> What I was trying to say was that you suddenly (apparently) casting Pat as the cat (not even sure if that was correct) and then mentioning the cat needing help to get out of the tree did *not* translate into - "I see potential/actual uncivil words here......" etc. Not even close. You had just said the cat remained civil....so I wasn't even thinking about civility anymore, and didn't know what you were even talking about.
Ah, thanks for explaining. Maybe I got carried away with Seldom's metaphor. Pat was civil to Lou, but not to me.
