Do you think galveston75 is "talking of personalities" and do you find him doing it to be "depressing and predictable" too?

Originally posted by FMFIf you had been making him feel good about himself there would have been no need for him to state the things that he did, would there, whether it was justified as a consequence, you must decide for yourself.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo is that a yes or a no, from you, to the question 'do you think his criticism of my personality on the previous page was justified?' You seem to be saying that there was "need" for him to make his comments about my personality [as opposed to substantiating his claim that I have "an agenda of hatred", which he has pointedly declined to do]. Does this mean has remarks about my personality were warranted, in your view?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo we're not. I'm asking Galveston to substantiate his claim regarding FMF 's 'agenda of hatred'. You quite robustly stated that FMF had to substantiate his claim regarding Galveston's pessimism and now the boot is on the other foot suddenly Galveston doesn't have to do anything.
LOL and once again we are reduced to talking of personalities, how thoroughly depressing and predictable.
Originally posted by FMFall I am saying is that people react to the way we make them feel, whether it is warranted or otherwise.

Originally posted by Proper KnobAs I stated to FMF, obviously being habitually criticised, caricatured and having ones personality attacked does not endear oneself to the perpetrators, does it.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou're deliberately dodging the issue here. Why does FMF have to substantiate his claims yet Galveston doesn't?

Originally posted by Proper Knobok, he doesn't have to substantiate his claims, he can simply say what he likes and we must believe everything he says! Of course he does, as does Galveston, as do I, as do you, as does everyone.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIs it OK for everyone to "react to the way [people] make them feel" in the same way as galveston75 has done? It's just that you have been pretty critical of people making remarks about other people's personalities, especially recently. Are you only critical when 'other people' do it, or are you critical of galveston75 for doing it too?
all I am saying is that people react to the way we make them feel, whether it is warranted or otherwise.

Originally posted by FMFNo I am going to try to make Galveston and any others feel good about themselves, if it is within my powers. This does not mean that i need to compromise my stance, simply adapt my approach and make a few rhetorical tweaks here and there, well actually quite a bit, ok then a total and complete metamorphosis, but I am confident that it can be done.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo if making personal remarks about someone's personality makes galveston75 "feel good about" himself, then it is something you intend to encourage?
