In reply to changing my phrasing... » Dinah, posted by twinleaf on December 10, 2008, at 13:10:24
All that's coming from me is the statement that I feel unequal to the challenge of phrasing myself in such a way as to cause no offense, so I am withdrawing from this conversation.
I have apologized for expressing myself so poorly as to lead you to feel accused or put down. I cannot, with honesty, apologize for intending to lead you to feel accused or put down. I am at a loss of what more to do, particularly since I feel no confidence in my ability to restate anything in any less offensive way.
I'm sorry I'm unable to offer anything more.
I suppose I always hope that two decent people who wish to maintain a positive relationship can work out disagreements in such a way as to add depth and strength to a relationship. I am sad to see this discussion end without that happening. Given my positive feelings towards you, I regret it very much.
