Because this type of "gotcha" behavior is generally the type of behavior you exhibit in the DC forum, when talking about politics. It very rarely comes out in the main forum from you.

She said he verbally abused her, PUSHED HER, and that she was considering a restraining order. She told her son she was BEING ABUSED. Yes, it most certainly had been defined, by HER, not by me, and my definition of abuse is completely irrelevant.

No, I didn't. I placed A LOT of emphasis on the fact that his mother has said she was BEING ABUSED. You're quibbling over words, I'm not.
And MANY people thought the same, even publicly in this thread.

Again, you completely and utterly misunderstood. I fully understood what his mother meant. I don't have any insecurities, I just wasn't in the mood to listen to your psychobabble bullshit.

Ironically, he agreed with my original thoughts on the situation, before you tried to derail the conversation into some kind of philosophical debates on what constitutes the word "abuse".
And again, the only weird behavior here started and ended with YOU.
Let's look at the conversation again, in a nutshell:
tooge: my mom says she's being abused, i don't like it and i don't want to go to thanksgiving
htismaqe: don't go
patteu: htismaqe, what is your definition of "abuse"
Now THAT is weird behavior.
