(20,582 posts)I know I got attacked with the "Goodness, you remember everything!!! Why do bring up old stuff from YEARS ago?!", when actually, it was something that happened around a week ago. So many of these claims are disingenuous and just outright lies, that I pay very little heed to those who try so hard to use them anymore. They aren't talking to me, they're posting to try to demean me as a person to anyone who doesn't know exactly what happened. It's got nothing to do with feminism, humanism or any other ism that claims to care about the rights and dignity of others ...... it's all some strange power trip dripping with contempt and derision for anyone who disagrees.
And that 'old dog' thing pretty much sealed it for me. I have no use in real life for people who are so contemptuous of others, and I certainly don't admire it here.
