Hi John,

That's great! I'm thrilled that you understand the need to remember to take the proverbial 'high road.' It suits you better as you have far too much to offer. I hope you do understand that you have managed to get the reputation that elicits a lot of knee-jerk reactions from others.

And, yes, while I specifically did not directly address you I was indeed interested in a) seeing whether or not I'd get a reaction and b) what type it would be of. I wanted to see if you'd learned anything from our recent discussions and, again, I'm thrilled that you acknowledge the need for higher interpersonal standards in online communicatins.

My posts have been quite deliberate in their intent and that intent has specifically been to help you realize how you come across to others by mimicking you back to you. I hate doing this and I hope you will understand what I meant when I posted the following to you some time back: 'Faithful are the wounds of a friend.'

I hope you will remember that when you are wanting to call someone a moron in the future. <g> Even for those of us who are. *BG*

>Had you offered something constructive and on-topic as opposed to personal issues, I would invite you into this discussion. However, you have gone way off-topic and have gotten personal. I told you in private that I in no way will I get into these sorts of unproductive battles. If you wish to contribute, great. If you don't, I can assure you that I will not be drawn into yet another useless and meaningless battle.
