I tried but I only managed reading about half of your open letter. I felt compelled after the "please read" to actually read a post for a change.
I don't think your sigh after one of my posts meant to do anything but make me feel more alienated. "Sigh, he doesn't get it". "Sigh, he's not one of us". "Sigh..." Sort of like, the aforementioned, "Pardon Me". Same crap really.
Emotionally loaded *sighs* and *pardon me's* are allowed as *civil*. Just a different way of telling someone to jump off a cliff really.
I can play the babble word game with the best of them, but I refuse. I could run circles around you, even provoke you into getting yourself blocked, and still not be censored. I'm being nice, and extra civil, by leaving.
I could play your game but the cost is too high. To borrow from Dostovesky, "The price of admission is too high."
