Not so odd. JLA was signing off to the whole thread, explaining his sudden departure, and doting on his daughter, by mentioning her prowess at gymnastics. I frequently intermingle remarks meant for one person with remarks to the thread when I sign off, regardless of whom I am talking to directly. There was no basis whatsoever for speculation that his daughter was retarded, or that he was making a bid for sympathy.......

"He wasn't talking about sympathy for the disabled..."

Nor did I ever say that he was. I correctly interpreted his comments the context in which he made them. Odd indeed.

You had better be careful.

You're reading posts logically and intelligently, not emotionally and irrationally.

If your style were to take over, it would destroy the whole character of the thread.

Ummm, come to think of it, maybe that wouldn't be so terrible after all.
