Maklelan Contemplates A Lawsuit

[_harmony]

Now I should thank Scratch? I can't believe I'm reading this.

Certainly! Don't you know the fine art of messing with someone? Geez, Mak. Learn from an important mentor (that would be Daniel, not me...) the fine art of poking someone while maintaining the facade of innocence. And learn who is important to listen to when they're being critical of you, and who isn't (According to Daniel, I'm in the DO NOT LISTEN TO HER box, so beware of anything I say, even if it sounds appropriate. I am the Witch here, and in other places too).

There are a few people I will hear when they are critical of me. Scratch isn't one; neither are Pahoran, Droopy, marg, JAK, or Will. I'll hear Jersey every time (we have a history together), and Trixie/Beastie always (same deal... we have a history together). I'll always hear Jason Bourne, mainly because he's one of the finest men I've ever met via the internet. He ranks right up there with Walker from my Fringe days. Daniel? Sometimes. David Bokovoy? Almost always. Merc? Almost never. Liz? Always. Rocket? Almost never. I wear no specific hat, except that of harmony, who trusts God more than any man.

Just ramblin'. Ignore as it suits you.

Mak -

Part of what Scratch engages in is parody. I may be wrong, but I think that probably explains some of the tone of this post, as well.

Other than that, I agree that you didn't seem to threaten a lawsuit at all, although you clearly over-reacted, from what you've shared here. I also agree that any references to your criminal activity should make it clear that it was in the past.

Since I rarely defend Scratch, it might help if you try to find a different explanation. Perhaps (as is the case), I was trying to help you see that your past is part of you, that you learned many valuable lessons from your past, that it is what makes you the person you are today.

And not a word of that scuttled across Scratch's mind when he wrote "self-admitted forger." I'm well aware of what those experiences mean to me, and that discussion is quite distinct from this one.

Hi, Maklelan! Hope you've been well! And yes: I know that your mentioning of your checkered past is terrific propaganda for the Church. You've made it quite clear that you repeatedly mention this stuff in an effort to show everyone that the Church is true.

You have great insight into many things, because of your past. You should thank him (although it's okay to snipe at him for his delivery).

Now I should thank Scratch? I can't believe I'm reading this.

That's okay, Mak. You don't have to thank me. I'll just know deep in my heart that I've done my good deed for the day.

If you could produce at least two or more examples of me bringing up this aspect of my past outside of this thread and the original thread (from over a year ago) to which your allusion refers, then you can say I "repeatedly mention this stuff." If you cannot produce another example, then this is another example of how dishonest you have to be to prop up these idiotic accusations.

I happen to know you can produce no such thing, and that you simply made up the idea that I "repeatedly mention this stuff." I do not repeatedly mention this stuff, and it's only been brought up when it has been germane to an argument. You have no specific examples in mind to which you can quickly refer, and it's not worth it to you to actually go looking for them, so you'll simply abandon the accusation and move on to another. It's infantile rhetoric, and I'll thank you to refrain from such dishonesty when you speak to or about me in the future.

That's okay, Mak. You don't have to thank me. I'll just know deep in my heart that I've done my good deed for the day.

Make glib quips if it helps you to feel better about your comments, but stop lying about me.

Hi, Maklelan! Really, there's no need to expand your "repeatedly mention[ing] this stuff" beyond this thread or the original. So long as you "repeatedly mentioned" the stuff in those two threads along, then you did, in fact, "repeatedly mention" them.

Frankly, I'm stunned at the anal-retentive attitude you're displaying here. What's so shocking is that you would behaving this way, despite having told us (dare I say....repeatedly?) that you really and truly aren't the sort of hyper-sensitive, anal-retentive person who would contemplate a lawsuit over a messageboard post.

Foul! Over the line!

He didn't mention anything about a lawsuit.

I hope that little semantic puppet show doesn't actually make you feel like you've vindicated your accusation.

I really don't care. Stop lying about me.

I'm surprised that you think I'm stupid enough to bite at such a pathetic attempt at patronization. You really cannot act like a grownup, can you?
