Yes I agree it is not nice to insult or ridicule someone out the the wild blue yonder. If a person does that to me, I publicly or privately contact than individual and express my feelings. Or I tell them they are whatever.... That's what a real man does. All men and woman have equal rights. You chose to directly state a conclusion and did not ask what I was saying. foxette's direct reply to me, carried 10 times more weight than your opinion. It's held no ambiguity It was to me clearly what I call an understanding smile. So are you arguing that that was an incoherent how dare you. So if foxette had acted like a man and not so incoherent then I may have explained it to her.(newbie rules but she did seem to have potential) If she contacted me in PM. I might have( very likely) considered an apology in public as a matter of form. But based upon how it played out. the insulting inference has merit because it has no merit. Sorry if you don't get that LOL Like I said mr. allen my opinion is you are thinking stupidly. The deamons in your mind saw an insult with no question. I thought you knew me better. I apologize to you for thinking higher of you than you deserve. LOL does that help. I did not express an insult and if you believe my intent is honest then I see no need to apologize. Cannot foxette also read and think. If I am honest no apology is needed. If I'm not honest what does an apology matter. I can only state my honest beliefs. You using obscenity in addressing me shows some of your beliefs. I view them as a weakness. Yes I am as foxette says clearly wrong in several guesses. I gave her and you far more credit for thinking clearly than shown by the events that played out. I speak coherently always and incoherently as the mood moves me. I often speak with substantial abstractions or obtusely for fun. I wonder do get that simple abstraction. Saying "shadup you" fool is more coherent than "that was stupid thinking" may be your criterion, I don't know. When I posted to you earlier today was it incoherent??? I took time to express clearly to you my state of mind. That is often a complex thing to do and I can only try. Will I create the image ideas or not. If I fail and I am trying to be honest and sincere, how do you respond??? Your reply came after how much thought. It could have clearly implied your were saying I was dishonest. LOL If you are still testing my mettle then you are much slower than where my estimates had placed you. I have found today very stimulating and educational. For more so than constant prattle of the vacant liberal minded lefty loons. Finally if foxette has read all posted today and still feels insulted, she is not ready for prime time yet. She is welcome for this education that I have provided her. Mr. Allen you are also welcome and feel free to request tutoring at any time. hmmmm... have I been to coherent... Now do I do as I say. Once upon a time a neocon stated flat out a suggesting of dishonesty. Did I ask for an apology. A certain Mr. Allen with out of the blue with nonsense insult accusation and then short cryptic seemed really to imply dishonesty reply followed by pontification of opinion with obscenity reply. I don't ask people acting dumb to apologize for acting dumb. Mr Allen clearly stated I misunderstood his terse reply and dishonesty implication was not intended. By Watson's rules no apology, by Allen's rules. A misunderstanding????
