However, you have once again followed me into a thread just to administer another sarcastic put down.


Nope.  Saw a publically-posted message in a public forum and replied to it.  You 'sound' a bit paranoid however, when you stop being paranoid, that's when the whitecoats come and getcha?


Don't you have better things to do? Like.......go soak your head!


Didn't you supposedly "block" my posts so that you wouldn't have to support your empty contentions?  Guess that was another 'evangelist exaggeration' example submitted as evidence.

No, you were on ignore for awhile, but I want you to know that you will not have the satisfaction of telling me what to do or what to say. That's my choice.......not yours.

I made a clear decision to confront you as you think your so superior.

If that's how you want to spin it, although I could quote your own posted words.


but I want you to know that you will not have the satisfaction of telling me what to do or what to say.


Quote where exactly I told you "what to do or say" or, is that another unsubstantiated declaration to cover up your whining when challenged to support your unsupported claims?


That's my choice.......not yours.


It always was and falsely accusing someone otherwise is dishonest.  Just as I have the choice to respond to Public Posts in a Public Forum if wished, without being falsely accused of 'stalking'.  Again, it is your choice to respond or not to any public post; no one said you couldn't except you, (which turned out to be some sort of 'temporary ignore' backpedal).  My only request is that, if you choose to reply, desist with the false characterizations, (which _will_ be challenged).  Or don't however, if you're going to 'snipe-and-run' again, the false 'following me around' nonsense would ring as falsely as it did before.

Your post is confusing and has parts of mine in it, but clearly mixed up. Everybody has the option of the "ignore" button. Uh, it's a Fusion Cash option given to anybody in the forum. You can "apply" it or not. Challenge anything you want, but rest assured that everybody can go back and click on anybody's name and see where they are posting and who they are posting to.

You may perceive the post as "confusing" however, my replies separate who wrote what by _attributing_, ( as in "
"), even if they aren't always in separate boxes.  On the other hand, your reply in message ID# 446786 is missing some of these attributions so that when you posted it, it was missing some delineations separating posted comments.


Challenge anything you want, but rest assured that everybody can go back and click on anybody's name and see where they are posting and who they are posting to.


Good, that way anyone can go back and see where challenges went blithely unanswered as if the declared opinions challenged should have been taken at 'face value'.

Sorry, but picking up your quote makes mine out of context also, so I'm going to have to "break out" what I need to respond to. Sometimes I will take a part of a post to respond to as does everyone else. It's not necessary to "quote" the whole previous post at times when you are only addressing a particular point.

Now.....as I said in the other thread, it's late and past my bedtime. Say what you want in response as tomorrow is another day and the thread can be picked up then.

True however, when a quote is taken out of context, it can result in the confusion you mentioned earlier.  It has been noticed that you have a tendency to avoid addressing particular points in order to promote your own agenda.  While this is clear from your previous posts, it hardly constitutes responding to a particular point.

I have zoned out when reading to my son as well but usually its Cat in the Hat or The Napping House. Two books that I could probably recite from the front seat while driving I have read them to him so many times. LOL

I'm also guilty of semi-awareness while driving. I take the same backroads everyday, there is little to no traffic and if I don't hit any red lights or anything, suddenly I'm at work. Sadly the one thing that prevents this inattention is now illegal.....when I talk on the phone while driving the opposite happens, I'm hyper aware of everything around me including people walking on the sidewalks. I swear me being on the phone saved a man's life once, had I just been driving I would have hit him when he decided to run across the street, in the dark, between 2 streetlights, wearing dark clothing. I had just hung up less than a minute before he did that....was still in hyperaware mode, stopped suddenly and my mom starting yelling at me about paying attention while driving....then she saw the guy too. Had SHE have been driving he would have been squished.
