No, Pallavi, I did not mean that your post was meaningless; you have forgotten that I first wrote"After all this heat and not much light, apart from this post of yours" . There can be no confusion as to my having included your opening post in the 'light' category, can there?
No, I did not read all the exchanges in the interim pages, except for a few, these endless chains of responses, where I am unable to make out who said what, confuse me. It must be my advancing years. Nor do I read many threads in the forum, except for those by people I know, and so there is no question of my playing peacemaker there, or indeed anywhere else. So your surprise at my not having done so is, well, surprising.
Even here, I was not aware that I was playing peacemaker, for that would mean trying to advise both the sides engaged in a confrontation. I simply told two young ladies, whom I know well enough to offer advice, to chill. I would never have dreamt of offering you any such advice. So where and how does that become peacemaking?
I have been in the real peacemaking business, out in the real world, all my working life, and I would never extend that to this virtual world!
I quite agree that you wrote the opener as a clarificatory post, which is why I mentioned it as casting light. You seem to be very upset with me over I do not know what. if I did, I would say sorry, not for anything I did or did not do, but for having inadvertently upset someone, in this case you.
That, my dear Pallavi, is IT. Finis, to this thread, to backless blouses, to the lot.

Dear Shyamala,I find your post here somewhat confusing. Do you mean that my post is meaningless and a slanging match? Have u been to the other posts where open bashing and fighting is going on? I didnt see you playing peacekeeper there!I intended this as a clarification post but some members came here and started fighting instead of debating. And I feel u dont appreciate my attempts at humor the same way that I do yours. That is a pity.The question is who is getting more serious and who is trying to explain things in a cool manner. I think anyone who goes through all the posts can clearly see the demarcation.

There was far too much heat here, and I thought I should so something, tongue firmly in cheek, to lighten things up a bit, but I am not sure how far it was effective. However, I am glad you enjoyed it, as did a couple of others.
My advice to you and to Waneeka (my dear, I hope you will see this!) is not to let anything here get so much under your skin that it makes you engage in a pointless debate, verging on a slanging match, that neither side can win.
You would both be much better off watching Saraswatichandra, which is infinitely superior to PR.
