Hi Cobalt....I am not sure I like this thread. When you say negative things about how California people think it makes me feel bad. I always hear how other states don't want people from California to move in. I think New Yorkers have been living with this for years. I think this can go on and on and on. I think everyone is going to end up with their feelings hurt. Thus the name I guess. I am going to the gym and then back to DAR. Mel

<<I won't accept any apology if you keep blaming me. You did something offensive, as you admit, and I was offended. That ought to be the end of it.>> At least he didn't pee in you coffee pot.

> If you don't think I have the right to be offended, don't bother to apologize.< You have every right to be offended. No problem. But where you crossed my line was to effectively tell me to go f*ck myself. That is something I read as a personal attack. And it connected. Oh so solidly. I am hurt. Because you X-ringed me in some of my deepest psychic scar tissue. >But that's a far cry from accusing an entire profession of being liars, cheats and theives.< If you really believe I was doing that - more to the point if you believe I had any intention of doing that - I despair of arriving at common ground. Look. I did you a wrong one and I'm sorry and you're pissed off major. That is real. But it is equally clear that you don't want my apologies. I'm in a no winner here. My proposal is this: I will not post to you, and I will not talk about you or your posts in the third person. You can post to me or talk about me; no point in my expecting you to pay attention to my preferences. We'll post to the same people on the same threads and just politely slide around each other. But while I will strive to be polite, do not expect me to be cordial. It just wouldn't work. Because someday somehow I'll trip over something again and draw your wrath. Goodbye, Cobalt Blue.
