nfitz you always take things too far man. This is one incident. It is very drama queen like.
It's dramatic to say I'm ashamed of the misogynistic comments in the media and on twitter??? Have you read the stuff that's out there? How could anyone not be ashamed, unless they hate women. I wasn't referring to this thread, I was referring to the comments on twitter, and in the media. They seem to be attacking the victim.You are very dramatic, nfitz.
I have done no such thing, You are spinning my words to get that. I simply asked him asked if he disagreed that it's completely wrong to grab a womens ass. I'd assume his answer would be no, I don't disagree ... I don't know why you'd assume that his answer might be otherwise ... because I don't.Trying to spin this to suggest that hawc supports "sexual abuse" is a case in point.
Have we suspended the forum guidelines today? Why is such extremely offensive language being allowed here today?It is very drama queen like.
I just can't imagine that anyone on the right-wing would support Ford next time over another right-wing candidate ... unless this comes down to simply supporting Ford because of his evil anti-gay beliefs.
That's a good point. What would Thomson have to gain from this? It's a serious question ... perhaps there is something. It's no secret her political career is over ... the party jumping was the icing on the cake for that. If she's vindicated on this, I don't see how that would change.Between the two of them, only Ford has something to gain by lying. So I beleive Thompson at this point.

And how does that justify making personal attacks against other members?

I'd even take Lastman!I can't wait for next year. Ford has to go. Ill even take John Tory.
^doesn't everyone have a "writing style"? I always just took from nfitz that one of the techniques in his wrting is to intentionally take someone's viewpoint and extrapolate it to show how, in the ultimate, it could be taken. Is that being a "drama queen"? I have never seen it as such and while I doubt we ever agree on much "stuff" I have enjoyed discussing things with him.......not sure why people are going at him here ...or why I feel the need to defend him....but there you go.
I simply said I was ashamed to be human because of the comments I was seeing on news articles and on twitter. What is exaggerated there? I am ashamed.Yes, I feel like exaggerating (or, as you say, "extrapolating") people's comments is dramatic and not constructive.
Hawc should have been disciplined for his uncivil comments. How can posters be allowed to get away with comments like "grow up" or "drama queen"?Yes, Hawc could have been more civil in his response.
Is it? Hawc appears to give the impression that he thinks it's okay to pat a women on the behind. I have simply tried to confirm whether that is, or isn't the case in a non-judgemental way - rather than attacking him.But nfitz brought into question whether or not Hawc supports sexual abuse, and that is far more dramatic and unconstructive.
Wow! Making light of sexual assault! Anything to defend your man, eh?

She hasn't involved the authorities.
However why wouldn't one call the police after being sexually assaulted?
I haven't mentioned that in a long time. His public position on same-sex marriage is very clear. I don't see an issue with simply pointing out the truth. But I don't see any point getting into that debate again... there's not exactly anything left to debate on it, unless he's backtracked on his negative comments on same-sex marriage.You got away with calling the Mayor a "bigot" multiple times.
I 100% agree with you.Do you think that everytime a man acts inappropriately and does something like grabbing a woman's ass that it should be taken to the police and charges laid? I don't, and can't understand why everyone is up in arms that she did not go to the police. She has every right to, but by no means is she obliged to.
