What you did, armed someone without as much style and whit, as you have. The friend of my enemy, is my enemy.

I am a VERY nice person. I just don't much care to be insulted / made the object of scorn and derision. Go read the thread. See for yourself ; since you have now placed me in an untenable position. No matter what I now say, to you, you have decided that I am some kind vile subhuman.

"Some kind of vile subhuman?" Those, my dear, are your words, not mine. I have made no such decision and think no such thing of you. And my misfire notwithstanding (I will apologise once more for it if need be), I am hardly responsible for some other being's misuse of my word or imagery or whatever. Any more than would you be responsible if someone had done like misuse with your word, imagery, or whatever.

I, too, am a very nice person. I am also a very human person, who is only too prone to making very human mistakes in spite of reasonably honourable intent, and obviously I have made one here. It would be neither the first nor the last time. If I were perfect I would be God, and I have enough trouble doing my own job without even thinking to trying to take on His. I should just as soon have done with this entire misunderstanding rather than have someone think something which simply wasn't intended to be so.

I too, would like this to be at an end. Since we are in complete agreement, on this matter, so be it. :-)

We have always been civil to one another. We have even managed to have a good time together, or so I assumed, discussing other topics ! If I have read something , other than your intent, into your last post, then I apologise. I am not GOD, either, and never have imagined that you, nor I was. Perfection, is quite out of our realm.
