I don't need to back up shutting down your blog. It's my blog, I can do with it what I please. I'm not answerable to you or anyone else.

Ergo. Thin skin.

Um, yes: substantively misrepresenting another's actual words is lying. And if you're going to accuse me of lying, you are free to provide substantiation.

And yet, I have no substantially misrepresented you. Those people who you've misrepresented had already in their own time argued why you're wrong until they gave up in frustration. I won't rehash everything again.

Argument by linkage, especially to biased sources (just because a source is biased doesn't mean it's wrong, of course) does not constitute substantiation.

Lolwut? No I should probably have copy-pasted everything in your comment box. That would have been the preferred format obviously. Oh come on Larry, agree you lied already instead of trying to twist reality.

I'm not in the business, generally, of publishing other people's opinions.

What a cop-out. Your phrasing makes it look as if it's any cost involved and you know very well there isn't. You know and I know, and everyone knows that there's no point in deleting comments except intolerance of opposing opinion. Your pathetic excuses may convince yourself but hardly anyone else.

You are making the fundamental mistake: I simply do not *care* why you're rude and hostile, I don't *care* at all how you feel, and I don't *care* whether or not my behavior offended you. I'm just not interested in being friends with you.

Another way to avoid looking at one's own actions and thus another pathetic excuse for banning.

Please: do me the favor of doing what I originally asked in the email: Let's go our *separate* ways.

Well, you know, whatever makes you happy.

It doesn't backup shutting down your blog.

I don't need to back up shutting down your blog. It's my blog, I can do with it what I please. I'm not answerable to you or anyone else.

If that's lying, then you're the biggest liar of all as a lot of bloggers can say the same thing about your own misrepresentations of their actual words.

Um, yes: substantively misrepresenting another's actual words is lying. And if you're going to accuse me of lying, you are free to provide substantiation.

You didn't try to handle the disagreement. You told me to fuck off…politely.

I'm not obligated to "handle" the disagreement in any other way. You have no right to my attention and engagement.

Civilized people, when they're politely told to fuck off of a place they're not entitled to be, politely fuck off. Spoiled children piss and moan and act like the world owes them its gratitude and admiration for simply existing.
