Jim - I like you warts n'all..

But you do tend to be over sensitive and defensive, over-reacting,
and quite hyperbolic in expressing the level of unintended offence you take,
when you misconstrue what I and others have written...

I try to write as clearly as I can in my particular circumstances,
I carefully take time considering what I've written before posting,
in an effort to avoid misunderstandindgs.

But you still filter what I post, looking to take offence where none is intended...
Most of the problem is how you misconstue what we write,
Because you have a couple of enemies here,
you seem to think we are all out to get you.
Even folks trying to be your friends.

If I wanted to deliberately offend and upset anyone, they'd know it..
And I've not posted that angrily for a good few years..

I also type almost as many posts again, and then decide not to submit them,
rather than deluge mudcat with over-gratuitous wittering...

It really is difficult trying to be in agrement with you
on most major issues that matter to us all,
when you are in perpetual cantankerous disagreeable mode...

Btw.. I'm being amicable but frank...

Same as I would if we were sat across a table from each other,
though with the added benefit of facial gestures and tone of voice..

I honestly don't harbour any grudges or ill will with you...
It would be nice to feel it could be reciprocated...???

You really must have some seriously misjudged ideas about my personality and intentions...???

I only get this problem with you and one other mudcatter,
.. and he is always on the look out to take offence,
from friends and enemies alike...
