> It's okay, if you're referring to me babbling University, alexandra, I can talk to her here, I think. I notice my original post is unavailable as a link right now, so obviously the whole thing is under review by DB or someone under his tutelage or however that morass works. I wouldn't be surprised if I were blocked again, soon, because I feel like I'm triggering too many people or something, or maybe it's just me, I feel the blade of doom ever hanging over me here on Babble these days.
> In any case, I'm going to give University the benefit of the doubt, and believe that she honestly either did not read the last line of the post, or when she did, it did a zippo over her head. It's okay. It's all right. Please don't block anybody, Dr. Bob... it's really really painful.If you're talking about the "That's my story...and I'm sticking with it" line, well, to me that read like "that's what I think about it and I won't change my mind" or something like that. Also, its location toward the end--and that it was a "cliche", catch-all type of phrase (didn't want to write "cliche" for fear I'll insult someone--but I can't think of anything else right now)--made it look like it was a "signature" that perhaps the poster always placed after posts.
In any case, her reply seemed super rude, condescending, etc., --to me--when I perceived it that way. That's all.
Peace,
JM
