>I didn't read Madeline's post as saying that, and I believe my feelings would be hurt if my own words were reinterpreted in such a manner.1) how about you worry about your own feelings and let other people worry about theirs. Madeline didn't express hurt at my taking her post that way.
2) what NOW you want to be charitable?! welcome to priming racer and well done for having got a second little please be sensitive in there...> Please consider the feelings of others when you post, please do not post anything which puts someone else down, and please do be civil, by either definition.
I'd like you to do that too please.
I have feelings too you know.
And in this instant...
I wasn't even talking to you
And the person I was talking to didn't seem to have a problem
And the person I was talking to also had the opportunity to take my point
(Which wasn't a point about being uncivil)
It was a point about civilityBOB and civilityDICT and about how those two come apart. Same point as the one I made to 10 a little while earlier. I took my pointing that out to be a reductio ad absurdum (technical term so please try not to get upset) of the view that there is no distinction. The thought being there are things that might well be true of civilityDICT that are not true of civilityBOBAnd on that note:
Please do not post to me.
You have shown you can be charitable...
But not to me
Not to me
Well thanks very much.
You might just...Fit right on in...
