Goodness. I would never have put that construction on that. I don't see reading comprehension as a problem like name calling, or following people around SI, and I assume most people have noticed people do those things. So the first line is a reference to those other things, and the second one a suggestion that most people would probably have noticed those sorts of things on SI. I'm glad you told me what you interpreted as a threat- because I would never, ever have gotten it, and it just goes to show that your powers of interpretation can completely change the reality of a situation, for you. I asked a couple of people if THEY got it, and they didn't either, so your reality, is very different from not only my reality, but from the reality of several other people as well, if you care, which you probably do not. I still have no idea how ANY of that is a "threat", unless mentioning other behaviors worse than reading comprehension is "threatening". Name calling is worse than having poor reading comprehension- is it "threatening" to say that? This is just weird. It was weird before, and now it's even weirder. I went back and reread what happened on Sharks, and your group was even worse than I had remembered, but I did check, just in case I misread you, but no- you were what you were, and you'll just have to live with that, and stop expecting me to buy into what you did. I can live with everything I said, and I'm just really glad I wasn't you. It would have been easier to throw in with the group, but it would have been wrong, and if I'd done it I'd be the one obsessing about it, rather than having that be you, and a few others... And let me just tell you further, that opposing wrong behavior shouldn't have to do with the victim, and whether you like them or not, or feel "sympathy" but whether the behavior is right or wrong. That is why I had to mention that your behavior (even though I liked you) was wrong, when you went after CH (whose behavior was also wrong, but not as bad as yours.) It's a mistake to let your morality be swayed by how much you like people, imo- it means you'll go places with the crowd you might not want to go- know what I mean?
