First let me start by apologizing if I offended anyone. I should, and do, know better than to get into a shouting match, especially in public.

Spinny I was mortified when I read your reply! I honestly don't recall ever saying that to you or anyone else! I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that I truly don't recall it. It is so out of character for me. To even think I would have talked like that (even in private) embarrasses me to the core, as it should.

I will tell you that if I, or anyone else, ever talks to you like that, that you promptly take a snapshot and send it directly to LadyCFII. It is unconscionable, and should never be tolerated.

As my family can tell you, I tend to be a bit egotistical, opinionated, and Yes, I can be argumentative, even obstinate. That's just "me."

Like everyone, I can also get in a bad mood in which case I'm down right unpleasant to associate with. I think I know when I'm in one of those moods, and generally try to avoid the forums till my head clears. To be honest when I am in a foul mood, people (even on a computer screen) are the last thing I want to deal with.

I will stand up for what I feel is "right" and will heartily defend anyone, or any cause, I believe in. THAT is the old soldier in me. So when someone attacks this forum, it gets my dander up in a hurry.

While I try to remain level headed (even in a heated discussion) I must admit I don't have the patience and calming effect our beloved Barbara does.

I meant it when I said if you have a problem with the forum you can talk to me (or any of the moderators/administrators). That is what we're here for. It doesn't mean we'll always agree with you, just that we will listen.

I'm afraid I also meant it when I said that if the forum is making you unhappy, then maybe it's not where you should be. After all, we all want and deserve to be happy. This forum, and especially my small role in it, makes me very happy. If it didn't I wouldn't be here.
