I don't know. I don't know what you mean by "expressing feelings", or what you think is a "civil way" or what "dismissing" might mean to you. Since I do not understand you, and do not like what happens when we post to each other, I choose not to enquire, nor do I wish to risk "discussion". But thank you for the offer. I decline without dismissing you, and hope that I have not hurt your civil feelings (if they were expressed here) in any way. I have worded this as carefully as I could, and mean no insult, or disrespect in any way.

you would think so, wouldn't you?

especially since my remarks were not directed toward her

calling my remarks 'ugly' was just uncalled for, (since they weren't)

i took the edited, dismissive response as an invitation to argue

of course by acknowledging it at the time, the 15minute edit window was well utilized on her part

:)

Is dismissing someone's feelings hostile? I have no idea. I'm not even sure what you are talking about. I would have to see the posts. I do want to make it clear that I have no intention of arguing about this. It was just a plea to be more polite. Politely moving on now would be my suggested strategy for you. It was not serious, but going on about it for hundreds of posts would really get on my nerves.
