it's not my interpretation vs yours. It's at least 6 different people that have basically told you the same thing. I'd understand your position in a 1-on-1 conflict; there is often no "truth" is such discussions, just increasing unwillingness by each to listen to the other.

However, in this case, you got messages from many people, all telling you the same thing. I know it is hard to acknowledge that one overreacted, but this is something that we do on ET, and that we appreciate - and which contributes to respectful dialogue.

I've tried to acknowledge your points in various comments. I'm sorry you won't see it.

If what I believed was determined by how many people disagreed with me; then I wouldn't be honest so just because 4 or 6 people thought I overreacted to Fran's comment doesnt make her comment any more constructive to me than the reasons I have stated.

Majority doesn't rule one's thoughts.

but the majority does have a say in defining community-preferred behavior.

The benefit of what doubt are you claiming for yourself?

You have been incredibly arrogant and rude and have dismissed attempts to explain and discuss with you by yet more arrogance.

There's clearly something you don't get about this place.

'Arrogant and rude'-How dare you!!! A difference of opinion and not acquiescing to to your comments does not make one arrogant and rude. Perhaps 'There's clearly something you don't get about this place'

How dare I? How dare you tell Fran her remarks were "anal retentive", to choose but one instance? That's not arrogant and rude?

The same could be said for your comments if you continue to comment.

It's getting pretty comical. You really are desperate to have the last word, aren't you?

So go ahead:
