Apparently it hasn't occurred to you, Sal, that you've only seen me on only one electronic forum. I actually vastly prefer to have reasonable discussions with reasonable people of goodwill, which I do on other forums (and do with reasonable people of goodwill on *this* forum as well), and of course in "real life." And even with the people here who are not reasonable and not of goodwill, I rarely pick the fights. In most cases I'm responding to one of them picking a fight with me. So > while normally I don't respond, every now and then I get the > feeling maybe it's possible to reach a better aspect of her, Oh, please. *Every single time* you've picked a fight with me, it's been on the basis of taking something I've said in the worst possible light and completely missing the point of what I've *actually* said. In my book, that's goading. It's exactly what Barry and Shemp do. > which it usually isn't, unfortunately, as the need to be > the center of attention drives away all the others. In your case, that would be the need to explain to you what I *actually* said and meant. Unfortunately, it never seems to work. Oh, wait, yes, it did *once*, and you responded with an apology.
