Here's what I said: Come on, you're proud to be a MVP and you were absolutely delighted when you got it again last time. You know I never forget. ;-) Perhaps in a year or two you'll take it for granted and look down your nose at riff-raff who might harbor ambitions to earn the award that you remember acquiring through pure merit. ;-)

And here's your interpretation:

In addition, you've projected (erroneously) that I view anothers who might have an interest in becoming an MVP as "riff-raff". This is horribly bad. You cannot post something like that and not expect me to believe that you have some motives here.

If you focus for a second on the actual point rather than your invented grievance- if it's true that various experts simply get the award year after year without having to try, and if those same people think it's "terrible" if ambitious others answer questions on forums to try to win a MVP award.... how do you interpret that?

Of course, now that you've revealed that you think it's *fine* for ambitious MVPs to behave that way, the "perhaps" becomes less likely, doesn't it? A careful reader like you will have noted the word "perhaps" and "perhaps in a year or two" and realized what I was getting at.

And yet you post something like this. Worse, when you posted it you knew very well how I had interpreted your agreement with Marcia, yet you press on trying to imply fault and misrepresent what was actually said.

And now you come up with:

You're also into making subtle personal attacks and then trying to turn it around on the other person.

Well, the above is a classic example of the misrepresentation of which you complain. You plucked a comment completely out of context and knowingly misrepresented it so you could imply fault.
