I would not say that you bother me at all. I propose a point, you evaluate it and either accept or reject it, and propose a counter argument. I like that. I do not think this is what MrsNOP was doing. She was taking the word “diminish” and completely twisting it around from my original post to find how I felt diminished by her dismissal of my thoughts.
I repeatedly told her that I did not believe my thoughts applied to all situations, especially not hers. Furthermore, this has very little to do with the main theme of the discussion. She just wants to find a crack and keep picking at it to see if she can get overall case to fall.
I never said the case is watertight, and still do not believe so. Schlessinger’s book is simplistic, but not irrelevant. Isn’t that enough? Other than trying to assert herseld, exactly what is her point?
And I’ve not found her to be so lovely at all. I’ve seen several other exchanges just like this in the past with other posters. As I recall, all were over minor points irrelevant to the discussion other than to harass and exert some impression of authority.
