Well, I didn't see any smiley faces or other emoticons, I have a tendency to forget to use them when I'm among friends.
I'm sorry you're having a stressful day and apologize for apparently having adding to it.

YIKES! Too kind, but I'm not on that level. I'm not even a lawyer.
Xs is a lawyer.

That's right. I would never have the effrontery to suggest that you would charge for that kind of behavior.

To: VRWCmember
As long as she doesn't call you a "nico-nazi" she isn't insulting you. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only time that becomes an insult is if it's used against someone who really isn't one, but just comes across that way.

OK. You purposely chose to imply that xs was a hooker by your choice of wording. Then tried to make it sound like a misinterpretation. This only shows that you were being covert and ready to abandon your statement should the heat turn up. Man oh man.
