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.

Right is relative. Your beliefs are right for you, not for me. Mine are right for me, not for you. What I resented was the projection of your beliefs on everyone else, and the judgment of another person's relationship with their family.

What about self important females who act bitchy? I guess I should start stooping to your level. Why not? (Are "big girls" who call names acting like adults?)

Works for me. Would it blow your mind if we shared some beliefs?

Stating an opinion should not necessarily be regarded as an effort to compel others to disregard their own. I disagree with you. That shouldn't be a problem unless you take it personally.

If that's how you feel, go for it. However, if anything is being projected here, it is your own self-importance. You are up-in-arms over what? Your misinterpretation of what I say?

I already explained, and it's pretty obvious, that the lofty "you should be doing this" and "we should be doing that" and "how sad you 'buy into that'" are presumptuous.

Is a "big girl" who calls names behaving like an adult?
