[Monica]

Never mind Monica, I had hoped for a willingness on your side to look at this issue from my perspective, since I have looked at it through yours. Starting at the first post. And understood there is no real harm intended. I wish you'd do the same so you can see my point of view and understand my position. You express that you have no interest in doing so. I will adjust my expectations.

This isn't about point of view. You are entitled to your point of view and I am entitled to mine.

However, neither of us has the right to insist that the other person is saying a certain thing, when they tell us that's not what they're saying.

I'm always happy to look at your views, which express your perspective.

However I'm not interested in your opinion of what *I* am saying, when you clearly are misunderstanding me.

In other words, I'm happy to consider your point of view, when you express it as your point of view.

I'm not willing to let you dictate to me what my point of view is.

Stick to your own views, and we'll be cool. Start telling me what my views are, and we're not cool.

To Ankh and Meerie: Since you agreed with Ali's above post, I will address you also: My words weren't offensive. Proof of that is that at least 3 other people commented favorably on the exact same words, to the point of being blown away by how 'insightful' they were. This shows that the words themselves weren't offensive, but in how they were perceived.
