ah, sorry, got it.

I'm pretty naïve when it comes to all this insulting stuff....

Sometimes folks don't pay attention to to whom they are replying. They just click "reply" on the bottommost box.

Good gracious--most of this thread seems to me like it's one misunderstanding after another. Myr, I've never known you to be any of those things you said you evidently were--ever. As to your first post in this thread, I took it that you were making a comment on education in general, not about Karen's in particular--but evidently she took it as a personal reference. Then people who don't know tsuwm may have taken his "someone's got to do it" as being serious...and so on down the line.

Um...maybe we can all take a deep breath, and remember that tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language are very difficult to assess on a computer screen. If I may make a recommendation, I think that if we feel upset by someone's post, it's a good idea to check with them to see if they really meant what you thought they did. I for one do quite well at making a fool of myself in other ways, without responding to somebody's insult they never meant!

BTW, where is the Tasmanian Pook gone? Last seen in the AWAD-mail issue 346 of Febr. 15. Kidnapped by Anu?

Perhaps out enjoying the last 6-8 weeks of nice summer weather?
Kia ora!
