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!
