Why do you talk like this to people?

You’re going to bust my chops?
I’m pitching bunk?
I should go somewhere else?

How am I not on topic?
And even if I weren’t, why do you think you have the right to threaten me?

I responded to what Marcy wrote.
As a woman who works with middle school children, I follow a policy at school which is to caution kids who talk the way you did to me.

I thought the point here was to think critically.
To challenge assumptions.

I am definitely afraid of you.
I’ve seen how you’ve written to others and felt relief it wasn’t me.
But I know it is right to stand up to your threats.
I find what you just did abusive.

Why do you have a problem with me challenging Marcy’s assertion that President Bush ignored the PDB about Bin Laden?

I have backed up what I put out with evidence from scientists, architects, and engineers.
