The Science of Channeling

I get annoyed those who speak in absolutes or reductionist framings like you seem to do.

Instead of looking for common ground, you seem to vehemently assert your position.

LMFAO, look who's talking here. Have you bothered to examine your own assault on others lately?

You fell right into the bait, and are showing your true colors.

Your rhetoric and speech patterns come across as rather toxic and unpleasant.

As are yours. You can't put please in front of bullying and act like that makes it pleasant.

You are seriously one of the most toxic people on this forum, and you ALWAYS think your position is superior, which is blatantly obvious.
You dismiss, you bully, you call names, you deflect, and then you try to make that all sound intelligent, as if that excuses your toxic puke.
I would guess it is immaturity, or that you are just a toxic person lacking in social skills.
But, that is making assumptions again.

But, we are getting off topic because you are so butt hurt about losing your perceived superior position, while not accepting that others have opinions and are allowed to publish them without your approval or feedback.

You don't run this forum, and you certainly don't get to control my thoughts or feelings about subjects using your bullying tactics and spoiled brat syndrome.

And you accuse me of mud-slinging!

Projection and a half.

Again with the baby nonsense. Get a grip, this isn't your playground and you don't control everything and everyone.

Like I said, I can go back and present all of your toxic nonsense if you prefer.

Stop bullying people, or not. If not, take what you get for it.

From my perspective, you are being the aggressive bully here, slinging unabated insults and emotional soundbites.

Your perspective is obviously incorrect and self-centered. You can't seem to see that the way you push people around with your twisted responses creates a toxic environment that isn't acceptable.
If I am the one who points it out and pushes back, you respond like a spoiled brat and don't even accept that you are the problem.
So I push back harder, and you think you are somehow innocent and perfect. 
What part of that isn't clear to you?

All of it ~ because I am none of what you are projecting onto me.

Elsewhere, not long ago, I had affirmed that:

My own hope is that you bear this in mind:

It is common on this forum for differences of opinion to be expressed and hashed out. This dynamic is welcome even, because good-faith, respectful debate is a good way to test ideas, attitudes, and opinions, and ideally even to get closer to truth. This process works best when we do approach differences of opinion with respect and in good faith, and understand them for what they are, and not as personal attacks.

That hope has been dashed in this thread, where good faith has not been assumed, and, rather, a barrage of insults has been unleashed with no subtlety nor consideration for our rule #1: respect (no personal attacks).

Instead, an array of personal attacks has been launched in referring to another member as a pompous, obnoxious, intolerant, belligerent, toxic, dismissive deflector, mud-slinger, bully, and enforcer of "my way or the highway" lacking in social skills who undergoes meltdowns.

This is unacceptable behaviour on these forums.

This is a first warning. No action is being taken. If personal attacks like these are launched again, concrete action will be taken, probably in the form of a temporary ban.

@Warddurward if you would like to discuss with admins what you think led to this outburst and how similar outbursts can be prevented in future, then please feel free to contact us.
