You addressed your speculation to the letter "X", but your response was entirely concerned with a speculation as to the meaning of JLA's post. Again...you are simply playing word games here. The "personal information" the letter "X" referred to was: "My daughter and I have a busy day tomorrow getting geared up for her upcoming gymnastics meet..." The letter "X" replied: "Now that is odd. Why would you share personal information about your child with someone you've just been calling all kinds of names? That seems very very...strange." It was YOU who suggested that his post about taking his daughter to a gymnastics meet was an attempt to garner sympathy. But how does saying goodnight and explaining you need to spend some time at a gymnastics meet with your daughter translate into an appeal for sympathy?? The letter "X" said NOTHING about a special needs daughter. NOR did JLA in this post that the letter "X" responded to...and which you critiqued. So why did you think that JLA was trying to get sympathy when he said: My daughter and I have a busy day tomorrow getting geared up for her upcoming gymnastics meet... Did that sound like the plea for sympathy that you have told Jewels you were referring to and are defending???
