Petersen Visit update...not lookin' good

[Y33TREKker]

Well treker.....despite saying I'll leave it, that length of retort deserves a reply...
...if only so ya know it wasn't wasted effort!

I'm honored.

I think one of the problems is that so much is lost in written posts relative to
intonation, diction and inflection...

Are you admitting to it, or implying it's me who is at fault?

For instance,,,your last line would seem to suggest that you think I haven't been to Peterson Museum...??

Surely not...but it reads that way

Your description suggests that's what you perceived I meant by what I wrote, but it wasn't. And even if it had been...what difference would that have made anyway? Whether or not you've already been to the place is nothing to get defensive and angsty about IMO anyway.

You also seem to suggest that I'm linking Baldwin and the Education Program guy.....as one and the same???

My bad if it read that way.

OK, your bad.

Baldwin is taking the time/effort to deal with this guy AFAIK..and apparently got blindsided by the new rules.

I've already said that myself.

My point (if it really matters anymore!!)..and the genesis of the simple "rather harsh" comment .....
...was about the perceived mockery/parody of Baldwins efforts on behalf of others relative to another Peterson visit.
And it was compounded by the fact that it was coming from someone not even interested in getting involved.

Surely if you can poke fun/parody at Baldwins efforts with Petersons..
...then a simple "rather harsh" poke from me shouldn't lead to the this B/S.

I've already said that the intent of my joke was not directed at Baldwin. Are you even reading my responses??

As for "an old score"..lets spell it out.
The disagreements we've had regarding the voluntary yearly $20 donation to help keep this site up and running,
that you amongst others (are at liberty to) eschew.

The "old score" you allude to could be true in a rather petty world..
....but given I've made several very good friends here that don't donate either...
..I trust you now realize your postulation is flawed.

That there has been nothing for me to realize is what you still do not realize. The description you just made of our disagreements regarding site donations is a clear indication that your interpretations of my comments remain flawed.

Ya know what Treker, I hope one day we get to meet and have a beer...

I like beer.

..and maybe even figure out that we are not as much at odds with each other as it sometimes seems.

Aside from your apparent predisposition to try to portray me negatively as you continually do, I never said that we were.

Until then , I'd suggest we both need to "think twice...type once".

You first.
