Elle,
You're missing my point.
It doesn't matter WHO it was directed at. You had someone in mind when
you said it. Why did you resort to the name calling?
Why is it OK for you, but then the self-appointed school yard monitor
participates in the same activity she decries in others?
Is it a matter of degree? Is it OK for you to do a "little" name-calling
out of the blue, but when someone directs makes me the butt of their
joke, and I call it (the joke, not the person) "idiotic bullshit", you
start finger pointing about it?
And, I do hope in spite of your condescending tone (yea fellow
ritualistic humper, I know what a rhetorical question is without you
pointing it out for me) yoj will note that I didn't answer your
rhetorical question, I simply posed some questions myself.
You haven't been very good at answering them though.
