"What is more interesting to me is that you are now claiming you weren't name-calling because you were labeling the behavior rather than the person. Originally you said it wasn't name-calling because what you said was true and because it wasn't vulgar. Do you care to revise and extend your remarks further? Are you "claiming" both cannot be true? Or that, I didn't provide a comprehensive enough treatise on the subject to cover myself; and so you get some silly gotcha points? Or, should I try to guess, if you are holding some other mysterious number behind your back? It was labeling behavior. It was neither vulgar nor profane. It was also not in the form of "you are a ___" (your criteria, which I agree with). The comment to JLA qualified the labeling of behavior aspect. I made no comments to X, though she goaded me further. I had explained to JLA that I knew what X was capable of but had given her the benefit of doubt by responding to a post in a polite and gentelmanly manner. I admitted that it was my mistake to respond at all, given the history. But clearly I was refering to the choice of behavior she made, and I labeled that behavior, accurately; and in walks Karen (not that you are an outsider or anything, clearly this is your issue more than X's). "You may recall that I used the term, pissy, to apply to both you and X. Don't forget, now." Of course, you are the queen. Draw the lines where ever you like. Move them as it pleases you. Keep an eye out for outsiders, we don't want them messing the lines up. "You should have let me take away your shovel when I made the offer." Why would I? It doesn't bother me when you throw the dirt from your hole over the fence at me, I'm using it for my flower bed. Ah, looks very nice...
