I am so very sorry if I have hurt your feelings.
I would never have dreamed of asking another poster not to post to me, though I have often wished it. It wasn't until it happened to me that I wished it out loud. I can't recall ever attempting to hurt someone with a post, though I admit I have called what I thought was a spade, a spade.
To that end, please understand that I did not say or imply that I wished you not to post to me. I did, however, say that requests for clarification were unwelcome.
I have a difficult time reading your clarification posts, Lou. I am impatient and get frustrated with my ability to decipher your language and punctuation in those posts. I don't have and can't take that kind of time.
This doesn't mean that you can't respond to something I have said; it means that you must take my words at their face value. Respond to what you think it means. That's what most people do here, and when others misunderstand, the original poster usually explains.
Most of the time, posters have good intentions, not bad ones. Assuming good intentions when not sure about someone's post would help with morale around here. Some people, alas, are unable to do this and automatically assume the worst of others. Some of us are wired this way due to illness or past events.
I believe you are kind at heart, and you have a good sense of humor. I have always enjoyed your funny posts on PSB.
Please remember that, while many seem frustrated, few are mean.
I will be doing my best to stay away from this board, so forgive me if you reply and I don't. I simply wanted to clear up any confusion and wish you a Happy Passover next week.
Take care,
beardy : )>
