For instance in your posts so far you have suggested that I lacked an open mind, that I haven’t seen the film, that my different opinion stemmed from inattention. That I approached the film with disdain. Implied that my inability to perceive the romance stemmed from something weird in my psychological make-up. Pitied me for my inability grasp the greatness of the film.
Some people might find that offensive, I didn’t, because I never thought it was your intention to offend.
I have no idea how old you are, but since you asked, you do come across rather young(and I don’t find youth offensive.)
Now if my reference to ten year old came a cross as condescending,(and I can see that it would.) I’m sorry. [/b]You are right, I never intended to offend. I am sorry if my words came across that way, honestly.
When I am wrong, I will apologize and admit to my mistake - and most importantly try not to make it again.
On the other hand, I sometimes believe that YOU do intend to offend people.
I appreciate your apology, and I hope that you will accept my apologies as well. Yet, I still find your newest post offensive - and here is why:
I didn't ask you how old you thought I was? I was rebutting at your offensive comment that only a 10 year old would find suspense in this film. My age is
none of your business, but I am a 26 year old woman if you must know! I happen to be quite mature for my age, as a matter of fact. Life will do that to people. So how old are *you?* And are you male or female, for that matter - I'm obviously not the only one who wonders. Since you brought up my age - and assumed how *young* I seemed??? I don't make assumptions on people's age - so I won't stoop to your level there - but I have my own ideas as to how old you may be. :rolleyes:
Maybe you and I need to simply sit back and not converse with each other any longer - I have asked you if we could agree to disagree, yet you keep coming at me. :rolleyes: I don't like myself much when I respond to your posts - some people here who have known me for years know that there isn't a spiteful or hateful bone in my body. I just have an opinion, and I don't take well to offensive people. At this rate, I am going to shut my mouth on these boards - and simply come here to read fanfic. After 11 years in FoLCdom, I have never felt the desire to leave the community because of offensive people. Thanks to you, I actually feel like I don't want to be here right now.
