Actually I thought that we had resolved it and made a point which is that in
this media it is REALLY easy to attribute intent to what has been said that
was never there. I had absolutely no intent of being critical. I was
simply musing how what had once seemed a perfect room to me seemed to be
getting a little tense and that it would be nice to go back to the once more
light feeling of the room. I meant lighten up in the literal sense - not
the cutting sense. I thought Jan was telling me to get lost when that was
not her intent. I got two issues that were critical to me resolved and am
happy about it.

So why exactly are you reading this particular thread if it annoys you? It
seems there is way too much to read in here to waste your time with things
you are not interested in.

For crying out loud you two, now a lot of people are "getting a hair
up" over your off topic duel. So "lighten up" or take it off line
please. That's why they made email, so two people can **** on each
other's feet and not get everyone else wet.

What in the world is derogatory about the term "lighten up"? It
certainly
wasn't meant to be, which is why I added all of the extra to try to
explain
what it was part of. I really, really dislike language. You need dozens
of
emos to get the right meaning.

And yes I did misinterpret your Cheers. The way it was cut and pasted
it
felt like a blowoff.... note felt... subjective not objective which is
what
I was trying to get across earlier when I said the way we were
interpreting
what was being said was a problem.

Gey gezuntgeheit is Yiddish (also German)- meaning go in good health but
that isn't enough... it is hard to translate.... kinda means we have
done
enough of this (which we apparently hadn't if we were both still
misinterpreting each other). DK

(it seemed at the time slightly intolerant
to tell me that if I wanted information on this to go to google and
then
have you chime in with an unnecessary cheer).

It wasn't a cheer directed at you. It was a good answer, imo, for anyone
who might be wondering what is going on without it being all dredged up
again and explained. Especially for an OT thread.


Apparently I'm not sufficiently articulate if you continue to think I'm

trying to pick a fight

and it sure seems that this is what you are doing.

I never would have gotten into this if the degatory comment "to lighten

up"

hadn't been said.

I wouldn't have continued the next time, if there hadn't been a personal
attack saying, *I must have a wild hair.... *

So who wanted to start a fight? Not me. I just don't like to be told
what
to do, by someone who has no power over me, nor will I tolerate an
attack
on my person. Note, I only asked you to take your own advice, and
wondered
if what you thought was my problem was really yours. Don't sling mud and
expect not to get it back at ya. ~ jan
