Why do you “imagine what you said happened” On what basis, other then your “imagination” are you making that claim?

Anything to do with the tone of your buddy suzianne’s comment by any chance or just pure “imagination”?
Colloquialism is not your strong point, is it?

The misfits surround their Misfit Queen which she named herself. If you say something to her or even defend yourself against something she has said to you they try ganging up on you.

I've had the fun of doing so with them. Most can't keep up with my typing. 😉

I assure you that it is a direct reaction only to your personality.

I strongly disagree with you Pete, the way something is said can also give off a tone to it. I been bantering for years and know that to be very true. Also being a Clan member of the Misfits would mean you are bias when it comes to what is said. You didn't like my repsonse so big deal, perhaps yours wasn't quite desired either, just live with it.

It appears that you are now a disciple of divegeester now as well.

That explains a lot.

Unqualified opinion is just like that.

Everyone has one.

Entirely your imagination. It was a reaction to the tone of Rusty's reply to my original comment (and the fact that it completely missed my point imo). Read from there if you want it to make sense in context. The strength of the comment makes me sound overly certain about my speculation, but it is actually just a strong response to Rusty's irritating reaction. Posts have no tone of voice.
It’s fascinating how much of your crap is always Very Rusty’s fault.

Answering direct questions about your fantasies isn’t yours, is it.

from a BBC World News article:

John Bangs, the former head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said banter had become a "convenient word to cover up bullying and harassment".

"It's becoming a popular word which could cover up a whole host of more problematic meanings," he said.

"You might call it a cover word, to deflect any investigation into what you're doing if you're a kid who wants to get involved in something naughty."

Do we really take one man's word as the Gospel truth?

characterized by good-humored teasing.

Perhaps the dictionary will need to change the meaning of the word now....LOL...

Not sure I ever claimed to be reacting to Rusty before that post. So whose crap is this about?

Fire away, but don't expect more responses, life is too short.

I remember when you use to be your own man, now you've turned into one of Suzie Q's minions!

Would the moderator who removed my post tell me what I said against the TOS? Much appreciated. Can do it on here or in private makes no difference to me.

Google "banter" yourself and you'll find considerable discussion on reputable lexicography sites such as Merriam-Webster about the way that the friendly connotations have given way to a less pleasant meaning since many in the online community claim it's "only banter" when called out for sniping and personal remarks. I simply chose a short comment to make my point. Sorry if I thought a short comment was all that would be needed.

A banter when it suits seems to misfit you...
