(CS)Give me a break, Jill. You don't have to say am a "stupid all old
woman who can not understand" to rely the message. The disrespect of
telling me I don't know what I am talking was not subtle, and made it
very clear you do not respect me. You can write all day about higher
standards of being respectful, without changing the behavior and the intend
of it. Are you denying the intent of telling me I don't know what I am
talking about? Wow, how Palestine and Israel can we get?
Give me a break. As I said, my post was directly addressed to your comments
- without the later further explanation - which to my understanding of
military affairs, DID display ignorance. Whether you are actually ignorant,
I at the other end of your zeroes and ones cannot tell - hence, my remarks
were directed at your words. My husband read it and was astounded, and, if
he were given to such sentiment, offended. If it really wasn't what you
meant, then fine. But the way it came across, the bare bones of what you
wrote left you open to criticism. You may not like that, but there's not
much I can do about it. Whether you agree, my point in the distinction
between the two types of statements was to convey that while I will respect
the person, I do not need to give obeisance to the ideas.
Further, I don't agree with your standard that we must use sweet words to
convey respect. Just partaking of discourse with you is a measure of
respect. However, as many have pointed out, I am blunt. I don't mince words,
I don't say things so that people will feel better. I think that's lying,
and that certainly does come under the heading of respect.
The bottom line - if you can feel that it was an attack, you must also
accept that, according to my standards, it was not. I'll offer my apologies
that you 'felt' attacked, but I won't confess that that was my intent or
purpose.
Regards,
Jill
