No, I responded to what I found was relevant in your response. I was not “looking for ammunition,” as you so quaintly put it. Had I responded to every little pixel you posted, it would basically be me quoting you, then writing a comment, quoting, next comment consisting of “see above comment.” Frankly, my stated aim, to find out if you are as rigid as you portray yourself on the boards was met. You are, unfortunately, portraying yourself as a rigid, dogmatic, cold person. Perhaps I should have taken other posters words for it, but I like to find out things for myself. 🙂

…And thanks for the “Eh, I guess I should have expected as much.” So, what did I do to make you so defensive?
