did she mean me? she's a very nice person, so probably not. i will never know. nevertheless, i had a guilty conscience.
i added meaning to her instruction that was neither stated nor implied. it would be unfair of me to get angry at her about it.
we often feel accused or take feelings away from something we've read or heard that wasn't meant in any way, shape, or form.
my conscience about this is clear. however, if you need to continue holding it against me i will not question your prerogative to so do.
I think it is time to take this issue out of this thread. Patrice, you stated to drop this tangent and move back to the original post. It seems that you are having a difficult time doing so. I do hope that the "Admin" reads this thread and comes to an understanding that she has a problem with one of her moderators.
