No, that didn't push any buttons, didn't bother me. Why would it? I did reply to it, though. I hope you don't think that just because someone replies to a statement or question that it means you've pushed their buttons.[/quote][/b]

All my statement you quoted above referred to was the fact that you didn't "recall" my "pig post"

I was merely pointing out that you responded to it within about 20 minutes, so I didn't see how you didn't "recall" it

Actually, considering the circumstances and its context and all, I thought it was rather memorable, myself.

And, yes. When it comes to these political discussions, I "do think that just because someone replies to a statement or question that it means you've pushed their buttons"

That's what I keep telling you. Perhaps you missed it when I made that very point in another post. I agree with you. All of the responses in these politial discussions in which people disagree are about pushed buttons. Apparently you seem to think so also, because otherwise why would you keep responding?

Anyway, calling me "WAY too emotional" in these threads is about as silly as it gets, and calling my posts "rants"? :rolleyes:

Who displays less emotion in these discussions than me?

To quote my dear friend Sicilian Babe: "PUH-leeze"

And, of course, if you find my posts boring, especially the ones that apply to you, I would suggest that you simply not read them.

I am glad, though, to hear that the "button-pushing" riff of yours has lost whatever luster it may have once had and you're ready to move on to something original.

And thanks for letting me have the last word. I appreciate it.
