Can't you remember?

@Post 2

"I am going to pick on @asterisktom (sorry brother). I am vaccinated. That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not. (emphasis mine) But he has considered the risk of covid (which is low) and his health (which I suspect is much better than mine). From what I gather he does not see the vaccines as beneficial and I think even dangerous.

I think I may see your....to be nice. .."mistake".

You have lifted some if my words, being careful not to include "Both of us are responsible for our health even though we have chosen differently" to try and make my words say the opposite of what they actually say.

Now, I am willing to accept that you are an honest person. I accept that you are a Christian. I am hopeful in believing you, like me, realize God will hold us accountable for our words and deeds.

So let me ask - when quoting me why did you leave out "Both of us are responsible for our health even though we have chosen differently"?

I guess what I really want to know is if you believe you are being an honest person with that post.

You have the knife.

What ever happened to "Disclaimer: the positions I argue may not be my own"?

You can say anything you want and edit anytime.

So you want me to assume your additional qualification cancels what you said in the quote?

"That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not."

You are a Christian but why bring that in about me other than insinuating that I play dirty?

I haven't called you names in public, recently any way.

If you like disseminating your opinion so much, and judging my behavior, then give up the mod power and we will be on more equal ground.

Or are you going to call in the troops again?

In answering the question about members stating those who refuse a vaccine don't care about their health you quote me as saying:

"That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not."

But that is not what I actually said in context of my post. Here is a fuller quote (members can hit the up arrow to see the entire quote and judge for themselves):

... I am vaccinated. That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not. But he has considered the risk of covid (which is low) and his health (which I suspect is much better than mine). From what I gather he does not see the vaccines as beneficial and I think even dangerous.

Both of us are responsible for our health even though we have chosen differently.).

Now, I do understand some people struggle with reading comprehension, particularly when English is a second language. Colleges offer classes to bring students up to par in comprehending what they read.

I do leave room that you may be struggling with comprehending what you have read (there is no shame in that....just ask and I will explain my post to you).

What I am asking is if you are an honest person. Did you intentionally misrepresent my post by excluding portions of my comments or did you not comprehend what was written?

Based on your treatment of my words, do you believe you are an honest man, or do you believe you are dishonest?

Readers can read your handling of my post and my actual post to decide for themselves if you are honest or if you lack integrity. I am asking what you believe. I suspect your character will be reveled in your answer (or lack thereof).

@SGO ,

To address your question about calling in the troops....I have not been calling anybody in.

I want your posts to stay as they are. They are a reflection of you. Readers (members and passers by) can make their own judgments about your character based on your posts.

I believe this is fair.

I said:

... I am vaccinated. That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not. But he has considered the risk of covid...Both of us are responsible for our health even though we have chosen differently.).

You "quote" me as saying

"That is me taking responsibility for my health. @asterisktom is not."

Readers can discern your character and level of integrity for themselves.

I am only asking - given your post - if you consider yourself to be an honest man.
