It seems to me that the word bickering is seen as a threat and insult on this forum but I don't know how that can be???

It is just an word that means argumentative.

If you all read the whole thread after I decided to end the conversation.

Tessa and others asked me to continue. I made two brief defenses of my view neither of which involved personal attacks or rudeness of anykind.

Then as Widget says it was all getting argumentative so I said I might deal with the replies but probably not and suddenly I'm being accused of bad behavior??

I was just trying to avoid exactly what Widget is trying to avoid and suddenly I'm an inconsiderate bad guy who wont accept freely offered advice and throw threats around!!!

Surely you are referring to someone else???

I don't understand.

I have threatened no one, I have not attacked anyone and the word bickering is just another way of saying argumentative.

What has everyone got so upset about????? Did I miss something?

When I said I might deal with you're posts later did you think I meant deal with them in a Goodfellas way??

It is not a threat?? To deal with means to sit down and type an answer not to put the reply in the trunk of my car, drag the reply out to the weeds and in Mafia lingo whack it.

Also the people I have defended my views to where not giving me advice they where mostly disagreeing with me and telling me that my views where wrong. I think it is only fair for me to defend my view in this circumstance.

It seems that what many of you where saying was cool at the beginning of the thread you now see as threatening negativity.

Why do you see Dragonsmuse, Diamondcontrols and Ruby's posts as totally reasonable and just offering advice but mine you have decided where negative argumentative and threatening.

Why be so positive all the way through the thread then find fault with the last few posts non of which involved insults, attacks or threats???

Is it me are are you finding negativity where I'm just passionately defending my view and threats where I'm just trying to do what Widget seems she wants me to do which is not to get involved in an argument???
