>> I've seen plenty of comments by Antiseptic which disgust me.... rather I reject the claim that it's a one way flow <<

Has the correlation between Antiseptic's continual disparagement of women in general and any posters who have the temerity to disagree with Antiseptic, gone completely over your head?

In addition, I find your claim that you find many of Antiseptic's comments truly disgusting, completely disingenuous - else you would recommend them for deletion. I tend not to use the deletion option purely in order to let Anti's words define the truth of the man. But what is stopping you from walking the walk instead of just talkin'?

Severin:"Has the correlation between Antiseptic's continual disparagement of women in general and any posters who have the temerity to disagree with Antiseptic, gone completely over your head?"

Has the correkation between the anti-Antiseptic group's continual disparagement of men in general and any posters who have the temerity to agree with antiseotic gone completely over your head?

So it seems, dear, Perhaps a bit more consideration of your kneejerk response is in order?

Yes, well I'm feeling rather neglected lately, since Col Rouge took his leave, I mean! I think it only fair that some of the spleen is reserved for me! After all, I try to upset everyone, and not just the ladies!
Maybe it's time for some people to do a doctor who, and change identity; familiarity breeds contempt. There's obviously a bit of history behind the blood-letting. I find Antiseptic's posts mostly very shrewd, but there is without doubt a thick strip of misogyny there.
On the other hand, some of the ladies (no names) are also men haters, or seem incapable of stepping outside their insular little world views. It seems we're either mannered or ill-mannered. My recommendation is that we all make a conscious decision to let go of our cherished perspectives and bugbears and think outside the square, or in this case outside the gender. Indeed, I'm much more interested in the world, and that perennial philosophical question, 'how should we live?', than I am in paddling my own canoe. It's having our thinking seriously challenged that makes us grow; must we always defend that wicket at any cost, even when we know we were out? As Gilchrist showed us, it's infinitely more noble to walk!
I look forward to walking! Dismantle my arguments and reveal my asinine thinking, and I'll thank you for liberating me from myself! We can't all be right, indeed it's a safe bet that we're all wrong.
Anyway, in the interests of peace and enlightenment.

Severin the same thing that stops me from recommending a lot of other posts for deletion. I considered it for a couple of recent posts by Antiseptic which attacked you for being childless as I considered them to be very low.

I generally only use the recommend for deletion button when posts include threat's of violence or similar ( and blatant spam ). Like you I'd prefer to see most of the other stuff remain so that those posting such comments have to live with the record.

My comment was not a defense of Antiseptic but rather a rejection of the brazen claim that Antiseptic (although unnamed) is never subjected to similar attacks.

You've just put yourself on the side of the apostate. Anyone who disagrees with Severin, foxy, et all, must definitionally be "defective". Well done you for putting yourself on the side of the "angels", regardless of their claim to preferment. No doubt you'll get lots of "affirmations", wahtever it is you've said...

Dear Antiseptic,

Not true!

Our views aren't set in concrete.
The difference is, we admit when
we're wrong, and we apologise for
our mistakes. You never do!

Kindly don't project your reality onto
us. The problem is yours. You speak
with anger and malice, and you set
out to deliberately provoke, insult,
and demean.

Dear Squeers,

At last a voice of reason.
I fully agree with you that it is
important to be conscious and
compassionate and act with great
civility, however if you've spoken
your mind without malice or anger but
just from the depths of your own truth,
then I think it's only fair not to forsake
your own wisdom. It is important to be
secure and unafraid of speaking your own
mind - regardless of who may not like what
you have to say.
