Beta, you know that I have tremendous respect for you and I have no intention of dragging this on except to say this. Then I wash my hands of this.

I think I'll be the judge of what I think, and I certainly don't think he is a threat. I apologised to him in an email and asked for the same in return, but he seems to be so arrogant he can't even apologise for upsetting me! I hate people like that...sigh
Since you are determined to hijack this thread for your own self-serving reasons, I'll add a couple of comments.
First of all, your incessant attempts to project emotions onto me are pointless. I was NOT angry. I was NOT excited. I was NOT upset, nor am I now. The closest that you have been able to come to exciting emotion in me has amounted to nothing more than mild annoyance.
Now, regarding an apology. If I felt that I owed you an apology, I would be quick to give it. I will apologize to ANY reasonable, sincere person that I have offended. In fact, I'll go ya one more. I will apologize to any SINCERE person that I have offended, whether they are reasonable or not. But your offense is obviously not sincere. It is agenda driven. For me to apologize to you when, 1. I owe you no apology; and, 2. Your offense is contrived; would make my apology insincere and dishonest. Your apology to me was obviously given for no other reason than to try to force an undeserved apology from me. I won't play your game.
How do I know your offense is insincere and contrived? I capitalized a total of TWO words in the post that elicited your first accusations. I pointed out to you that capitalization of a word here and there was obviously for nothing more than emphasis. I pointed out that you had capitalized an entire sentence. Your response?
DrPoodle Wrote:I replied with capitals to enhance my point, but it was in no way offensive.
So when YOU do it, it is merely to enhance a point and was "in no way offensive" but when I do it, it is angry and offensive? What entitles you to special rules? I also know that you are a staff member of some sort on another message forum. As a former forum owner, I know first hand that it is impossible to remain in such a position for any length of time and have skin as thin as you pretend to have.
Additionally, in your demand for an undeserved apology, you said, "What happened to discussion on this forum...did it suddenly die or do
all of you think everyone else is some kind of threat?" (Bold face mine) Things suddenly went to your pretended offense to what
I said to "all of you". It sure looks to me like there's something more at work here than meets the eye.
As to your suggestion that I feel threatened by you, C'MON, Poodle. Don't you think you're getting a little bit ridiculous? How could I possibly feel threatened by you? You are (as are we ALL) nothing more than words on a computer screen. How could I possibly be harmed by words on a computer screen?
Frankly, Poodle, your whole "offended" act is shamefully transparent. You are only making yourself look silly and immature. But you're going to have to continue that on your own because I am not going to respond to any more of your taunts.
