Now, if you read my siggie in the sense it was intended, you will see the humour perhaps. There are 3 proverbial monkeys and Shizaru says I am the 4th ! To this, I add (and not "ape" ) that just as there are 3 monkeys, there are 3 idiots and I am the 4th idiot!!
I am labelling MYSELF AN IDIOT (the 4TH IDIOT) AND NOT SHIZARU. Where is the name calling?
Are you gettiing worked up because I am calling myself names?? Let me repeat for your sake : It is not "I am the 4th monkey, idiot!! I do not think Shizaru had problem with it. In fact, there is nothing in my main remark to Shizaru's comments in quotes to suggest that I have a problem with him. I am sure he would have retaliated if he had read my siggie as carelessly as you did, reading a comma where none was inserted. Only you seem to see that I have problem with Shizaru's
view point. And where am I replying by my signature to Shizaru's signature? Does anyone do that? My reply is just above my signature and it seems to be at perfect harmony and peace with Shizaru's remark. We were doing just about fine with my similar siggie remarks in some other hreads before till you saw evil where none exists. What can one say when a MOD is creating a problem when absolutely none exists? Please refrain from creating unnecessary mischief and tension again.
You could have PMed to seek clarification, if you had not trusted your own
interpretation</font><font color="#ff00ff">
so carelessly. That would have been a politer way, to use your phrase. But they say all power corrupts, and even being a MOD in an on-line forum gets heady sometimes, but I am sure I am wrong and you are more than fair. Oversight, carelessness or genuine misunderstanding is very much possible in reading diverse comments in a forum like this and, very much acceptable , but I am sure this is not a case of a bias or general show of untempered power. And therefore, it will be fair, if you respond positively to this clarification, having already gone overboard.</font>

Rest assured Sarah didn't act without being prompted...I didn't like your editing of my signature and saw it as a direct insult to me....the second time!! No need to be rude to Sarah, and in all fairness I take your point about sending a PM which I should have sent you rather than getting Sarah involved which resulted in her being hit with a long lecture
I still maintain I find it offensive and feel its directed at me, your long and over the top explanation and lessons on grammer didn't convince me. Also be advised...some ppl do believe there was a 4th monkey named Shizaru, hence my ID and signature
Sarah sorry hon you suffered because I got u involved...Nind
