I had the same impression you evidently did: that the only way for her to continue the discussion was to say things that would get the thread closed. I assumed she meant Eric's-Grandma-banned language and since I wasn't able to imagine that an idea could offend someone so much I wondered if perhaps I hadn't done something to upset her so much. So I wanted to say that she didn't have to air her opinions on me in order to continue discussing the idea in question. If that was the problem.I didn't think that it WAS because of a personal dislike. I meant that IF it was, that was okay with me, I was still interested in her ideas. And I still am. I said, "regardless of what your feelings about me are." I was trying to keep the discussion from centering on personal disputes and keep it about the ideas themselves.I don't see where I did call her chicken. But it DOES seem to me that she is deliberately avoiding discussion. Clearly she doesn't feel like going into it and that, to me, is a shame. Because I remain interested in what she has to say.But just to be clear, I don't consider her a chicken, I don't think she used foul language or insulted me at all. I understand that she considers my ideas incorrect but I don't know why because I haven't been able to understand what explanations she's made. She seems to think she's explained herself well enough and maybe she's right, maybe I'm just unable to get it. I've never been the brightest bulb on the string.I hope that's all very clear.</blockquote>
