All right, all of you. I did not attack Bionca. I did not say she was stupid, unreasonable, or talked mishmash, or picked her nose, or anything like those.
1. I did say I found her depressing which is my overall take on her and I am entitled to state my opinion. Is "depressing" all that bad ? 2. I also said she enjoyed the role of victim -- I did not say she "played" the role of victim, that was said by another. For example, if I said "Richard Nixon had a role in Watergate", does that mean that he was playing? Hell no, it means he was involved in it; he took part, he participated.

Now I am glad that Bionca has some chivalrous knights to come galloping to her defense, but I think she does well enough on her own, although she did mistakenly attribute the "playing" bit to me also. I too have enjoyed her posts as she is informative, articulate, intelligent, and provides a unique viewpoint for this forum, even if it is depressing to me hearing what crap she has had to endure. It is damn depressing to hear about the atrocities of the Nazis in the concentration camps or how the Japenese used the Chinese people as human guinea pigs at Harbin; but I still want to know about them.

Nixon, Nazis, Japanese?

And here was me thinking this was just about one member choosing to knock another.

You didn't attack Bionca? You didn't imply she plays a role?

This is what you wrote:

As for Bionca - I find her depressing, she seems to enjoy the role of "victim" and I find myself snorting at her signature line about hating being braver than the guys she dates.

"The role of ... "

"Victim" (in quotation marks)

These kinda imply you see her as embellishing or, to use the parlance you disdain, "playing", a role. No?

Further, you rhetorically ask: "Is 'depressing' bad?" Well, you seem to think so ... otherwise, why point it out, as you originally did, about another member? And why claim to "snort" at Bionca's signature?

What you said was very confrontational and smug-sounding. Anyone in their right mind can see that. If you had truly wanted to express yourself in a polite, non-hostile way, you could have added some positives to your original remarks (rather than coming out with some after the fact). Or said nothing at all.

Finally, the claim that Bionca has "chivalrous knights" coming to her defence? Pure jealousy. If Bionca has people willing to defend her, it's because she has engendered herself to them with her words and her deeds. Food for thought.
