94. Apology not accepted.
You started out with a perfectly fine explanation and apology and thenm go right back to your same mode.

I said "don't be a jerk about it", as in the way you disagreed was jerky, not that YOU are a jerk. You on the other hand dismissed my comment outright because you already determined the ad was "frickin' obvious".

You did use the attack the messenger tactic when your explanation above was more appropriate.

The words alone "defensive much" aren't alone an attack but your whole demeanor was and it came off like a dismissive whiner (not that YOU are a dismissive whiner). Not to mention the bizarre and batty comments. Can you honestly re-read your posts and NOT see attitude shine through?

You finally realize you worded your thought poorly, but I am the crazy one?

If you're going to have a stock response you might want to move the qualifier UP from "seems to be flying off the handle" to someone who is "most certainly flying off the handle", IMO.

Did my post *really* sound like I was not interested in serious discussion?
