I'm talking about her currently being voiceless because she is banned and can't respond.

She's the exception, not the rule. Unless you can bring up others?

She isn't the exception. Roxy is technically the other one this same thing applied to. Also, it does happen all the time as far as someone disagreeing with another's opinion. Well more so in the current events section. It happens on both sides. I've even done it myself but I don't completely write the person off and try to keep the discussion going back and forth. When you get heated talking politics it happens. I've seen it with Chula Vs Frownland, well Chula vs. Everyone when they decide to gang up on him for his blind loyalty to Hillary.

So what you're saying is that anyone can say anything and nobody should get upset if it's a lie or at least inaccurate? Are we all robots???

If you know you aren't something that someone says you are. Being upset isn't going to change the persons thoughts about you even if it's a lie. I've been on the opposite side of this many times. You have to just accept that, that's what the other person thinks of you and decides to go running off at the mouth and telling others about you. You don't have to be a robot but it's a good life lesson to learn to control your reaction to what others say because you know the truth and you can't change their perception of you.

If she wasn't clarifying or explaining then why did you keep responding to her? Why go on for pages back and forth with her then? She would bring up valid points besides just those things you said. I know because I have gotten into my share of arguments with her as well. She is just opinionated like I am. I have quoted numerous posts of hers and gone back and forth. I was able to keep it civil without going off the handle and insulting her. At least Neo was nice enough to keep his thoughts about her civil but since she isn't around to defend herself it's open season and everyone and their mother thinks it's okay to keep throwing dirt on her name.

This is not a forum unfriendly to females, just loons.

Oh is that why we can count the number of female posters that are currently active/semi active on one hand? Because we are so forum friendly to females.
Keep dreaming man.
