>>>>Pot, meet Kettle.<<<<

Oh for crying out loud - I stopped answering your questions because you were getting exasperated with my answers, you asked me new questions which I skipped over but you seemed to really want me to answer them, said if you didn't want my answers you wouldn't ask me the questions, asked me more than once and even reposted them for me to answer. I gave in and we went down that path and surprise, surprise you still don't like my answers and are *now* telling me to skip over them along with a few other do's and don'ts because you think I am "bothered." Your mind reading skills are not impressing me. If only we could stick to the *topic* rather than you getting exasperated because you have "about explained it to death" and 'either I get it or I don't' and I "probably never will"

I have no problem dropping it, I suggested that a few hundred posts ago but you kept wanting my answers.

Pot meet kettle....bwaahahahahaha.

>>>>I don't recall you suggesting we "drop it"<<<<

I didn't, I suggested I had stopped responding to your questions because you had posted you were exasperated, you told me that's what the meant. I never said I was bothered, you stated that I was and proposed a solution - based on your assumptions of how you think I'm feeling, not what I said. Kind of like this:

>>>you got butt-hurt and told me you were not a little girl or some such<<<<

I didn't get hurt, I wasn't bothered, lol at both. I said you don't have to instruct me "in that way" because you had a whole paragraph on if this and if that and "tough" and what you think I am feeling and what you think I should do about it - it was over the top. Especially when I actually liked what you said in first part of your response to me (explaining how this line of thinking changed your view on it)

You do realize that I proposed that *if* you disagreed with the 'what would baby want' question that you skip over those posts, just as you suggested that if I didn't like you constantly changing the premise of your arguments that I skip over your posts.

You said in post 499: "Makes it difficult to debate - hard to hit a moving target ;)" in reply to holly's comment. I replied in post 503 with "Then why even reply to me? If you think I am that difficult to debate with, just skip over."

That is a far cry from me saying something about my kids switching easily to formula and you coming back with:

"I've about explained it to death. At this point, either you get it or you don't."
"If you don't get it, you probably never will."
"If you get it and don't agree with it, well, I don't know how else to say this, but, tough."
"It will still be asked whether you agree with it or not, as a means of attempting to get women to look at the issue from another perspective."
"If it bothers you that much, I'd suggest you follow your own advice and just skip over those posts."
"You are not required to answer or to comment, so I'm not sure what the big deal is, lol."
"If you don't understand - sorry, I tried my best to explain it."
"If you understand and just don't agree with that line of questioning - then don't ask anyone that question ;)"

ALL I did was make a comment about my kids switching easily to formula. I wasn't saying you were hard to debate with, I wasn't saying I was exasperated, I wasn't making comments, I wasn't saying I was bothered, I wasn't saying you owed me anything, I never said you couldn't ask the question of other people in the future, I didn't say you couldn't try to get others to look at it from another perspective, I wasn't saying you made me comment or answer, I didn't say it was a big deal, I wasn't forcing you to explain it over and over.

Do you see the difference now? You (and others) made a comment about a problem you had with my posts, I said why even reply then, rather than skip them? I was NOT complaining about you - I made a comment about a personal experience - and you went off on this rant. Is it clearer now? How our replies weren't quite in the same vein?

>>>You suggested I skip over posts when I don't like what I'm reading. I suggested that you do the same thing. <<<<

Except I was fine with what you were saying, I had no problem with it (though I didn't feel the same about it) I was interested in it thus the reason I continued discussing it and asking questions and sharing my POV. Especially in that last post about it, I thought you explained your POV very well and I could see where you were coming from.

>>>But I think this is the point where one of us is supposed to say that we should just agree to disagree, lol.....<<<<

I thought it was where a couple other people jump in and take it in a new direction. We're just ending now, not even at 800 posts?

Any chance you two could shake hands and make up?


The circles are making me dizzy.
