In terms of the 'accusation' stuff. I didn't mean to 'accuse' her of being accusatory; I was just reporting on what I took to be a fact after reading her post in which she made a number of accusations.
Perhaps seeing the post as accusatory is more my idiosyncratic judgement rather than what the majority took from the post?
Suggested rephrasings most welcome.
Sometimes it is hard to think of them,
But if one cannot then one is left
either keeping ones opinion to ones self
or with civility warnings.Yours respectfully.
