You didn't know what I meant. If I erred in speaking of it with words
'didn't recall', I'm sorry those words are a problem for you. The meaning
stands. And, it's also nothing to get defensive about, in case that's what's
going on. I noted it in the other thread, top-posting, addressing to you
and/or anyone else interested. If you do not find it & wish to, let me know.

That entire paragraph is total gobbledegoop. If anyone other than Donna
understood any of that, would you please translate?

Saying I don't know *what you're referring to* is NOT the same as saying
I don't "recall" it! You never answered my question about what you were
referring to, so how could I possibly have said I don't recall it if I
don't even know what it is? "I referred to something we had already
discussed" as all you've come up with, as if that narrows it down, and
I'm supposed to know what it is? And what do you mean, "the meaning
stands"? The meaning OF WHAT stands? Can you be any more vague and
ambiguous?

I know you won't, but go back and re-read YOUR responses, see who is
constantly, insidiously taking words and phrases out and nitpicking them
instead of addressing whole meanings/thoughts, and then tell me who is
never satisfied, no matter how and what is said.

That you say you know me & then say what you've just said
here indicates to me that you don't know me at all.

I never said I know you.

We just disagree, Shirl, but, please know that I read
the whole thing, period, and that I didn't take anything
out of context.

Okay, so you read the whole thing...you still took the bit about who
announced it completely out of context. Who announced it has no
relevance whatsoever on the point I was making.

And, Shirl, just because we talk past each other at times,
just because anyone talks past each other at times, it does
not mean to me that anyone is necessarily misconstruing
what the other is saying.

You have definitely misconstrued several things I've said, leaving off
ends of sentences that clarify their meaning in quotes and responding as
if the rest of the sentence didn't exist, pulling phrases out of
sentences which takes them COMPLETELY out of context and responding to a
point I never made and then saying *I* brought it up -- that *is* all
absolutely misconstruing what I've said.

No, my opinion is based on all the same events and comments that we've
all seen and discussed. Your and my perceptions of nearly ALL of it are
different and not in agreement. And again, that's fine.

So, you choose not to answer my specific question about timeline. Thanks.

? You asked if I knew about something you didn't after the Saturday
blog. Do you see where I began the sentence with the word "no"?
Degree in communication, huh?

I continue to think getting snarky is not the way to go here.

I apologize for the snarkiness. It's frustrating when you continue to
claim I didn't answer things that I specifically answered. Doesn't get
any plainer than that.
