"I have thought quite deeply about the dissemination of wilful misinformation on a forum like this..."

Not deep enough, Chicken, 'cos you have me so wrong. HOW can you possibly know what I mean by my words, Emma? We all interpret words differently, according to whether some of us have 'agendas' or not.

You have, seemingly, made up your mind, that I am a lying, manipulative human being.

I am anything but that.

You have been helped into this belief by others, who have very strong agendas, with regards to me. That is your decision entirely, your responsibility, as it is theirs.

You choose to see me always half empty, in more ways than one, when, in reality, I am actually always half full.


"...and, whether it has been examples of blatant racism, homophobic hate speech or just someone spouting on about some subject they know nothing about but can manipulate to fit in with some personal fixation, I think that there is a serious duty to discredit it."

It is, sometimes, extraordinarily difficult to get the right message from posts, if people read them in their own voice, and that voice is filled with anger, suspicion and bitterness. ALL will be coloured, accordingly.

Without facial, vocal intonation, no-one can actually derive the truthful meaning behind many messages on the internet.

You chose to go down this path, Emma. I did not ask you to. You chose to stand beside those who have taken my freedom of speech away, and who literally stalk me around the internet. I have no idea why they do this, other than I have dared to stand up to them, and they have it their way for so very long, that they cannot believe anyone has the right to do that.

I have every right.

I have been responsible for making mistakes on here and I have apologised, publicly for that, both to some posters, and to Joe, Max and Mick. I have had terrible things written about me, on Facebook, but someone on this forum, who purports to be the bees knees when it comes to caring about others, but who has never, ever had the guts to apologise for the things they have said about me, or my family.

I have had my intelligence insulted by so many, yet have never taken that same line with them, indeed I have actually stated that they are intelligent people.

I will leave you to continue down the path you have chosen to walk, but please, take the responsibility for walking down that, yourself.
