American girl in Italy, 60 years later

@DrewDad,

In a recent thread Setanta gloated at another poster's use of the word "mawkish".

WOW!

And some folks wonder at how innocent people get convicted.

I'm not sure we're reading the same thread....

I can not match your hysterics or Setanta's hysterics.

Not sure what your stake in this is, but really that dog won't hunt.

Bottom line: there are several people on this thread who owe wandeljw an apology.

True.

jw, I'm sorry that I've repeatedly called you a "brat" on many threads. Even if true, I shouldn't have called you names.

OTOH, if you ever re-post a photo of me again, I'll break your kneecaps!

So what? Maybe chai2 was wrong. How about addressing wandeljw's point rather than just insulting him?

Now, mind you, I'm not telling you that you're wrong. God forbid! I wouldn't want to invalidate you or anything.

You poor hothouse lily. How is that different from when you called wandeljw a troll and an ass?

See above.

Not sure what your stake in this is either. You certainly jumped into the middle of this fray completely unbidden. But then I really don't care what your motivations are. On the other hand, if someone wants to know how I feel, they can ask me.

The truth and nothing but the truth, so help him dog.

Of course it won't hunt, DD, it can't. You keep on taking the dog off the trail.

With your, what it increasingly looks like, willful lies.

How can someone be wrong about an opinion?

And I did calmly discuss the interchange. Telling someone that you find what they said patronizing is hardly outrageous; Wandel was the one that resorted to outright abuse by calling me a "******* moron."

You're welcome to your opinion of how this discussion has gone, but I don't share it.

It's quite easy. Why would you imagine otherwise?

Did I say you didn't?

I never said it was. You seem to have a tendency to create positions for me that I've never taken. Or are you trying to tell me what I really meant to say?

Shame on wandeljw. He should never have succumbed to name-calling, even after sufficient goading. What's your excuse?

@joefromchicago,

I've said my peace about it; nice try at continuing to stir the pot, though.

TTFN.

@DrewDad,

How do you know that I was trying to "stir the pot?" Are you trying to minimize my feelings? Help, I'm being invalidated!

@joefromchicago,

Now I'm going to show some contempt.

Of course you don't, DrewDad. Even since your take on the progression of events has been called into question, you've completely avoided the very things that could have settled the issue.

I'll mention, here, that this was psychological invalidation, as well as contempt.

So don't break your arm patting yourself on the back....

It has worked like a charm on you.

I can't say that I've really gotten the troll vibe off of you in the past, either, but you're certainly making your mark now.
