Deleting the entire thread is , of course, another option, which conveniently removes all evidence.
I agree 100% Ms. Wao.
And to be clear, I DID NOT derail the now deleted thread.
I did not change the now deleted threads subject matter.
I did not violate any of the PunaWeb rules.
And while saying that, having to defend oneself against untrue statements, opinions presented as facts, and demanding the posting of one’s personal information to back up what and who they are does take a toll and can cause heated disagreement, which, I will admit, I must learn to refrain from to responding to.
I deleted the thread due to all of the above. But more importantly, I deleted the thread as I have learned very well here on PunaWeb, most of the time the “guilty” go free and unscathed, where the "innocent" are made to be guilty by automatic default.
Imagine if a poster demanded that you post your personal identifying information to back up who and what it is you say you are. I have had enough back and forth banter with you in the past that I can pretty much guess what YOUR reply would be to that poster making such demands. And I know, as you do, it would not be a pretty “sunshine and lollipops” retort!
And guess what. Here we are doing the same thing! And now, look who else has joined in the posting of things having nothing to do with this threads subject.
Now, I’d love to hear what Punatang wanted to post about the Hilo protests here on the Hilo protest thread. Yet I highly doubt there was ever anything Punatang really wanted to say about the Hilo protests. It was just another way to derail yet another thread.
Or are we at the point now where THIS thread is allowed to be derailed and let MyManao give us all a lesson on "mental and emotional wellbeing.(?)"
At any event, carry on!
