Rae, I've read the reply JIK has given to this post of yours about an hour ago. and here is my humble advice. Some people are not thinking clearly and are not able to distill nuances of the written posts and only hear what they want to hear based upon their own fears or fantasies. Others are folks who actually just "get off" on argumentative interactions because that raises cortisol levels in the brain along with another whole cascade of brain chemicals. These people are addicted to their own brain chemicals and need their fix. Or they are deliberately looking to cause consternation among posters because they get a buzz from that too. You may be pounding sand on this one. Sometimes its best to let these folks just think what they want to think... and let it go.
It is also possible that there are "plants" paid by corrupt elements, with a goal of ratcheting up the crazy-factor in order to discredit the truth. Ignoring them is more productive. Maybe calling them out and suggesting they tell their supervisors they've been noticed(?) ...a thought.
Entirely possible. El Gato Malo has the right to ban JIK from additional posting should he decide the disruptively repetitive posting has gone on long enough. Its a private site and we are just guests here, so not our call. As guests we can also choose to just not read or engage any further posts from people who are either not mentally/emotionally OK or are obviously purposefully disruptive. I enjoy reading and responding to many of the folks who post on Bad Cattitude, so my choice is to skip right over and NOT read any further posts from this person and decline any further interaction. JIK can pound sand.
Forgiveness is a gift that is given, not demanded. Not shamed into existence.
The CDC's version of an apology was a promise to just go faster and harder next time. And they do promise a next time. It's not over.

Thanks Helen. I'm sure you're correct.

I appreciate El Gato Malo and people like you, too. It helps us realize we are not so alone as our oppressors want us to believe we are.
You'd think that a commenter who is so proud and bullying in their religiosity would know when they are preaching to the choir. Alas. Ephesians 5:11
We know about Mass Formation Psychosis. It seems like some traumatized people have glombed on to an equal and opposite reflex version. Understandable.
Hi again JIK, Feel better now?
