And to answer this, there don't appear to be any other topics about gun reform that we were both in, so it appears I was, indeed, not in that topic, which you even admitted at the time you couldn't truly remember if I was or not.

there is probably someone who I called out specifically as having been in the previous topic. If you follow that person's posting history it would likely be possible to find the prior topic. not saying that you will show up in there, but it could be a further interesting look into how much this happens to me, and how long it's been going on.

I can accept this if you're willing to accept that I have a right to want to start to question things like what you mean by me "attacking" you, and the severity of the arguments, and so on, because you made a specific accusation of me that I regularly attack you, snipe you with comments, and so on. I truly don't believe that to be the case, and the current evidence available to me reaffirms that feeling. I understand that you may group me together with others when I'm on the opposite side of a debate, but you basically made an accusation that I was intentionally going out of my way to jump on your case regularly, which caught me off guard because I can promise you that is not the case at all.

I can see why you feel that way. I don't know if I conveyed my message poorly, or if it was just poorly understood. I'd have to read back through this topic to see exactly who said exactly what.

But the reality is just this; My stance isn't that you (or anyone else really) is INTENTIONALLY going out of their way to form mobs to attack me. My point is that this same shit happens all the time, in every single topic, and it always devolves into the same nonsense. And I always see the same exact names popping up.

You may be correct in thinking that you and me were not regularly arguing anytime "recently," but I was also correct in remembering us arguing in the past, in similar topics, at a time when many other people were sniping at me. Even the examples that you've looked back and check, you've really only shared what you were doing at the time. But the context was important.

What matters is what was already happening in the topic at the time, because that can change a 'minor disagreement and then fizzled out' into being literally one argument in the middle of 50 nitpicks, 'gotcha!' remarks, etc. from my perpsective.

Saying it happens is not the same as saying that every person involved is intentionally going out of their way to try and bully me. If I had to say, there's probably 4 or fewer who are guilty of that. But a handful more who just straight up dislike me and will take any chance to snipe at me in any topic where I post. Add onto that any other random person who also joins in, and it gets pretty annoying pretty fast. I guess however I phrased it earlier in the topic may have given the wrong impression.
