You shouldn't bother. I've never asked to be pleased.
That was not an example of how to dialogue with someone. It is an example of telling someone off:
"And here comes your true colors"
Suggests that I have some other motive than to engage in conversations. Answering messages that have been directly addressed to me. Alan started it with asking me directly if I knew Anneke, and that is how the whole ball got rolling.
"You appear to have a very low opinion of people here"
No I don't. I have a very low opinion of anyone who engages in some of the behavior I've complained about. But, that does not include all of the people here.
"I always get this feeling from these statements that you are here to help us cult survivors because we are obviously weak minded since we got in a cult and stayed in it whereas you didn't
you've said something like that before."
That's a flat out lie. You've told it so many times that you've started believing it. It's incorrect, and inflammatory. It may be what you think, but it is not what I have ever said.
"No one that I know wants to do any witch burning and for you to suggest that is only adding fuel to the fire."
If there is not going to be a witch burning, then why do we have a fire?
"Now let us make our ammends and do the dialogue we wish to do without you trying to start more fires."
If there is a fire going on, it is over Anneke and Ron's remarks. I didn't make them. I will not accept the blame.
"I believe the people here should be apologized to for this statement. And your statement that people here do not know how to handle an apology is so trite and judgmental. "
I should apologize for thinking that people here don't now how to accept an apology? Now that's some circular logic.
