Face it. You were wrong. I read it very clearly and you changed it. It's funny you feel like you were misunderstood and wronged in the process. You keep saying that about those who point out errors in your own interpretation skills.

And if I don't agree with you, there is something wrong with me.
I noticed you added this to your post afterwards. You like that edit button, don'tcha?

Where in the world did I ever say any of that? Quote me. I don't go back and change my posts ...so just quote me.

I honestly did not say that you were in an open marriage because you already mentioned that you and your DH weren't in one in a previous post.

You just like to think that I made a mistake so you can criticize me.

If it makes you feel better, then go ahead and think that. But I didn't mean that because I already knew you weren't in one.

Here is what you said:

No, that's okay. We already know how you interpret things. It won't make a difference if you do go back and edit what you said. Besides, you've already been quoted so it won't update on other posts.

Really, it's time to let it go. You are trying to fit in AND convert our thinking at the same time. That's not a good mix.


-----------------------------------------------

"we already know how you interpret things. It won't make a difference if you do go back and edit what you said".

there you go.

You and sananQT also speculated as to why others don't see things in your way and implied that those who don't have something wrong with them.

Oh lord, people who disapprove of open marriages must have something wrong with them. Wonder why? hmmmm....

Oh, I remember, you also wrongly guessed that I had some pent up rage due to relationship failure because I disapproved of open marriages. There you go.

Okay, I will make it simpler for you...

Where did I ever say that there was something wrong with you for having a different opinion than mine?

If anything, you were chastising those who differ with yours.

That's the first time you chastised those who differed with your opinion.

When you guessed that I had been burned in the past and that you sensed in me "rage". If that's not saying there is something wrong with me, then I don't know what is.

When someone says something that doesn't make sense, I like to bring it to attention to clear things up.

Here is the next example of attacking someone with a differing opinion than yours.

I was honestly surprised. It would've been chastising if I said "you disgusting people who don't see anything wrong with this".

I was attacking your intolerance, not the fact that you disagreed with me.

I think it was uncalled for, and should've used better wording, I'll concede that.

But it was not due to your different view, just the fact that you are intolerant.
