quote:
I don't know if you're being willfully ignorant of your own actions or just conveniently not remembering them. Either way, here is the Reader's Digest version of what you've been doing and perhaps why it is making people respond the way they have. 1. You state your belief about a subject (such as how a bisexual person could never be satisfied in a monogamous relationship because they would be missing something from such a relationship). There is no such statement on this thread made by me. This quote has been ascribed to me in error. There was a post some time ago in which i asked questions about switches, and people were kind enough to answer. i cannot learn unless i ask questions. Perhaps that is what you're thinking of. quote:
2. A significant number of people try to explain to you that your suppositions are incorrect and give details and explanations why, all based on years and years of real-life experience. Since i never made any statement about bisexual women, i wasn't able to process any corrections. Again, you may be thinking about the thread on switches; it did take me awhile to get the whole picture. quote:
3. You make what you consider to be a sincere apology for believing what you do then immediately flip 180 degrees and discount their real-life experience in and continue to go on about how you just can't understand their views so they are most likely mistaken. i made no statement denigrating anyone's life choices. Such statements were ascribed to me, and i apologised, thinking i had inadvertently made some stray remark. However, i have re-read the thread and no, i made no such statements. IMO, the angst this thread has generated has been entirely due to the disapproval other people displayed towards me and my life choices. The posts made by brightspot and MercnBeth are prime examples. It reached such a cresendo Mod 11 posted that there are no "CM community values" so i could not have violated them. So many people could just not accept that i was inflexible about a bisexual encounter. i believe it was amvdp who described bisexuality as a "pleasant experience". i am a bit amazed that intelligent, well-read and experienced people can think i should substitute their judgment for my own; or that a straight woman would find a bisexual experience "pleasant". quote:
4. They try to explain again. i agree; there's quite a bit of redundancy in this thread. i speak; others complain; i explain and apologise (even though i have done nothing wrong); they complain some more. It really seems as if no one can add anything of value anymore. And then lastly, here you come and provide this analysis. i must say, i appreciate it in part because it has helped me clarify what happened on this thread. However, you seem to hold to the same position as others; whatever i choose for myself is somehow offensive to others. i simply cannot process that, stef. i'm sorry -- i know you were trying to be helpful. candystripper
