I did not mean to answer a slight in the same manor it was fired but I see that is how it could look. If someone says something that (fill in the blank with bothers, insults, peodes, etc.) then I will let that person know how the post made me feel and usually explain that I know that offense was not intended.
As far as what has been accomplished - I intentionally kept my answer to that question to myself to see first how others respond. I will post what I think is the accomplishment to date at a later date.
Minor slights are, of course, subject to interpretive intent. I mean calling someone a Stoner could mean a drug addict, a stone crab fisherman, a quarry operator. I suppose it would depend on which one I was to determine if I would consider it a slight. This little (analogy) example is just a teaching tool which helps people to understand.
You've done a good job Dave at keeping personal jabs out of the thread. Thank you.
EB - I'm still interested to know your side. After brainstorming, I can think of several reasons why you may be blameless even though the "documents" indicate otherwise.
