Well, a couple of reasons, jla, and again, I suppose this might be greeted with more anger and insults by your some of your group, but because I started this (albeit unintentionally), I think it's only fair to try to explain it, since you asked so nicely, I was more interested in what was driving you, when it really did seem that insults were all that you had posted here for weeks. (and e-bill, in his zeal to attack me while pretending to defend you, proved that quite effectively). I meant it to be between you and me, little expecting that so many were just waiting for a reason to interrupt, interfere, and otherwise interject themselves into what should have been you and me- I didn't even see it as a connection to Coby's post because you and she go at it so constantly anyway. I think the difference is that Coby posts a lot of other things, and has shared more of herself as a person, and so it doesn't seem so one-dimensional, which I KNOW you are not really. NOne of us is. BUt you give us little to go on! And I was NOT condemning you. I was pointing out what seemed to me to be facts. I have avoided both your and Coby's fights. And when it came up with e-bill, I did post that I was surprised by Coby's comment and wondered at her doing it, when things had been going fairly well (by Feelies standards). She very honestly admitted she wanted to stir things up; that it was fun or whatever. She didn't start calling me names; that was nice. She admits her taunt was gratuitous, but no one else seems willing to admit the same. I don't think there is ever a really good excuse for ugliness, but I know I succumb occasionally, and also sometimes have things taken wrong because, like bp, I refuse to use smileys. ANyway- does that answer at all?
