Penni, I regret your misinterpretation of the message responded to:

" Grammatical errors? (And ones that are common to the point of
acceptability to many). That hardly seems worthy of you. DOn't you find nitpicking the quality of a small person and mind?"

It was the content of the Profile entry that I responded to, the idea that 'I do not respond...', or something like that, "UNLESS..."

I asked if that was a confession, admitting a most confined curiosity about the world about him.

Or a challenge, such as: If you ain't totally bona fides, don't bother trying to communicate with me - 'cuz I am totally bona fides.

The nitpicking was dressing on the salad, totally superfluous. (If I had used parentheses, it may have come across as less ambiguous.)

I do feel that your thread would benefit, or possibly be destroyed, by having an antagonist dip in every now and then. (I am distressed, though, by your having read my post as grammatical fine-tunings. And, as all of this is irrelevant to you, I mean it has no connection, of any kind, with the concerns of your life or net-life, I regret the imposition. It means that my comment about 'confession,' should have been better phrased. So it would be more directly related to content rather than form.) geo
