catch yourself:
((First:
Sorry about the “them”; I sometimes mix up me pronouns 🙂
But I didn’t say anything about that! I don’t unnecessarilyattack people’s grammar or w/ever. Anyway:))
I concede!
You carry your points well, my friend, and I certainly think
your words deserve “careful dissection.” 🙂
You have convinced me that “offense” requires intent; otherwise,
it is hurt, not offense. You demonstrated your point excellently.
Everyone’s words have the power to influence people’s opinions.
But your words have managed to influence my opinions, which is usually more difficult. I salute you.
You speak sparingly, it seems – 20 threads in a year.
I’m tempted to go through all of them 🙂
(As a matter of fact, it is often things which are unworthy of people’s attention that it is the most fun to take apart… 🙂
But it is a more rewarding experience to find one’s mind changed
than to have proven the other fellow wrong.)
