Whether this non-graciousness is a 'defect' or not is a judgement which you have apparently made of me.

I personally don't feel threatened, I just have no interest in reading your comments/threads anymore. Zero interest. I put you on 'ignore'.

Yes, a judgement, as it was yours about others. As I said before, off-putting.

(To thine own self be truth)

That's all.

I think mordant said something similar to this. Two atheists agreeing on the same origins for something spiritual means it's proof positive their opinions are factual. At least in my holy book.

The tissue line had me laughing out loud - with coffee in my mouth! Not good

A bit off topic but I've heard people say "We're so blessed" and it always seems a little too smug and self satisfied. I grew up in a Catholic home but I left the church as a teenager and I don't remember anyone ever using that expression.
