Hi, brees. Thanks for this civil message. You got caught in something with a distasteful history of which you were unaware, is all.
BTW, FYI: About your remark "Oh yeah, and please excuse any grammatical errors" would seem to imply that I ridicule, or even point out, grammatical errors of other posters....
Well, I have never pointed out a grammatical error (except of a good friend's, in mutual play), except on the Grammar thread, and there it was my proposal that any errors posted NOT be linked to, so as not to embarrass the poster. (That idea was rejected, but I hope and believe you will find no post of mine since I joined in 1996 making fun of any fellow SI member's grammar. Except, as I said, in the case of a good friend who would feel free to do the same with me.)
I hope I have cleared up any misimpression you might be under on that point. |
