Blimey! Who pressed her button? Since the world hasn't ended, I was just coming in to get you two off the couch - and what do I find! China banging heads together! Ouch! Gerroff!!
Mibs, Goodness me! It never occurred to me that you would ever present a situation in which I would have to defend myself. The very idea! I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. In fact, I think you are quite brilliant! However, since it's become clear that you are such a very private person, and since I abhor rudeness and bad manners,(although I incur such at times), I would never wish to be accused of displaying either, and so I tread a little warily with you, that's all. In my own mind I seem to have decided where you would want the line drawn - hence my admonishment of Theland a little while back - but my reference to line-drawing was never intended to offend. I was simply being honest about the impression I've gained of you. In future, I'll try not to take myself, or you, 2cweusly, and I'll make a conscious effort to overcome the barrier. Perhaps we don't need that appointment with Relate after all. :o)
I thank you for your kindly opinion of my somewhat haphazard abilities and methods. Whether or not I wield a weapon ominously more devastating than my ability to swipe Occam's Razor in the opposite direction, I can't say. Whatever it is I wield, it's inbuilt. It requires no effort from me whatsoever, and I have no control over it, so I can't in all honesty take credit for it. I think it must be a natural product of my wonky brain - but thank you anyway.
