Are We Citizens or Children?

You even have the right to stop paying a bill and to keep using the service.

I was giving you my interpretation of what *Ulrika* had stated. Nothing more, nothing less. My interpretation of what *Ulrika stated* was different from your interpretation of what *Ulrika stated*. You told me to get a clue. Fine, you don't agree with my interpretation of what *Ulrika stated*, that is your perogative. But telling me to get a clue because I disagreed with your interpretation is just plain arrogant. You read more into what I stated than was there. And frankly I'm not going to apologize for *you* not understanding what I stated. Perhaps if you had not been rude, I would have polietly tried to re-explain. But I don't take kindly to being told off for no reason.

Hey.

Hey, now, Pen. That's not cool. Cocoanut obviously has her reasons, including that pesky history of persecution we all know and love. These reasons and others naturally excuse any and all unpleasant behavior she may ever choose to undertake from now until the second coming.

So, you know. Have some of that old compassion.

hahahahaha An astute observation.

I didn't tell you off. I said "get a clue" because you apparently did not understand that I was not the one who brought up this whole issue.

Jonquille brings the question up, it gets ignored (for obvious reasons), I comment on it, and the usual gang tries to deflect it all by turning into something about me trying to derail things. (While Ulrika stays conveniently silent.)

My thinking you didn't understand that was what was going on was, in fact, preferable to my thinking you did - which you apparently did. Which is actually worse.

Moreover, why do you think I need to have what Ulrika said/meant explained to me? Don't you think that's a tad insulting right there?

All in all, what you said to me was a heck of a lot more insulting than me telling you to get a clue. I don't know why we're still bickering about it. As I've said before, you know I don't dislike you; in fact, I have too much of a well of "like" built up over the past three years in order to let much of this interfere with that.

All the humor you gave me through your comic strip - the fact that I admired your posts - even moved to IH and plopped down in your neighborhood (not knowing you weren't returning) - all this made too big a well of good will for these drops in the bucket to much matter.

So I really had no intention of telling you off or insulting you whatsoever. I think we're bickering because we LIKE TO BICKER. Lol. And there you are, sitting firmly in Ulrika's camp, so what can you do? You're pretty much gonna - as you said before - not like me.

But, you know - maybe we have years to go here in SL, and things could change. With Enabran, though, I doubt it. He seems too in love with his own words to actually consider the truth or lack thereof behind them. Sometimes I actually HAVE disliked him intensely. (Usually I try to remember his youth, and the fact that he very much wants me to dislike him and spar with him.) But not you.
