DW_a_mom called me an idiot with her incredibly crafty use of language, and her Charlie Brown comments. I'm not that crafty with language. You have the stupidity to mess with me, then you're stupid enough to deal with the consequences, in plain English. I have no special way with language. If someone tries to provoke me, they should be held accountable also. Especially when they are neurotypical and know exactly what they're doing.
I'm happy to link the thread:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt139347.html. For the record, *I* can relate to Charlie Brown's cluelessness, seriously many people can which is why he has endured so long, but I didn't want to state that least you think I was trying to curry favor since he was a favorite of yours. There was no "crafty use of language" intending to call you an idiot, or at least not intentionally. If I implied something I didn't mean to, and third parties agree with your take, then I'll accept that criticism and apologize; I know I'm not perfect. I am really, really sorry we have not been able to reach any level of understanding with each other.
And I'm sorry for posting on your support thread. But if you are going to attack me, I'm going to defend myself. Same as anyone would.
Also ... if you took my reference to Charlie Brown as a reference to you, why did you not take in the heart of gold part, but focused only on the "can be a little clueless" part? (I'm not going to claim I wrote the heart of gold part as a way I could relate, personally, to Charlie Brown; that is a simple statement about the character.) My sentence was about why I LIKED Charlie Brown; how that turns into a crafty put-down I'm still trying to figure out.
EDIT: I'm going to apologize for upsetting you. Its taken me a while to realize it, but I think just my presence bothers you. So ... I should have just never posted to you at all. I'm sorry for making things worse by not figuring that out earlier
I hope you are OK.
