I realize that real and honest discussion is impossible here but I'm entertained and wondering what's next. Can I ship you a chalk board?

I still don't understand the problem with my post #40. I honestly described what goes through my mind when I read or hear the type of comment I highlighted. I was not saying that I understood the nature of the comment, but it was very clear to me that I was making judgments. when I thought about the judgments it was clear to me that they were based on assumptions that I was making. My intent was not to be a "snob" but was to do something "snobs" don't do - I put my thoughts on the table including my assumptions and I asked questions seeking clarification. At this point, I have made more assumptions based on the responses - The primary one is that some here are overly defensive and believe there is some hidden agenda in my post. I say again, my post honestly reflected what I thought and there is no hidden agenda.
