You have a foundation for saying that you perceive me to be more hysterical than most, but you do not have a foundation for calling it a well-established history or for saying that I am way more hysterical than most. Those are statements framed as objective fact when in fact you are only stating your perception.

That's certainly true. But these aren't the kinds of statements that can be measured in chem lab. The astute reader is sure to understand that I am stating my opinion, and based on his or her own recollections of your posting history, is free to conclude whether I am accurate.

Yep, and an astute reader noted that you were exaggerating.

That same astute reader who accused me of going off the deep end with Cinderella?

Shall I mail you a kewpie doll, or do you need to process this whole thing some more?

For one thing, we'd have to define hysterical, wouldn't we? For another, you often accuse people of posting emotionally when neither they nor others reading think that the posts in question are emotional.
Examples?

Your exchange with Allison over her weight where you accused her of being emotional when she clearly wasn't.

You and Allison seem to have this fondness for words like "accuse" and "stab." It's weird.

If one person says I'm overreacting, I can disregard it, but when several start saying the same thing, I usually stop and try to examine what I've been doing. YMMV.

Any number of exchanges with me where you misread me and then apologized when I pointed it out. Guess you forgot the second part of most of those, eh?
That never happened.

Bwawwhhhahhhhahhhhh! Ok, whatever you say.

I corrected two words you misspelled. Normally you wouldn't have, but I suspect you're posting while emotionally overwrought.
See, there you go again. *wink*
