I didn't ask you to conform to anything, now did I? DrDan Dec 2012 #88
Why do you NEED to display what you will or will not do? If what you don't do were patrice Dec 2012 #91
and why do you feel the NEED to criticize my choice of posts to read? DrDan Dec 2012 #93

It bothers me because you are not answering my questions about it. What purpose does it patrice Dec 2012 #101
why do you assume I made a mistake about the OP's meaning? DrDan Dec 2012 #103
You called it profanity. Doesn't that mean that you think OP refers to sexual activity or patrice Dec 2012 #107
don't know how to make it any clearer . . . I often ignore posts with frivilous profanity DrDan Dec 2012 #108
