Hi Eeyore,

Thank you so much for writing what I'm sure a lot of people want to write to this guy. I'm especially grateful because he decided to get personal with me, and you defended me. I wrote that it was emotional for me and that I did NOT write to get the ball rolling, i.e. to discuss politics. Then I got called hypocritical for saying something to fromabove, who I've had a cordial communication with in the past week or so. So I don't know what that even means.
This kind of person can drive you crazy. I have snowpatrol listed under the "ignore this user" option that comes up when you click on his/her alias. I checked out the very first thing he/she said by using the "quote" option, which displays their last post, of course. It got me ticked off and I wrote back that one time. Otherwise, I'm blissfully unaware of this person's rants; I strongly recommend that you do the same and ignore them by blocking his/her posts.
Thanks again, Eeyore. I can't believe anyone thought that I was trying to divert a discussion or just veer off topic for no reason. At first my comment about the personal relationship was not addressed by other posters because it DIDN'T have to do with the topic, showing that people recognized it for what it was, and continued onward. But one person thought it would further our collective human intellect to take a pot-shot at a person who made a statement about being in love.
