> to say "I'm grateful for never having to resort to that" That's just not a way to have a friendly conversation with someone. In this context, It's not something I would ever say to anyone I had a modicum of respect for.
In the same way that by 'story' I mean 'narrative construction' by 'giving up' I meant it in the Dennetian sense...
Basically... I missed the joke. I didn't get that the post was a joke. I thought it was serious and that you were expressing your frustration.
There simply isn't enough time in the day to go around trying to make sense of everything...
And even if there was one could go crazy trying...
I didn't mean that quite the way it came out.
But I do see that it sounds very appalling indeed.I am sorry.
I don't think I'm better than you or that my way is the only way.
Really.I think I should give up about now.
Just remember...
That I do respect you
And I'm sorry for the way things turned out
When I reread that bit I could see how it would be most likely to be taken
And so I'm not suprised you took it the way you did.I'm sorry.
And minnie too - my last post to you was similarly appalling.
Time to go home and curl up with "In Session" methinks...
