Spear, this is not the place to defend yourself. Here they want you not to, under any circumstances (and I mean any). They want abusive posts silently reported.

I can see myself in you how I was several years ago, I was a lot about justice and people being treated the same. But I have realized that is just a strange ideal I have which most people do not agree with. Having people riling you up will always make you the bad guy, no matter if your feelings are valid. People react to people who react.

I know it hurts to be judged by people who do not know us. Especially if they are so many that their take on us becomes the popular idea. But to break the cycle you have to stop reacting. Or they will use that to their advantage.

I have been played so many times I have learned the rules of the game. I could probably play it back at them. But I don't want to be that kind of person.
