No, still searching, but challenging others as well -- to stop and look objectively at "why" they feel the way they do. I'm always "open" to respectful dialogue, with emphasis on respectful. It felt like you were jabbing your finger into someone's chest, perhaps mine. Perhaps, a misconception on my part. That's what it's all about, isn't it? Open dialogue. I hope you will choose to join me in dialogue.
Sorry, that was really meant more for Abba..but open dialogue, I meant what I said, even if it was my perception that you disrespected oldladywaco. We have to start somewhere, but respectfully. If it isn't said respectfully, how does anyone expect to be heard. When you are rude and condescending, you are already sending a message that you consider the individual you are responding to of little consequence. Yes, I have been known to be found guilty and so I say mea culpa, but I really attempt to not go there.
