Patrick,
What is wrong with you?
Seriously … what is wrong with you? I’m becoming uncomfortable with your persistent badgering. You are now trolling me. It’s an unhealthy obsession.
You can’t ‘correct’ an opinion. Because an opinion can’t be wrong. My opinion of you is this – I do not like you.
You may be a wonderful human being. But my opinion, is not that – it’s that you are NOT a wonderful human.
Now tell me my opinion is wrong. Hopefully the penny will drop at that revelation!
You’re opinion of me is that I’m obstinate and arrogant or similar. That’s YOUR opinion. I’m not interested in trying to change it. You don’t matter that much to me. And you are welcome to have it.
If you didn’t keep writing to me, I’d have forgotten you already.
I’ve got a book deal to finish … that’s far more pressing for me.
I’m responding to make sure you understand where I stand on your badgering, it’s enough! Stop.
You write about nothing else but this subject. I seem to live rent free in your head and you’re obsessed with one issue. Me … and my articles about Cameron.
You are literally obsessed with trying to prove me wrong. And in picking my opinion about Cameron’s situation apart. Now you’ve solicited the help of your ‘friend’ “Keith”.
And he’s as misguided as you are.
You’ve messaged me about 8 to 10 times concerning an OPINION piece. Who does that!
Who? Nobody.
You’ve threateningly stated you are now “Following me” because you think you are the Florida Medium police or something! You state what an idiot I am, and how wrong I am (paraphrased) – but that you are following me. Why? An Obsession!
You need help.
There is no right or wrong with an opinion pieces. It’s an opinion.
There is difference of OPINION! And boy do we differ. Can you not handle that.
Now you’ve hauled out the typical Americanism – you’re not an American citizen or Florida resident so you have no opinion. No right to comment. Hahaha! You need to grow up.
Only the uneducated pull that one out the drawer because their EQ and IQ doesn’t stretch far enough to respond with words. Use your words Patrick.
You’ve missed the point. You have … not me! You! Again YOU!!
You’ve written a long diatribe, which got not one clap incidentally, stating your view / opinion … I get it. I slogged through it – I drank coffee, lots of it and ploughed on … Really – I got it. I got your opinion … and I don’t agree with you.
Again … I do not agree with YOU! It has nothing to do with the law. It’s an opinion I have !! Lol 😂
I’m sorry. But that’s what it is. Now go away.
I stated YOUTHFUL OFFENDER in my response to Keith. I know what I said .. . Now you’re telling me he’s a youthful offender. Get real. Are you copy and pasting my piece? Haha!
I agreed with Keith about minor vs. Adult. But still you’ve got to go there. It’s as if you write before you read. Please … engage your brain.
Patrick, in the interests of Medium membership and the right to voice your opinion and disagree, I’ve allowed this to progress.
But I’m truthfully feeling attacked by you now. You’re trolling me. If you write one more piece to me or about me, I will block you and deal with this.
I wrote a few pieces which I believed in :- despite all your “help” in trying to change my opinion on those pieces … or Keith’s “help”, my position and opinion stands. And it will not change.
For the record:
I do not think Cameron got justice. I think his sentence is excessive. And I think he should be punished, with (perhaps) some incarceration time, but NOT 24 years.
I would like to look at alternative options, not just for him but people like him. Criminal mistakes. No intent … just a mistake. No previous. Those people need another option.
That’s my OPINION. It will always be my opinion. It’s the opinion of many progressive countries – Holland; Sweden; Norway; Italy; and many more.
The world is waking up to the negatives of incarceration. Just as they did, the death sentence. Maybe not in the USA yet, but many other countries. And some are MORE harsh than the USA. But this case was worth using as an example of bad justice.
You and I are polls apart. We probably always will be. That’s ok.
PS and your attempt to cover your pathetic comment about nobody caring about the deceased family says it all. You say: nobody cares or prays about them.
You do not qualify by saying some people are thinking about them – you say EVERYBODY. Or words to that effect.
Are we to believe now that while you said everybody … you didn’t mean it that way. You know (disease / deceased) …
I’m so done with you and your friend … bored stiff is what I am!
Go bother Umair Haque or somebody else.
