I didn't call you a bitch, I said you made a bitchy remark. Big difference. Don't interpret what I said as some sort of attack on you. It was intended only as a comment on the nature of the remark, given the thread topic and what some men seem to think is normal female behaviour, i.e. bitchiness.
There are a lot of people on this site whose idea of mann ...[text shortened]... apable of defending yourself, but you aren't being attacked by me. That was never my intention.
Regardless, my intention was not to be bitchy but funny. Which was not received well by you. I am sorry if I came across that way to you.

The post that was quoted here has been removedKewpie has been friendly and helpful to me as well, from the very start. That is why her seemingly out-of-the blue, chastising comment took me a bit by surprise. And for all the rudeness Dive has thrown my way, my joking "dig" seemed pretty benign in comparison.
For most people, I think there is a knee-jerk reaction to respond to nastiness perhaps in the same way. As I've gotten older, I have learned the importance of not responding too quickly to such situations. I try to stop and think before I spew. lol ...so as to not say things in the heat of anger or things I regret. It is a challenge at times 😕 But it has served me well in the real world.
I have never read where you retaliated impulsively in a bitchy way?! Thread please? lol

I think you should respect your memo thread and stop posting, maybe you will make more friends.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

I bet you could say it in your own words....and they would be more eloquent than Mr. Frank's 🙂
