Oh...I assumed a much smaller person actually tattled to you. But you are saying it was you. That you were that little person.
And I guess you didn't notice that I also apologized to the person who launched the first volley of personal attacks. And I presume you didn't follow the whole thread.
I don't usually recommend life-style changes. But, in your case, I'll take the risk: if you could lighten up some (OK, a lot), I think you might have a future as a commedienne. But first, you must stop taking yourself so seriously.
Are you under the impression that people can't read threads they aren't pinged to?
Why would somebody tattle to ME? I'm perfectly capable of reading threads myself.
And speaking of "little persons," your number 9 qualifies you are one, whether you apologized or not.
Like I said, let it stand. People will see who has the "manners" here.
