Well, I was mistaken, and if you want to characterize my
error as a "lie" I expect that says a lot more about you
than it does about me (and certainly makes it unambiguously
clear just how descriptive "tiny" is). And I'll admit when
I'm mistaken rather than do backflips trying to explain why
my mistake wasn't actually a mistake, which is your standard
operating procedure.

Read and learn: I made a mistake, and I did respond to the
original post. I apologize for the error.

Your *mistake* was a lie. Pure and simple. You made your catty response to
an innocuous post long before I even read it. So the reason you gave as to
*why* you did it *because of me* was completely made up, false, and yet
another of your attempts to continuously belittle and mock *anything* I
post. You made your snotty comment all on your own, because that's what
you do. If it makes you feel superior, important.........have at it.
Mistakes are completely different from lies. That you don't appear to know
the difference is telling.

Well, an apology *was* offered, albeit with qualifications and weasel
words. I don't expect Melinda will ever apologize to me, and certainly I
seem to trigger an instant knee-jerk negative reaction with anything I post
(including, probably, this). I also admit to sometimes "pushing buttons" to
get a reaction, and maybe that's not a very nice thing to do, so I
apologize if that has offended anyone. I try to keep things positive, and
humorous, but sometimes things just get to me, and I have to get a jab in.
Melinda seems to be softening her approach a little bit, and I can
appreciate her obvious concern for Muttley's well-being, but she seems to
lack some compassion, patience, understanding, and trust when it comes to
people.

Why can't we all just get along like cats, dogs, squirrels, rabbits, birds,
and other species? Well, some of them, sometimes, anyway

Sure, if you say so!

No, I honestly forgot the original post and thought we were
talking about the post where I made fun of you for
encouraging spammers and having ghastly taste.

But hey! You're never incorrect about anything, so you're
not incorrect about this! Dumbass.

I have nothing to apologize to you for. The way you treat
your dog is genuinely awful.

No "maybe" about it - it is not, particularly when you
deliberately repeat mischaracterizations and lies about the
person whose buttons you are trying to push. Or your latest
trick - denigrating the folks whose posts you copied to your
website without their permission, when they ask you to remove
them. That's a really snotty thing to do.

so I
apologize if that has offended anyone.

I find it offensive, and it's generally not my buttons you're
trying to push. It's pretty clear that you just enjoy stirring
the ****.

Why is it that so often, the one who is the primary instigator of
the tempest in the teapot is the one who cries, plaintively, "Why
can't we all just get along?"

Good for you. Other people might find it a disruptive intrusion by
someone who has no actual interest in participating in this group.
Those people get to voice their opinions, too, even if they are the
polar opposite of yours.

We've all done it. Melinda made a mistake and owned up to it.
Normally, this goes a long way to enhancing one's credibility.

That you don't accept the apology and move on speaks to your
credibility.

Sorry, but I disagree. If Melinda hadn't been criticizing, making fun of,
mocking, and belittling almost everything I say here, I would agree with
you, that a mistake had been made and I would have accepted an apology. In
fact, it would have been a non-issue to begin with, because I don't tend to
follow people around for the sake of sport criticism. Melinda said *I* was
the reason she belittled this poster in the first place. I pointed out she
belittled this poster long before I even read this thread. Now I don't know
about you, but it isn't my style to mock or belittle *new* posters on *any*
group I've ever posted on. My SOP is to be welcoming to anyone unless and
until they prove to be otherwise unacceptable.
