Oh, gah, I should have just said that I was going to also question Sean's post, and not have gone into detail about what I was going to say, because the conversation has become about that, and it's not what I thought was the important thing. What I was trying to get across to Sean is that the bothersome part of his blowup isnt so much that he had the blowup, but that he then blamed ita for his rude behavior, and demanded an apology from her for making him behave rudely.
It would have so much better to just say, "We are soley responsible for what we post. No one is controlling our brains as we compose them and hit post."

No, really. I shouldn't...

Man, I've been away too long.

Woohoo! Double the money for me.

You paid double in the first place. You're no richer. Plus -- you're in Michigan.
ita has a good point, on both counts.
This laughter is the sole responsibility of the laugher
I forgot to say that we are solely responsible, except in the case of Miracleman, who is controled by either the ferrets, remote controlled zombie robots, and sometimes both.

Pouts.
Now, that is just unfair. Here I was enjoying the laughter and then you took it back! Not Nice, not nice at all.
Allyson, to me, your posts parsed as "You were inappropriate in what you've said, so despite the fact that you've apologized, I'm going to be inappropriate in return, while I correct you on the error of your ways."
Sean got shirty, and apologized. His first apology sucked. His subsequent one(s?) did not. ita was gracious in her responses. Whatever--they'll take it from there. By the way, I completely agree with your "we are solely responsible for what we post" riff. I'm not here to disagree with it.
But what you said about Sean's career, etc.? It sucked, too. And it didn't suck because it detracted from your point.
I'm sorry you feel that way Cindy.
I didn't think Sean was shirty.
I thought he was violently abusive. But you're right in that the bottom line at this point is that he and ita will deal with it.
