But there were smileys - kissing ones. I'm sure they were there, because I took the trouble to take them out of the quote, just as you must have gone back and taken them out of your post, along with the "kiss and make up" remark. Now you've gone from condescension to something else. What do we call it when a politician denies having said something, and a video of him saying it shows up? There's a word for that ...
Yes, you are right! - I was going too fast and trying to jump back and forth between forums and I made a mistake
I did have the kissing smileys and I did take them out, when I took out the "lets' kiss and make up" closing that you apparently felt was sarcastic (though I did not intend it to be - it was just a joke), because they no longer made sense.
Should I put them back?
I meant no smileys in the serious remarks in the body of the post. Are all smileys sarcastic? How are kissing smileys sarcastic?
Now Daniel is calling me a cheater and a hypocrite and Jansen is calling me out
again!!
I did not think that kissy faces and that closing would be considered sarcastic or condescending, but apparently they were. I'm sorry again! (Will he think this is sarcastic too? Will this never end? How do I get out of this loop? I'm really truly sorry!) I can't believe I am spending this much time and taking this much effort to apologize for this and make you guys happy! What is wrong with me?
Was that mean, too?
No condecension intended, then or now.
No sarcasm intended, then or now.
No insult intended, then or now.
