PC, did you make your original post with Alex's posts in mind? I suspect she saw a linkage that I don't believe existed and responded with defensive anger.
Perhaps we don't have the same background to understand "making up stories" in the same way. But in your usage, so far as I understand it, and meaning no disrespect, what story do you think you're making up about Babble. What story do you think Scott is making up about Babble right now? What story do you think Alex is making up about Babble right now? How do those three stories differ from the story I'm making up about Babble right now?
All that means, to me, is that we're each interpreting the facts in light of our history and understanding. It's the stories that really are keeping us apart, not the facts. I think it might be valuable to try to reconcile the stories.
Alex may have reacted with defensive anger. Which is certainly *not* a unique reaction. Did you not say somewhere in the thread that you responded with anger to posts on this thread? Can you concentrate on that similarity with Alex and possibly try to understand why she reacted as she did, if she had a mistaken notion of your intent?
