Which is what I said back on page three. We are not in disagreement here.

Is it possible to communicate without being condescending and rude?

Take a deep breath and calm down.

Don't be condescending and we'll get along fine. Rudeness isn't going to inspire me to be particularly "sweet".

I get a bit prickly when people come at me like you have.

Bring the discussion over here if you must, but the insults didn't begin on this keyboard. I will give what I receive.

I have no idea what keyboard was in use, but here is where the attack began. Whoever was using the keyboard at the time flew off the handle for no apparent reason.

That wasn't an attack. And note I used the word "insult", "big girl".

Only because in your world, you're right and the rest of us are wrong.

If you're referring to my use of "little girl," that's what I call female children who throw a tantrum. If you act like a child, you'll be addressed like a child.
