> I feel that your use of the word,{demand} here is inappropriate, for a request for clarification is, well, a {request},and not a demand.
> I feel that a request for clarification is good , for if the requested clairfication comes forth, then more is contributed to the discussion and I feel that more support and education could arise from that, for more discussion could be contributed as a result of the unveiling of what was requested to be clarified. As far as a request for clarification causing people to be put down, I disagree with your conclusion, for clarification allows another to , well, clarify and have the opportunity to clear up any potential misunderstandings.
> Loulou, request/demand...what's the difference? your use of the word request baffles me.......i stand by my statement that it makes people very uncomfortable, uneasy and UNLIKELY TO ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF MEANINGFUL INTERACTION WITH YOU. PAT
