You have truly misunderstood the intention of what I was saying to Phil. Actually...I was saying to Phil what you are saying to me, pretty much.
I guess you can talk to Phil about what words posters do, did, would, could, ever, never use...whatever. (I am just lost now.) I was responding to how *he* described others and maybe I included you by mistake just to touch on all the good folks in the thread I knew weren't the way he describes. So sorry.
I was mistaken, I thought maybe you or Scott or anyone might have not even noticed that aspect of the word when repeated since you were focused on the first part of it. I didn't know you were perfectly on top of everything at all times, 'cause I never am. I pictured myself easily spacing that out, at least at fist. I guess it's just me.
I have a mentally retarded cousin, and another acquaintance who struggles similarly. Even so, I still, decades and decades after teaching myself not to blurt out that word, slip up and say it when I'm excited or emotional. "You're retarded!" was such a common expression and no one even blinked at the use of the word for the first 25+ years of my life that it did not leave my vocabulary until I gained wisdom and awareness and deliberately removed it. But, words are ingrained deeply and they pop out uninvited sometimes. For me. I'm clearly deeply flawed.
To be human and possible mis-write (including repeating) something (yes, I know you did not do that because you NEVER could - stupid me) is a bad thing? What shall we do then? How can we exist - isn't that perfection? Are there posters here who are godlike?
Condescending? <shakes head> I thought after all this time you might know me better. Doesn't that require me to be looking down from somewhere? Hard to do when I often think I am lower than snot and generally inadequate, especially when I see your writing, Scott's writing, Twinleaf's writing, et al, so on and so forth, so many gifted Babblers.
I'm a work in progress who is still a lot of crap things but condescending isn't one of them.
