I did not say that any of these things were factually true. I don't know whether they are or not. I said that some of the phrases and ways of replying left that impression ON ME. I posted on this topic, as have several others, because I assume that you do not mean to give a negative impression, and do not have negative intentions. I used phrases such as "give the impression", "seemingly", "appear" and "possibly incorrectly" to make it clear that these are my reactions only. I tried to make it as clear as possible that this was an "I-message".
I find it distressing that you quote Dinah on civility, as it seemed as if she was one of the people who eventually left in an extreme state of distress over just the kind of failed communication I am attempting to draw attention to.
