And a lot of shit I never said nor implied. You need to take a step back and get some perspective. I'm very much against you telling Gatekeeper how he should behave himself. I'm also very much against him telling you the same thing. THAT is what my problem is here. I have absolutely no issue with MAPTherapy nor your support of him being here. My issue is with the fact that you have an issue with people who don't support him and are even opposed to him being here. You have no right to be telling other people what feelings they should have, politely or not.

I am not telling Gatekeeper how he should feel, especially since I likely feel the same things in most cases. What I was talking about was his behavior, and if we have "no right" to tell people that we disapprove of their behavior, then maybe we should sit back and say nothing when the racists, misogynists, misandrists, and anti-Semanticists roll in here and start spewing their venom, and maybe you shouldn't tell me when you disapprove of something I say or do, because you "do not have the right." What's good for the goose has to be good for the BB-er, I mean the gander.

In actual fact, I'm happy to have MAPTherapy here. His presence and willingness to listen to us is at least a step in the right direction. But I'm also happy to see him challenged and criticized by people like Gatekeeper. He also seems to be quite welcoming of this criticism. You're the only one who seems to give a shit about it and, frankly, nobody asked you. How 'bout you let MAPTherapy and Gatekeeper work it out themselves and stop trying to be the nanny, m'kay?

First off, I don't give two shits if it was true (even though it isn't) if no one but me cared about Gatekeeper's behavior towards MAPTherapy or his general behavior on this board when he starts spewing his sleazy jokes about kids. I don't speak or not speak on an issue I feel strongly about based on the popularity of doing or not doing so.

Secondly, you know as well as I do that others in these threads have spoken out against Gatekeeper's behavior, including prominently Joey Bishop. Do you really blind yourself that much, or do you only count the individual whom you seem to have more personal issues with the others? Just saying this threw your entire level of honesty into question, and nothing I said to you in this thread could have made you look worse than this blatantly biased statement of yours, which clearly illustrates how your interpretation of events differs from the empirically evident facts.

Thirdly, Gatekeeper was not being fair to MAPTherapy with his critiques, he had made up his mind about him from the get-go simply because Andrew is an MHP, and he saw Andrew as the perfect 'target' to vent his out-of-control levels of bitterness upon. You know this, but you don't care, because Andrew is an "outsider," as you put it before, and that means as far as you are concerned, he is a ripe target for our own hatred, bitterness, and need to vent at anyone we deem connected to our pain, much as we constantly decry victims of sexual abuse for doing the same to us all the time simply because we have an attraction to underagers.

Good luck at trying to intimidate me into a cease and desist on speaking out against hatred, bitterness, and vindictiveness regardless of where I see it originate. You know your efforts will be futile, but you have every right to give it a good old fashioned try anyway, old friend.
