Default I messed up. Now I need to screw into particle board.

Instead, you opted for turning it back on me. Go ahead, I can take it.
In fact, I'll even apologize if you found my words too harsh.


Apologize? For what? Being someone who does not employ diplomacy or
courtesy in his written communications? Don't be silly, this is
Usenet and you are who you are



If you felt an apology were in order for the words you used, you would
have apologized and the entire matter would have been closed.



When people communicate the way you have, it is as if they are hanging
a sign around their necks saying: "I don't play well in the sandbox
with others." That is fine, but as with Mr. Trump, don't be surprised
when you reap what you sow.


All this from the guy who said:

"Oh good, the first ****ing contest of the day, whoo-hoo."

...snip...

"Did I satisfy your need for ****ing contest?"

Sandbox? It sounds like you play in caged octagon. As soon as anyone
questions your assumptions or points out an error, you go on the attack.

When I offered a clamping alternative for clamping something to a long
object, and you shot that down too, totally missing the point as to why
I brought up the method.

So much for playing nice.



Derby, I am sure that in your mind you have been unjustly chastised.
The fact that you are attempting to play tit-for-tat, without
examining the tat component, suggests you are not prone to
introspection.

Before responding to you, through this silly-ass ****ing contest, I
re-read every word I wrote, several times. I accept fully
responsibility for everything I have written both serious and
facetious.

Let me suggest that you go back and not simply review what I have
written, but take a close look at what you have written, and how you
approached this discourse. Keep in mind, we are not either Vulcan's
or computers and ask yourself if you bear any contextual culpability
for what is rapidly becoming a very unproductive and tedious exchange.

If upon a modicum of introspection, you discover your own culpability,
then take the lesson forward and let's just drop this entire exchange.
The last word belongs to you as I have no desire to further singe your
feathers.
