This is incredibly insulting, and I suggest you apologize at once. 

If this was not what you intended to imply, I suggest you reconsider
exactly what it means to "protest too much". >>

    It is not I, Sir,  who has insulted Jackie, but rather you in your rush 
to judgement regarding my post. An innocent post asking why Jackie was so 
struck by David's post would never insult such a woman. Your response totally 
confuses me and is significantly in error.
    I found David's post struck a note in my heart, but after reading 
Jackie's response I can understand the tone that she must have read in 
David's post and to that end I do appologize. I do not however appologize to 
using the phase "..doth protest too much". David offered a honest opinion 
regarding a solution to the scenario as he described it. My comment was 
written and intended in the denotation of the words used. It was a very 
thinly veiled attempt to say that I felt Jackie was overly strong in her 
handling of David's post. That I think a dicussion on his scenario would have 
served us all. 
    Disagreement, in a forum like this, adds a depth of richness to the 
dicussion and to PaddleWise in general. Quelching  differing opinions 
cheapens both.

    The english language is a wonderful thing, so rich and concise. So how is 
God's name, did you deduce this understanding from my words? Nevermind, don't 
tell me, I haven't the inclination to waste any more time to correct your 
lack of understanding on this. You, sir are welcome to your opinion of me and 
of my motives. It matters not. Isn't America great?
