college, you seem to lack reading comprehension skill, as the o.p. doesn't say that CC is an evil plot, it says that the combination of CC and high-stakes testing is a threat to all public education. (Though there is some good info on the organizations behind the genesis of cc standards which mad posted several months ago, I remember.) Since you've been here since '06, why hasn't your duty to set things straight re mad's 'misinfo' manifested itself before now? She's posted tens of thousands of o.p.s on education, your duty should have resulted in a much higher post count for you by now.
In short, you're using the rules in a very lawyer-ly way, zealously violating the spirit of the law while abiding by the letter, else your disruptive uncivilty would have resulted in some alerts on you.
As a teacher-professor, you're obviously of above-average intelligence. So I was wondering, have you figured out if mad was a teacher yet? Or were you just trying to say that you believe she's a long-term mole who's been disguising herself as a long-time teacher who cares about public education? If the latter is true, I notice you made your accusation that she's been lying here for over a decade into a very inocuous toss-off line. If that interpretation of your statement is correct, I'd have to say you put the accusation in a very lawyer-like manner, why don't you utilize some of your patented gall and come right out and say it? I'd be more than happy to hit my first alert ever on such an honestly open accusation on your part.
But of course, I won't hold my breath waiting for you to be honest.
