The wrong side must not win

What is "the outcome"? If people - including Frem and you- have not yet figured out by now that I try to be a straight shooter and especially that I do NOT deliberately lie about what people have said, nor do I deliberately bring false information to the board, then what else can happen? My word here is worth nothing already. And if that can happen because CTS got her knickers in a twist because I didn't AUTOMATICALLY accept her word on something, then I'm posting to the wrong people.
I'm willing to say I mis-remembered, I'm willing to accept that misunderstandings and suchlike occur. But if some of you can't work through that without getting out the six-shooters at ten paces, then...

You and kiki are going to argue with everyone about this? The outcome is whether you want the board to line up on sides like it already is. Frankly, this is between you and CTS, it is not my concern who said what to who and when. How far you go is up to you, but you ought to ask yourself if it's even worth the emotional investment.

BTW, I detest you too, Siggy. Let's go get a room, and leave these poor folks be.

No, Byte, Me and CTS, not me and Kiki. If YOU keep misrepresenting how this all came about and who's at the other end of this argument (and who really escalated things along) then I'll prolly wind up saying regretful things about you too. Best step out.
CTS- I'm going to say this slowly and hope you catch up. IF you had said something to the effect of "SIGNY SAID that Obama is the best thing since sliced bread" and I said "No I did not" and you said "OH yes you did and I'll find the thread" I would prolly react the same as you: "PROVE IT."
But if you came back with the link, the first, last and middle things I would NOT do is accuse you of lying. We might talk about what I said, what you heard and so forth and maybe even come to some kind of understanding. That would be the adult, non-histrionic thing to do. But, no. That didn't happen. You climbed up on a cross, nailed yourself to it and cried out how I had done you such horrible wrong. So let's just end this discussion with mutual animosity: I think you're a snake and I would hate to be your child. You prolly think horrible things of me too.

I'm holding you to that, CTS.

Kiki also responded to me, Sig, defending you. It's good to have friends.
But in any case, where do you see this going? I see it going that there's going to be even more arguments and people will be asked to pick sides. I'm saying that doesn't need to happen, it's just you and CTS. Right now, you seem to have decided I'm against you, but I have no dog in this fight.
Quite simply, and I'm repeating myself I know, but this really doesn't end well for anyone. You and CTS want to fight, that's fine, but I don't want to fight with you or her over what she said to you or what you said to her.
Instead, I'm going to have dinner, and play video games. Maybe read, and respond to emails.
EDIT: Looks like you've already decided to do the same. I'll see you all tomorrow I suspect. Night guys.

Not asking anyone to pick sides. FREM did that, by not only accusing me of lying but also accusing me of "sympathy baiting". Well, I have a few pithy things to say about Frem as well, but that's between me and him

Yeah, I know you're not, but that's what's happening anyway.
I'm sorry for stepping in as I did, it's pretty high handed of me. You seem to have resolved this yourself.

"You and kiki are going to argue with everyone about this?"
So even though I made the initial comment I should shut up and sit down? I'm to have nothing to say about the topic? Wow. Mighty mighty of you.
"The outcome is whether you want the board to line up on sides like it already is."
Like you're doing? Like Frem did? You mean like that? But Signy and I are now supposed to shut up and sit down to keep things all nicey nicey after YOU TWO stepped in and 'lined up' on 'YOUR SIDE'??
"How far you go is up to you, but you ought to ask yourself if it's even worth the emotional investment.'"
Not that you will, but maybe you should take your own advice ...
