285. You are assuming.

There is no snark here, sister.

None whatsoever. Do try to not be so presumptuous about me.

You already claimed you can't read beyond the forst lines of my posts, so how in the name of hionest discussion would you dare claim such a thing about me?

I at least believe you deserve the dignity of reading the posts you write in the threads I happen to come across. You do not afford me the same.

READ AGAIN what I wrote originally in this OP. You are expecting Members of DU to go back and figure out wth you are talking about.

You know this. I know this.

You don't seem to like that I did not call out some arley person. That is something else you assumed. What you don;t get is that I was responding to YOUR POST. You posted this. YOU and YOU alone.

You don;t need to worry about what I may or may not have said to the poster that you are taking issue with. That isn't any of your business.

It's too bad you think cigarette smoking does no harm. Aristus Apr 2013 #364
