KK, Do you really think that's funny? How about posting that to sar 2 days before she died? Would you be laughing in three days. We all have weaknesses and you can't always judge by their posts what their real state of mind is.

My goodness, I stay away from the board for a few hours, and look what's happened in such a short time.Thanks, Phil, but what the ( ) are you talking about? We are not 'friends,' in the strict sense of the word, but we have exchanged messages here, I've joked with you before (stupidly asking you to marry me! even), talked to you about the llama and the cat. It's not like we're total strangers. And you have never responded in such a way. Nor have you ever told me to leave you alone, so I guess I assumed the wrong thing (that you were a funny, mellow kind of guy).
Since I am no monster, and since I have never been accused of saying anything anywhere approaching "hatefull," "childish," "narrow-mined," nor "ignorant" (neither in the real world nor on this forum), I uphold my original post. It's funny and ironic, and of course we know now you don't see that. So I'm trying to make that clear. And you have to agree, it does underline the fact that we should definitely NOT swear in the direction of a particular person. Since I meant you no harm, and the post has - obvious to some - humor in it, I don't feel badly about myself, nor my intentions.
Really, Phil, it's ok for you to tease other people. But I should not try to, I understand that now. Humor is YOUR bag. So when I poke you in the ribs, for no reason except that you do it to others and thought you could get as easily as you give, I'm some kind of satanic bitch from hell - oops, there I go again... But my fault for making assumptions about you. And I am sorry that you took it so very far in the opposite direction from what I meant and from the spirit in which it was expressed.
"This should be a lesson to us all. Swearing IS wrong and bad." The Catholics win! (it's ok, whomever is still reading this boring exchange, I am a Catholic.)
Don't worry, Phil, I won't ever post messages to you or refer to you again. Nor shall I take thy name in vain.
Yeesh.
Wendy
