Alli- yes i did find that your usage of touche implied derision. I'm quite familiar with the term and definitions, so thanks anyway. i think your usage of it was rather appropriate, especially condering the fencing metaphor. Dueling, you know.
>but I think this discussion has run its course.
It seems as if you truly meant this, you wouldn't have started another thread. I agree with you- there is a tendency towards misinterpretation of intents when we are unable to benifit from the subtle, nonverbal, pragmatics or others.This just seems like a quest to "win" and I don't mean to sound trite, but we're here to support one another. It has come up many times here and it is a immature. If we do not seem to be eye to eye with another poster then the most logical and peaceful solution would be to ignore his/her posts.
