ola,
I am a woman.
WRT the following:
I AM feeling a little sheepish about the conversation with Poet today. I went back and re-read the thread. I can see that his tearing down my extensive post and mis-reading each piece in just enough of an alteration to slant the conversation in his favor is what really ticked me off.
Show me where I twisted your words.
Show me where (until the post I'm responding to now) you responded to the statements and questions raised in my posts to you.
You lost your temper and began to personally attack me precisely because I addressed every point in your posts directly, IMO.
If you actually do feel sheepish, I'll be counting on an apology, a change of behavior, or both.
