20. I did give you a break. It was delivered straight with no emotion unless you count "important" as emotional.

I dryly wrote:

Important spelling to take note of
Newsom

Judging? 1) Everyone judges everything of necessity: it is called evaluation. 1b) Those who want to avoid being "judged" or having their utterances evaluated should not write or post or speak or leave their homes. 2) Noting the spelling of a key Democratic politician is not "judging" the person who wrote it. Making a spelling mistake is not a character flaw. How a person reacts to a dry spelling note does reveal character.

My first note was directed to you. My second note was not directed at you or mention you or refer to you. All the same, a spelling mistake, per se, is not disrespect. I did not say YOU were disrespectful. Rather, it should be clear that fixing spelling and being interested in not making the same mistake in the future is respectful to a politician on at least a minimal level. I deliberate mis-capitalize tRump's name because I do not pay him hardly any level of human respect. Even my first note did not mention you since I was not critiquing you; I was critiquing the spelling error.

As to the content of your post: your suggestion is fine but neither noteworthy or exceptional so I passed it over. I don't have much opinion about it.
