(9,111 posts)I addressed all of 298, in as full detail as possible, with as many facts (opinions, ideas) as possible, so you know where I'm coming from. I said the points and ideas where I thought you were right, and said the points where I thought Red and sea were right. As a non-judge and non-jury member on DU, that's all I can do. It seemed to me like angry revenge and vituperation from you because both us boys (or men) shined in on this thread, which was asking for women's opinions, and sea is a woman, so it's her home court. If you post a male-issue op (I suggested it before), I'll show up to post. If I like it, I'll rec it, like I recced this op. I'll stick up for anyone I think is right. Maybe you will be pleasantly surprised, and find out this gender war is over.
You are free to doubt me, this is America (maybe you're in the Neatherlands, but they're pretty free, and you're American). But it stretches credulity to posit that I'm secretly a woman, involved in misrepresenting myself as a man, to lull you into false expectations of sincerity and impartial fairness. Try typing Mike Mc or Mc Mike into the search box, top left. I usually don't shine in on Women's issues at all on this site, but still recommend VOCHOICE.org to my allies that fight against the repug 1%'s War on Women.
I've gone to great lengths to explain my side with you, arguments, ideas theories. My side is not 100% the same as Red and Sea's necessarily, but they've both been very polite to me. They are everything could ask for in a 99% issue ally. They and I don't have a past, like you and they have. If I did, I wouldn't seek their thread out, because nobody is changing anybody's mind, and nobody will hit ignore or declare armistice. Check out Red's response to my initial reply to your #298. I'll take that kind of 'condescension' anytime, it's actually regal. Your ideas tell me that you also are a good 99% issue ally, and I never throw away a good ally without a lot more cause than my perception of your anger has given me. Even if they give me a rolly eye icon, to boot. We don't disagree on a terribly large amount of ideas, as far as I can see.
