> Ah, but St James. You know that truth and civility aren't necessarily connected. :) I could stand to lose some weight, but I would consider it uncivil of someone to call me fat. True, perhaps, but uncivil. I wouldn't necessarily consider it uncivil for someone to express concern about my health.
Ah, but Dinah, I did not call anyone fat or a bitch. I said they were condescending. Perhaps you are not aware that this is not the first, second or third time Liz has posted in this manner.
Again and again she posts that we are stupid, wrong, or duped. Inform yourself before you choose to defend someone.I could of chosen mean words to describe Ms Liz'es posting style. I do not see condescending as a mean word, given that is behavior happens again and again. Some of the other words used against Liz were hurtful
2) To deal with people in a patronizingly superior manner.
