... >> Alii, you say you don't mean to make any jabs, yet when I read your post I see some jabs. It sounds like you're subtly suggesting that beardy did intend to be hurtful. Since she has already apologized and told us she did not intend to be hurtful, that comes off like a little jab to me. THere's also the statement about how some of her posts are enlightening, and some are -----. Although you include everyone else and yourself in this description, it still comes off like a jab to me.
>>Sorry to pick apart your words like this, but I get a little frustrated with you at times. Most of the time I really enjoy your posts, but then at other times they seem to have some subtle insults that just make me leery of you.

~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks Tabby for your kind words. It is hard to know if either apology (yours or beardy's) is sincere due to the nature of communication over the Internet. But I appreciate the attempts no matter what energy they were made with.
In truth, only I could know the full intent of what I post. In the same aspect, only you know the complete truth behind your words. For me to say that I don't think you truly are sorry for picking apart my words, for you telling me I'm frustrating, for saying that I seemingly post with the subtle intent of insulting others; all of these things really don't carry much meaning.
I'm glad you've gotten these things off your chest Tabitha. Perhaps next time you are frustrated with me and feel the need to communicate in such a forthright manner you could begin a separate thread so that we could discuss this apart from the subject of the original thread, but I think this discussion has run its course.
Touché.
