As to my shredding you on one of your pet interests, in public, I probably won't do it. I shall continue to stay off those threads and allow you to do the damage to yourself; you need no help from me, in that quarter.
Oh, so now I'm "shrill", am I? Funny, I would have taken strident, I would even have accepted imperious; I shan't accept "shrill".
The less said about this, between us, the better.
Sorry to have offended.
Sorry authentic earnest heart felt replies are seen as smarmy etc.
GBWU,
Shoot, I'm shrill at times.
I don't see a lot of difference in many cases between shrill and strident.
