Fal: I don't think she was referring to you. She replied to Myr.
Here is what I emailed to her:
I think you misread to whom Myridon was referring, because he was actually commenting, in the first part, on BrynJones's post, who used the "some", "not all" etc. It was not directed at you.
The second part, referring to the meaning of "potus", was directed at you, and he did get that you were joking, because he joked back with a reference to GWB's infamous drinking.
Maybe I got it wrong, but that's how I see/saw it. Feel free to rip it up.... I can take it... ;0)

Noticing, of course, that she has not responded to any comment.
We need not be arrogant, none of us.

It certainly is not the first time someone potentionally interesting gets rebuffed at the first posts. My American nephew got such a negative welcome here, that he soon dropped his efforts. A pity. It was chance missed to share something with a distant (in distance) relative.

It certainly is a pity: a person may give some very enlightening
insight, but won't come back because of the arrogant comment
someone made to drive them away. There are other sites similar
to this one, and I hope they find better treatment there, and
enjoy their stay. This is not the private site of any of us, and
we need not rebuff anyone. There are lots of dead threads with
persons who contributed and who are no longer contributing.
And this could be a major reason why.

well, people move on, different circumstances mean different actions, and life goes on. some of us are less active than in years past, because our lives have changed.

Yes, a good hippotamus skin is a must. And people move on.
But I stick to my original concept: we do not have the right
to be arrogant and drive others away. HOW WE SAY THINGS,
Matters as much as WHAT WE SAY.
On another site, the word for the day is PERNICIOUS
and the definition from Wiki is "causing much harm in a subtle way." Let's not let that happen.

I think my skin has been breached. Evidentally I'm pernicious, arrogant, crude, negative and insulting. Perhaps my wounds will heal someday. Goodbye all.
