Thanks for the advice. I choose not to accept it, and will take a block for it. My feelings were hurt and I responded. Not out of anger, but out of truthfulness. There's no reason for me to look things up and try to rephrase something as simple as expressing an opinion or emotion. I'd rather be blocked than take it back. And I feel I've done nothing wrong in this matter. Not trying to be difficult, just saying I'm not going to play a cat and mouse game and try to think of ways to rephrase my feelings on the matter. I was offended and still am. I stick with that phrase and will not change it. If it were something else, I would happily abide by the rules and regulations. I just don't see the point in trying to reword something that will have the exact same meaning as what I said in the first place. I took a look at the link Bob provided and understand completely how I could reword the phrase, so as to prevent someone from feeling put down. But, I felt put down and will not try to apologize for what I said. I will use the link in the future and try to word things in a different manner, but on this one I stay with what I said. Sorry, I won't compromise my integrity on this one. I'd rather be blocked. But, thank you for the help. I honestly appreciate it and will consider that if this happens in the future. honestly, I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm rather blunt and prefer to keep it that way. Saying something in a different way will not change the meaning. I'm just not into censoring my feelings, what little I have....
