Gup;
And steaver, what do you call a personal attack?
A personal attack is a comment against personal character which has nothing whatsoever to do with the issue being discussed. ie; "
I thought you were a woman because you are emotional".
Now if a lie is committed and I say you lied that is not a personal character attack, but rather pointing out a known truth. ie; "
Your appology is a lie and only piles one sin on top of another". How do I know this is a lie?
Gup;
Let me put to rest this nonsense by stating that it is not, and has not been my intention to raise any personal attacks, but simply seek to uderstand you and your arguments more thoroughly. If you were offended by any of my comments, I apologize. Please become aware that nothing I have said is meant as a personal attack towards you.
Clearly, you have been soundly refuted and so you have chosen to find offense, rather than deal with the issues here.
Saying "I apogolize" the way you have here does not qualify as an "apology". This quote speaks only of a "defense" for yourself as to what you have said. There is no regret, no remorse, no conviction in your heart that you have hurt another's feelings. And then you close your "apology" by dismissing the comments perceived by DHK as personal attacks by blaming DHK for "choosing" to find an offense in them. This "apology" is no apology at all.
"apology"-1.a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another:
I have read both of you guys comments and the main one that I took to heart as personal without cause was the "emotional" comments because I for one get very emotional and passionate myself when it comes to certain topics and this has nothing whatsoever to do with womanhood. Do you never get emotional Gup? If you do, does it mean you might be a woman? You can tell someone you think they are getting too emotional and that may be fine, but to make it a female thing, come now, you were intentionally trying to belittle the man.
:jesus:
