I wish I could be as self congratulating as you guys are. I would never need a pat on the back from anyone.

Basic Etiquette 101 in my social and professional settings is to not use "guys" as a general term. Context matters.

This is far from a social or professional setting.

Aw, look at her trying to be all passive aggressive because she was wrong and couldn't admit it.

It's OK. You've been wrong since your first post in this thread and we don't really expect you to change now. Hope never dies, but cynical expectations do wound it fairly well.

Are you ever wrong?

I am not wrong because I have different opinions than you. But seriously, I do mean it as a compliment. If I am ever able to go through life thinking my way or the highway I'll save myself a lot of time and effort.

And you took a sharp turn into being an asshole. Great job.

What part of your messages directed towards me in this thread weren't condescending, rude, and/or bitchy? Especially since you jumped into an already frigid exchange between two posters that was not at all related to you. Look, if you can't take the same back at you, don't post it.

Also, don't make that face too long. What if it got stuck that way?

The frigidity (is that a word?) was on your end. I'm typing about etiquette classes.

You assumed that I called something ridiculous and went on your southern etiquette rant as though you assumed that I am not a southerner. That's all on you. My points never changed and we reached an overall agreement in the end, which shows that you never really disagreed with me in the first place aside from your assumptions. Cheers, woman, damn.

If you find it condescending to have someone point out to you that the literal words you were saying were factually incorrect, then I'm so sorry you have to deal with the real world.

You retreated to sarcasm because you were wrong. You continued to defend yourself despite the fact that you were, factually, wrong. You tried passive aggressiveness and smiley faces and yet, people aren't confused and are still very aware that you were wrong. So stop trying to redirect the negative attention and actually admit your error and attempt to have a conversation on those grounds rather than on the imagined ground that you fabricated while reading DrPhil's posts.

Stop trying to make it about me, you're not even good at it.

Where is the different opinion? GC back-and-forths are not always about differing opinions. They are sometimes about people believing that you don't understand what you are reading and replying to.

The OP can use that for their etiquette class, as well. If there are opinionated people in her chapter, there may be people who want to discuss and then there can be a back-and-forth.

In reality, the posts, like me for instance, understand fully what you are saying. I don't agree with it many times, and I respond with accordingly. Just because people don't agree doesn't mean they don't understand.

I can tell when people don't understand and are quick to disagree based on their assumption. That's what you did in this thread. Cheers, nonetheless.
