Not necessarily.you would make assumption after assumption that are just so wrong- and then ignore other data, and just plug away- and justify your plugging away at my personal life. I think you're being too defensive. If you get offended when people remark about anything you've posted about your personal life, your family, etc, don't post about your personal life and family. but you missed the information about the fact that I was adopted at a very late age- and for whatever reasons, genetic, or earlier bonding with foster parents, my parents had very little affect on my personality. I'm almost a clone of my birth mother in terms of interests and personality- though I'm much more outgoing than she is. See that is exactly the kind of thing you shouldn't post if you're sensitive about people remarking on your family. If you post things like this, you put the information in people's head, they may remark on it, then you will get offended (or act offended, who knows?) - you can just avoid it by not throwing stuff out there. This is more advice, again not an attempt to offend - though you may of course take it that way...my parents had very little affect on my personality That's unusual if true. you were clearly piqued about being wrong about my dad I was? So, why don't you consider that, before you go out and offend more people. Or don't, and continue. Honestly, at this point, after watching you dig in deeper and deeper, I'm done. You know, I can only think of one person on SI who has told me I offended them. I put you (and several others) on the defensive with the ignore mention- my mistake. That was personal I am not offended. I don't care what my ignore number is - or even know it. I wan't offended the other times you brought it up either. Good luck to you in the future, and I hope we don't speak again. As to not speaking again, I try to hold down posts to you cause you always get dramatic and act like an offended victim over a minor comment. But otoh these are public forums and when the topic is one I'm interested in - like the 911 - Pearl Harbor comparison, or the NSA spying vs FDR concentration camps for Japanese-Americans, well I just feel like occasionally its okay to exercise my right of free comment.
