(135,425 posts)I never once said that YOU made any assumptions--I was simply responding to your general observations with my own general observations--or are you the only one allowed to opine, here?
Please remove the chip from your shoulder and take my words at face value, without adding any accusatory "feelings" and without taking my words as "personally" directed at you--because they weren't, and I took some pains to word my post to insure that they weren't aimed at you--I guess my efforts went unappreciated.
If I were speaking to/about YOU, I would have said I find it amusing how YOU assume what folks are, simply because YOUR own prejudices "fit".... instead of "I find it amusing how people assume what folks are, simply because their own prejudices "fit"...
Amusement is what I feel--and I didn't "characterize" your curiosity in any way. If you want to be curious, go for it.
I know full well that anyone can be anything they want on the internet--after all, I'm an astronaut. I've said so often enough.
