[quote=bearishgurl]zk, I apologize here if you feel I was trying to make you “look bad.” Your main concern here seems to be that I was [/quote]
Really? You really think my main concern is you were trying to make me “look bad?”

That is truly ridiculous. My main concern is, obviously, that you made a bunch of stuff up. You lied. About me.

If you want me to accept an apology of yours, apologize for making stuff up.

Apologizing “if [I] feel” a certain way is not an apology for anything you did.

You have yet to even acknowledge the clearly demonstrated fact that you made stuff up. Since you don’t seem capable of even understanding that you’ve made stuff up, I have serious doubts that you can refrain from doing it in the future. And I think that’s bad for this forum.

[quote=bearishgurl] but, honestly, I really don’t have the time or desire for those kinds of BS games (especially now) and nothing could be further from the truth. The reality was that I saw an opportunity to “yank your chain” a little because your initial posts on the “tidy” thread clearly stated that you were frustrated with some aspects of living with your “tidy” partner because you were a lifelong “messy person” (“reformed” or not).

Yank my chain all you want, but don’t make stuff up in order to do it. It should be clear that what I’m disgusted about is not you yanking my chain or trying to make me look bad. It should be clear that why I think you should be banned is that you’re making stuff up. I don’t know how to put it any more clearly. I can’t even imagine how you can’t see that from my last 4 or 5 posts. And particularly from the original post on this thread. So let me make it perfectly clear:

bg, I don’t care if you yank my chain. I don’t care if you try to make me look bad. If you don’t lie, then I either look bad or good on my own merits, and there’s not much you can do to change that. All I care about is that you don’t lie about me or about what I said .

There. Even you should be able to understand that. It’s not complicated at all.

[quote=bearishgurl] And there’s nothing wrong with that. But before the thread was even noticed by me, you (rather self-righteously) ranted on and on here in-finitum about all the ways you disagree that “tidiness” has anything to do with one’s character. (I respectfully disagree in that in some cases, tidyness (or lack thereof) has a lot to do with one’s character and we are all entitled to our own opinions.) All of your words here speak for themselves. [/quote]

I’m perfectly willing to let my words speak for themselves. It’s when you make up words for me that I have a problem.
