> But Dr. Bob, didn't you see what she wrote in reply to my original message? Surely, it qualifies as "likely" to offend, no?
Likely to offend how? Im afraid I don't see it. If you felt offended it would have been more appropriate to have told her how you had taken it and have given her a chance to clarify her intention.
> Anyway, before you chimed in, Susan and I had already become friendly with each other (in my opinion). I think she's funny and I told her so.
Yeah, but haven't you seen you hurt her from her response to what you said?
> it was, in my opinion, rather, well, abrupt and insensitive.
Ouch, again.
> Anyway, boors are nice--they have nice faces, haven't they? So "boorish" isn't nec. pejorative anyway... Just my $.02
That would be a boar not a boor.
Bit like an *ss and an *rse.Have to be careful with animal words around here...
