No, Deegs most definitely was not asking about that.

The thread was, for the most part, lighthearted banter. Until you joined it, in pedant mode, and dampened the mood somewhat by implying I post without thinking and to cause conflict.

But, hey, it's a public Forum. Why not just post the rest of what's on your mind anyway? You usually do. Unless, of course, you want people to massge your ego a little more.

Now, that ^^^^^^ was me still being restrained Nod

It's asking an awful lot for a chap to 'get' or 'understand' any forum woman.

To understand someone has something to do with being able to see the world from their point of view, feel their emotions, grasp the nature of their experiences, appreciate their sensibilities - and transact in the world through which they proceed, in which they engage etc. etc.

It's to have some real empathy too.

And how can any forum woman (in truth) understand chaps like me? There would have to be huge leaps of imagination - and lots of trying to get at the tone of voice and registering my ego-defences ...

So, I'm starting from the basis of being pessimistic about any real and sustained mutual understanding ...

BUT there are glimmers of other selves - and that's when a person talks in a certain voice ...

and there are patterns but they only (to me) reveal a partial self.

Nooooooooo Eeker have a

What I MEANT in my OP was when all it takes is a few words (and hardly any smilies) and people just immediately "get" your humour/point of view.

Nothing to do with liking/not liking another FM. It's not one of those a Forum popularity threads. Jeez.......hardly anyone GETS me sometimes Crazy
