Yes, I understand that your interpretation of my text is and always has been the problem.

It's what I'm trying to get YOU to understand.

Ask Piemaker, or anyone else on this message board, if what Joe said was an "attack" on Piemakers' intelligence. I believe even Piemaker deemed it a joke.
Again, EXACTLY what I'm saying....what's the difference? BTW, why SHOULDN'T I question your intelligence when this is the third time I'm posed the exact same question since you are clearly exhibiting a refusal to address the question.

look at the rest of my posts in this thread, I have labeled NOTHING as an attack. Other than that, why someone else would label SOMETHING else you said as an attack, I certainly don't have that answer.
I'm not askinbg you to speculate on the actions of other, Einstein, are you not a participant in this conversation as well AND fully capable of relaying your own thought and opinions.....now IF you'll actually get around to doing so is, in fact, another story

However, I woul say in general, that there are those on this board, who when they tend to disagree with someone, that can't merely disagree, they must insult as well.. which could then be seen as an attack. When Joe disagrees with someone, or makes a comment, it may be dry, it may be satiric. Some people find both those ideas rude. I don't, I usually find them funny. but that's just me.
Thank you...a well thought out response acknowledging that you realize some people do not see a difference between "satire" and "honesty", but that you do. It's all I've asked you for over the last 12 or so hours today....

Your argument is that what Joe said was an insult of her intelligence. and I don't accept that premise, and neither does Pie.
I DID NOT POSE AN ARGUMENT, I asked a question and gave my opinion on the subject.

Yet you STILL don't see how it doesn't matter what I say because of your preconceived notions of what my post will contain. You spent all day trying to figure out my angle of attack when all I wanted was the 2 or 3 sentences you posted abolve....and why wouldn't it piss me off that it took over 12 hours to drag that out of you?!?!?!?!

Quote:
But to answer your question..
Well I guess it has everything to do with tact, and delivery. Call someone "stupid".. well that's just lame.. or you could say "The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em." and I would find that clever, and a bit more tactful, and less hateful.. but again, that's not even close to what happened here.
So then my original comment of " Yeah, condensation, What WILL they think of next...."

although maybe not as funny, would have garnered a non combative responsive from you just like Joe's? Think about this now because the comment I DID post wasn't of a combative nature either....I merely asked a question
Quote:
So again, I'll reiterate, that I think you are fishing for something that's not here. If you still want to discuss, why something you say is considered an attack when if someone else were to say the same thing. I suppose you have to take into consideration the delivery, the perceived history, and whether or not you included a smiley, when you were calling someone an @#$@#$@#
And again, I'm not fishing for anything. I asked a question and for some reason it took you about 13 hours to give a genuine answer then you basically repeated the same thing 3 times in your last 3 paragraphs....and I shouldn't question this mentality?
