> Because she said she wouldn't do something, or didn't even understand feeling a certain way, herself?Well, that's pretty close... What she says she wouldn't do, I didn't do ("To speak of private matters in a public setting, in such a way that deliberately excludes others..."). I simply said I knew Sphynx personally; it was jumping to a conclusion to say I was therefore "excluding" others.
And then, after coming to the conclusion that I was deliberately excluding others because I knew the circumstances of ONE PERSON (a non-sequitor), she comes to another conclusion, saying that I am "proud of it." And that is just false.
I was offering SUPPORT to Sphynx, and information to those who felt concern for Sphynx. And pointing out that Sphynx's cry for help was not, as others had implied, some kind of hoax, or toying with people's heads.
So, it was difficult to understand the sentence: "That I would never do," "THAT" being some kind of exclusionary behavior on my part, and also, as I said, based on an incorrect assumption.But Dinah now says I am reading my own meaning into the entire exchange, and that she will not read my posts. So it's hard to have meaningful dialogue in this kind of milieu.
