that if your purpose is to get under my skin or make me angry or get my blood pressure up, you should be disappointed.

I learned long ago on DU that one assumes the risk of attack every time one posts here, even completely innocuous posts, such as the one you pounced on (to irrationally further your own agenda and misguided belief system by attempting to give false meaning to one sentence whose meaning on its face was perfectly clear in the context of my post and in the thread my post was addressed, by means of distortion, presumption and speculation by yanking it out of context, a further logical fallacy).

I learned long ago to take the approach Socrates took: when kicked by an ass (a donkey) there's no point in getting angry at the ass. It is an ass's nature to kick. Either stay away or be prepared to be kicked from time to time.
