Anti-Adoptionist Exposed!!!

Question:

Heh, heh.  Gotcha’ didn’t I?  I wasn’t about to let my response to one of Steve’s classic hit-and-run postings get lost in the shuffle. If you like this, you’ll love his gallant defense of women who stuff pillows under their dresses to simulate pregnancy, and cold-bloodedly "reduce" their pregnancies, then whine about how sad they are – so sad that they lie to their husbands and refer to their aborted baybees by number. Steve’s such a religious man he can’t even talk about it, and such a selfless humanitarian and fine judge of character that he takes it upon himself to sort and label women, so folks can see clearly who the wacko, deluded ones are. Enjoy! Laura Sure Laura, life is a giant Ponzi scheme except for you and the true believers who believe like you. Perhaps you should start your own religion? I’d suggest that you stay away from spaceships, cloning, and small, well-armed compounds in rural areas; those ideas have been taken already and you wouldn’t want to be a copycat.

No, but you would. In more ways than one. I’ve no interest in being part of any religion or cult.   If *you* do, feel free to declare and defend your beliefs.  If you prefer not to share your own opinions and beliefs, it seems cowardly and hypocritical to publicly attack individuals whose beliefs differ from yours.  How is anyone to know where you’re coming from if you don’t say? Too bad you didn’t stick around in alt.a last time; otherwise you’d know the answer already. Google, please!

Why should I waste my time trying to defend you?  That’s your job. I don’t give a damn if you look like what you are. You’re either willing to declare your beliefs as you attack mine, or you’re not.  Obviously, you’re not. If you can’t accept that some of us don’t need authority figures telling us what to think and feel and believe, that’s not my problem – unless you’d like to start the ball rolling on another Inquisition, in which case that’s everyone’s problem. Sorry, sweetie, you’re one of the few potential Inquisitors around here, along with Di. And we all know whom you’d put the thumbscrews on and why!

Hmmm, very interesting.  You believe you’re a "we" and that this "we" all know something they are unable or unwilling to state about thumbscrews put on unspecified others?  Would you – I mean, y’all – like to lie on my couch and tell me about it, starting with your earliest recollections? Then again, since you’ve previously declared yourself to be anti-religious and have been anti-adoption, it just might be an accurate descriptor of who you are. What have I said about myself in regard to religion other than that I’m not religious?    You’re skating on mighty thin ice here, as usual, and on my pond.  Have you no boundaries? Nah!

That explains why you don’t respect other people’s. That and the fact that you suffer from multiple personality disorder. Do you think everyone here is an imbecile who needs you to explain my beliefs and opinions to them? Now don’t go picking on Jackie like that!  :-)

Why would I pick on Jackie?  She’s not the patronizing, hypocritical control freak.  I’m talking to you.  You’re the one who attacks others’ beliefs but lacks the guts to declare his own. And here you go, slapping on that idiotic "anti-adoption" label, … For starters, it’s accurate. You’re against adoption. How many posts have you made over the past ten years?

I don’t know, Steve.  You’re the one who’s been poring over my posts for years and calling me "anti-adoption."   It’s up to you and your like-minded friends to define your terms and prove your points before your credibility gets flushed down the toilet. You even made a video.

I was interviewed for a video documentary in which activist mothers express their concerns about dehumanizing adoption language and harmful conflicts of interest in adoption practice.  Does this mean we have to turn in our genuine plastic glow-in-the-dark official Pro-Adoption badges? You’ve been doing stuff on other forums than alt.a. You’ve made it abundantly clear.

Yikes, Steve, don’t go apoplectic on us! I admit it. I have been doing stuff on other forums.  Genforum and Rootsweb are just code words for "anti-adoption."  They’re controlled by biased moderators who censor and stifle the opposition.  Their members lurk in the shadows and drag unsuspecting innocents into their evil pursuits.  They belittle adopters and seek to destroy adoption as we know it, albeit in a long, drawn-out, roundabout, sneaky sort of way. You’ve been going crazy wondering what I’ve been up to the last few years, haven’t you?  As my personal Internet stalker you must be intercepting the e-mails and photos my son and others send me. You must’ve read his brother’s blog, and listened to his sister’s latest interview, as millions of others have.  Pretty cool, huh?  No doubt you’ve seen the photos of my hunkalicious husband of 30 years, and our lovely daughters and handsome son.  And our pets?  Adorable aren’t they?  Our cozy home in the foothills?  We like it.  Life is good, Steve.  Maybe you should get one. What you don’t like is someone pointing this out clearly and applying an accurate label. Nope, nope, that’ll never do, because your only hope of foisting your agenda on unsuspecting people is to ensure their confusion.

Here comes Steve, projecting like mad as usual.  Brave Steve, leaping in with his trusty label-maker to rescue people everywhere from their own confusion, because they can’t frigging think for themselves without Steve riding them like a monkey.  Honorable Steve, slapping labels on activist mothers out of fear that if he doesn’t, his hopelessly confused and gullible target audience won’t see "clearly" where the enemy’s coming from. Afraid you might be losing in the court of public opinion?   Then haul out the machine guns and try to assassinate your opponents’ characters, and distort and misinterpret their opinions, and publicly ridicule them. Lovely, lovely spittle! You sure haven’t given away anything with advancing years. That was just marvelous.

So you like my lovely spit!  I, too, marvel at its quality and accuracy. I sure haven’t given away my integrity or good aim with advancing years. Since the "court of public opinion" still thinks — overwhelmingly — that adoption is a good thing, I’m not too worried.

No, you’re not worried.  You’re terrified.  You’re pissing your pants because you know that when it comes to adoption, the overwhelming majority of people say one thing and do the exact opposite. And about that ‘character assasination’ thing, I’d … nope, nope, that’s too easy, not going to do it.  :-)

That’s okay.  I know what you want to say.  I’m psychic.  Must be the mother in me. You and men like Pierce seem obsessed with trying to persuade other people to think poorly of individuals who disagree with you. And you keep helping!  

Having fun digging your own grave? Guess you’re feeling a trifle defensive. That usually happens when you have a weak argument and weaker character. Screeching that you’re somehow being ‘misinterpreted’ is one of the basic levels of defense in political activism, especially when your side is losing.

To the contrary, I enjoy watching bullies implode.  Always have. Attribute this to my weak character and lack of religion. I think you just flew into the ether, my dear, and Farraday proved that didn’t exist. Please come home to planet Earth and we’ll continue this discussion  :-) steve

This isn’t a discussion.  Don’t flatter yourself.  It began as a discussion but in typical form you turned it into a personal attack punctuated with inane smiley faces.  You reap what you sow, sucker. Laura

If it’s a hit and run, how’d you manage to find it?  :-) If you like this, you’ll love his gallant defense of women who stuff pillows under their dresses to simulate pregnancy, and cold-bloodedly "reduce" their pregnancies, then whine about how sad they are – so sad that they lie to their husbands and refer to their aborted baybees by number.

Mama wanted me to be a lawyer! Steve’s such a religious man he can’t even talk about it, …

I simply invoked the "Celeste Rule", that’s all  :-) … and such a selfless humanitarian and fine judge of character that he takes it upon himself to sort and label women, so folks can see clearly who the wacko, deluded ones are.

It clearly worked  :-) steve
