First Simon, I dont mistreat anyone or abuse them, even females. I try not to get angry or make rude comments to other people unless they really piss me off. I dont abuse females, but nobody said I had to like them. If you like females so much, you can have my share ok? I have a good reason for disliking and not trusting females, but that is my business. You have as Timmy would put it Hijacked this thread. In that case IM out of here and you can argue whatever point you so desspirately are trying to make. Im pretty sure its to show what a wonderful intelligent well meaning person you are. After all, Im only 15 and cant possibly be smarter than you are, Right?

Ah, that is false logic!

You see, there is an intelligent and malevolent force inside each and every washing machine that works not simply to turn underwear inside out: it anticipates what you expected, and then does the opposite.

It may even be psychic. So, whatever you do, do not think secret thoughts within a 20 metre radius of any washing machine, otherwise your clothes will quickly know about it.

I was going to let this slide into oblivion, but that sent the wrong message, I have done nothing out of line. So, I am making one last attempt to talk to you.

1. you have not been accused of anything by me.
2. I did ask why you felt the way you do. I was not rude, I was interested, and my questions were civil and respectful. You DID NOT say 'it's personal, I don't want to talk about it.' Short of that, all topics are open and available. (and you did respond)
3. It is impossible to hijack a 'raw carrot' thread. They are floated to see where they will go.
4. I made no points
5. I did not talk down to you in any way, I treat you as an adult. If there is something to denigrate a wonderful intelligent well meaning person about, I would like to hear about it in detail.

Awaiting your apology, I remain
Simon

... but I have at times misunderstood your comments, and I have a lot more experience at coping with misunderstanding than I had when I was a teenager! I don't think that it's your intention, but you do come across at times as being rather condescending to our younger posters. As I think I've said before, teenagers don't have the experience we decrepit ancients share, but they do have a level of imagination which most of we ancients have lost. Seems to me that we should complement each other - that way we'll have the best of both worlds!

What exactly did you say?

Do you take issue with anything I said?

It is one thing to be condescending to everyone, and quite another to be condescending to only some. I don't believe I'm either, but would be most chagrined to to find the latter true.

I don't believe you serve Brian's best interests to run interference for him if you do not take issue....

Simon

I re-read my statment and I see nowhere where I need appologise. I dont think I said anything bad about you, altho you may think that i did. If your going to wait for an oppology, then you better pack a lunch.

Of course, I'm sticking my neck in here, but it seems to me that this altercation has gone far enough. The thread became so convoluted that I have no idea where the argument stands. (And the fact that the software doesn't present the new posts in a logical order doesn't help me.) But one thing is clear to me at least, regardless of who is right and who is wrong: it is sad when a person old enough to be Brian's grandfather just cannot let the matter drop and die the death, but insists on trading blow for blow. Where is the common sense that is supposed to be the lot of us oldsters? Please, everybody, just let this matter drop. I would be very happy if Timmy decided to close the thread, but that's none of my business.

One of those who feels aggrieved, please start a new thread with an unemotional summary of the issue.

If this new thread does not remain unnemotional I will simply delete it.

Those who are considered to have dome something wrong should then unemotionally reply

I have become lost in all of this. I didn't even see anything offensive. But it must be there or it woudl not remain a topic for duscussion.
