While that may in fact be the case, I very nicely asked her to explain who she was referring to. I wouldn’t have done so, if she hadn’t made those comments directly to my long post to you.
She asked me with the rest of you, to please read the book, and see if we didn’t see things differently. Without clarification, I can only come to the conclusion that she thinks I was somehow not understanding the full measure of his infractions, or making additional infractions myself.
I do believe I have a right to ask a fellow forum participant who seems to be taking me to task, to please clarify the drift of their comments. If they want to ignore my request for clarification fine, but don’t ping me back in to still further comments without making the requested clarification.
I’m not faulting you here, because you have a right to your opinion and I’m not going to fault you for it.
It was still upsetting to see some of the terms used in her post, addressed to my comments. So I addressed them in return.
Thank you for the response Trisham. I appreciate it.

Absolutely. I don't know why there was no response, but it may have been that your post was simply overlooked. That's happened to me before, as I'm on somewhere between 12 and 15 ping lists. The sheer volume of posts I receive makes it difficult for me to see or respond to everything.
I'm not sure I've ever spoken to hoosiermama prior to this thread, so I can't know for sure, but from my interaction with her I believe that there was no harm meant.
