There are no two ways about it.<<<<<< If you can't your classes or grades from first grade just say so. If you think there is something more appropriate, just say so. I felt the seriousness of each was close 30 yrs ago. I should know as I was young and foolish back then; but what the heck, come up with a better example if you wish. The democratic party is directly tied to Al Gores campaign" Yeah, a real smoking gun. You are stretching this one beyond believe. But if that is your fantasy, so be it.<<<<<<< You say smoking gun as if I accused that guy of something. I did not ever say what he did was wrong or inappropriate. You in fact started the conversation by declaring there was no connection at all to the Gore campaign. All I said is that there is a connection. Nothing devious or underhanded about that. You admit that it is you that is confusing the issue," Oops, and in your universe a single mistake makes you guilty forever. <<<<<<< No that does make you guilty forever. But it does mean that for that post you say you were mixed up and confused. Why don't you straighten out what you were confused and mixed up about, and I will try to answer you. "If you want to change the phrase to spending, lets do that" I didn't change the phrase, that is what Smirk said. You might want to deny reality, you have done an awful lot of it, but that is the way it is. Imagine what you will, you clearly do.<<<< In my rebuttal I used the phrase" GW said Al was outspending him." didn't I. You said to use spending instead of received, I did, and now you are claiming I am twisting things and denying things. Did I or did I not use spending instead of received, as you requested. <<<<< I know it is difficult for you to believe, but if Smirk was actually honest you could actually quote something real instead of distorting the truth to defend him<<<<< I think you are trying to say something here, but I will be danged if I can figure it out. It would seem to me that any Quote of GW's would be real, whether he was lying or not; as long as he said it. Perhaps you had another interpretation in mind. When you figure it out and can put it in English, let me know. <<<"I didn't realize I had done that to you and I apologize. " Look, you might find it important to blame others when you make a mistake, a character flaw you share with Smirk, but I don't. I never said my mistake was your fault and I don't need your apology.<<<< AFAIK in your previous post, I thought you claimed that I was causing you to be mixed up and confused when you said this I mixed it up once. You, however, have consistently mixed the two, either deliberately or not.<<<<< My interpretation is, "I got mixed up once, but you got mixed up twice because of it and really mixed things up ." which in turn caused the confusion you were talking about. If I had done that to you, I was apologizing for it. Now you claim that "I never said my mistake was your fault." Finally something we can agree upon. Your mistakes are your own fault. I think it interesting that you view someone who admits to making a mistake as weak. That points up another rather slimy aspect of your character. <<< Now , where did I say that admitting to mistakes makes you weak. All I said was "I didn't realize I had done that to you and I apologize."<< Quite trying to make a martyr of yourself. All I was doing is apologizing. Take it or leave it.
