Rather than bury you with massive posts, which hasn't been my intent, I'm going to break your posts down into paragraphs and respond to them in multiple posts. That will allow you to respond much easier. I appologize for the size of the first two posts. I want to fully flesh out my thoughts, but I don't want to post those masive sized posts.

You should go back and read your original comment I responded to and then read my one paragraph.

Not only did I go back and re-read my comments, I actually copied them and posted them after your complaints, so that I could address them right there where the complaints were made. You may disagree with my responses, but I have tried to be as forthright as was humanly possible.

You “credit” me for writing much more than than I wrote and you stated things I never said, which is very much like lying if not an out right lie.

This is how I see it. You say something like, my favorite color is blue mixed with yellow. I respond with the idea that you have stated you like green, and you get upset because you never said that. No, you never actually said that you liked green. You just stated it in such a manor that you could deny that you said you like green. Okay, you never said you like green. You just like blue mixed with yellow. Please forgive me. Sheesh!

You leave an impression with others I’ve made derogorotory comments that I’ve never made.

Do you have any idea why I brought your original comments and my original responses over, then responed to your complaints? It was so people could read them right by your complaint, read my response, and come to their own conclusion. I didn't leave anyone with an impression. Any impressions they took away from their reading of the information, was based on your original comments, my original reponse, your complaint, and my reaction to it. You tell me if there is any way whatsoever to offer up a more reasoned transparent process. You think I have been extremely unfair to you. I think I have gone way out of my way to be extremely fair to you. If your complaints are valid, folks will come away thinking I'm not being fair. If your complaints aren't valid, folks will come away thinking you're unreasoned.

Folks will make their own determinations, and that is exactly how it should be. How can you possibly object to this?

I made one comment that though I regret I stand by, the “OVER ZEALOUS HALL MONITOR” comment. I believe that comment to be an accurate, descriptive comment in the context I used it. I don’t believe any rational person would take that comment in the context I used it and conclude it was an attack on Santorum’s character or religeon or religeous beliefs.

I did not make the case that you had made an attack on Santorum's character, religion, or religious beliefs. I did make some reasoned comments about you buying into the idea that his public comments based on his moral views made him an "over zealous hall monitor". I then equated that with you and others determining he was not a viable candidate based on that alone.

I likened it to assessing him to be a "goody-goody two shoes". Once again, it's my take that you stated you like green. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

Blue and Yellow do equal Green. That I like Santorum because he is a Social Conservate and that I like Newt better because he has voted Socially Conservative and Fiscally Conservative and that I don’t think Santorum is Presidential DOES NOT equal the comments you said I must have THOUGHT about SANTORUM. It means I’d rather have Newt. PEROID, I”M NOT AGAINST SANTORUM, I’M FOR NEWT.

You mentioned my “populist tactic”, what kind of tactic is all this blue green crap? You take a simple statement and turn iy into what you want me to have said so you can in your condescending way attack my “OUTRAGEOUS” statement. If you hadn’t been blindly attacking Conservatives that don’t agree with you, this whole exchange wouldn’t have happened. I don’t care how you say it you are attributing things to me that I have not said or even thought.I don’t care that you’ve divided up my statements I’ve read enough of this. I believe any RATIONAL person who read your original post, my response, and your response would agree that your reaction is irrational. I nreally don’t have time for this kind of blather.
