And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

I'll "stand up" right now. You sure insulted me somewhere else on this board, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to go find it.

Permitted to disagree? Conceded. Permitted to name call, make personal, insulting remarks and misrepresent the contents of posts? Non conceded.

Disagree all you want, but quit whining about *us* being "more sensitive than " because we object to the name calling, personal remarks and misrepresentations.

Exactly. You never, ever once said that I have insulted you. I find it very hard to believe you or H&IM would ever hold back on something like that! As you concede, this is the first I am hearing that I have ever insulted you.

But if you are much more thin-skinned than I (and probably others here) previously thought, I promise to watch my responses to you in the future. I am glad you told me this. Feel free not to soften your responses to me in the future, though I do wonder that your tone so contradicts your newly revealed sensitivities. Everyday's an education, isn't it?

Again, this is the first I'm hearing from you that I have ever insulted you or called you names.

I will certainly tailor my future responses to you in light of your newly disclosed sensitivities. The tone of your posts has always said differently. But I do thank you for being so forthcoming.

Am I only permitted to find your behavior offensive if it's directed at me personally? Insults, personal comments and name calling is offensive, even if I'm not the target of your bile. What kind of world do you live in that insults are permissible if they aren't directed at you?

What a passive aggressive copout! You're not responsible for your vile behavior if no one complains about it? Bad behavior is bad behavior, whether people tell you you're behaving badly or not. You're old enough, presumably, to understand the concept of self control and being accountable and responsible for your own behavior....so this whole passive aggressive crap about how "no one told me I was being insulting" is just lame. Newsflash: name calling is offensive. Personal remarks intended to be insulting ARE insulting...and offensive. Deliberately misrepresenting and misquoting people is offensive--even if those complaining ARE NOT the targets of your ire. And since you are not, presumably, 3, you should have already known this so get off the "poor little misunderstood me surrounded by the uber sensitive."

Not getting called on something doesn't mean you didn't do it.


Do you think it's not stealing if you don't get caught? Because you're using the same logic here.

<<J. obviously read this exchange. If she were so insulted, don't you think she would have said so? >>


Nah. She's not a whiner-baby, nor is she the type to try and deflect the debate by calling personal foul.

I don't think I've ever even posted a message to you here! Gotta love the pile-on.
