Oh, and so now it's on to the condescending insults and name-calling? That's not very nice. I had hoped that you would strive for higher things. A shame.
what you did is highjack this thread.
And how, exactly did I do that? It is you who has become enraged and continue with this silliness because you are unable to understand an obvious and completely relevant joke that was in a conversation WITH A DIFFERENT POSTER.
You didn't answer the other poster's query at all; you rook it off to a completely IRRELEVENT direction
Not true at all, of course. It was a direct, complete, and succinct answer. You only find it irrelevant because you don't understand it. You have my sympathies.
and have continued to do so.
ummmm.... actually it's you who is having the huge problem here and continues to beat this dead horse, not me.
Believe it or not, this thread isn't about you.
And where was it that I suggested or implied in any way whatsoever that I felt that this thread was 'about me'? Where does this come from? Actually, it seems to me that it is you who is insisting that everything be done exactly YOUR way, the black and white zero-depth way. I'm happy to try to help you understand, but it becomes tedious when you start becoming rude and insulting when I merely deliver direct answers to your questions.
And it is a FR rule, that posters are supposed to discuss and/or debate the subject matter which appears in the article at the beginning of each thread.
Right. And so the reason you have for this endless tirade of yours pertaining to my post to a DIFFERENT PERSON, which you simply didn't understand, is what, exactly?
Neither is it considered to be good form/netiquette, to heavily bold and enlarge another's words,
So you don't understand subtle humor and you don't like my writing style. There just isn't anything about me that you like at all, is there? It's a shame. We could have become grand friends if you weren't in such a belligerent and foul mood tonight.
nor to cherry-pick a reply to you.
Actually, you're using this expression improperly. Cherry-picking is when one person asks numerous questions and the other person only responds to those that he wants to. I am responding directly to every single question and statement that you are asking me. Are you saying that you don't appreciate my efforts to directly address all of your questions?
OTOH, I explained something about the topic at hand and did , unlike you, answer the query.
I answered one poster's question in my way (which you didn't understand) and you answered a different poster's question in another way (actually, you jumped down someone's throat for a minor misstatement, but that's another matter). Again, it seems that your feeling is that you are the ultimate example of perfection in all respects, and anyone who is different is WRONG and needs to be brutally and forcibly corrected. Doesn't seem very friendly to me.
I suggest that you refrain from replying to this post, since the apparently the only thing you have to add to this thread are bandwithwasting, self aggrandizing pats on the back, and an attempt to start a flame war, through baiting.
That's odd.....it seems to me that your posts are laden with "self-aggrandizing pats on the back" because you seem to feel that you are always right and everyone else is always wrong....even when it's a very clearcut matter of you simply not understanding something and refusing to admit it.
As to a 'flame war', again you refer to yourself. I am only answering your questions, directly and completely....it is you who has become rude and insulting. And how is it that I am 'baiting' anyone when I merely answer your posts with direct answers?
Hopefully a good night's sleep will help and you will feel better tomorrow.
