Trust me, if I'm overtly disagreeing with you, you'll know. I am not known for my diplomacy around here.
I did disagree with your post a little bit (I don't think the state law is particularly relevant to the OP's question, but I wasn't going to make an issue of that until you "challenged" me).
I've no idea why you or
AlmostTrick thought this hostile:
Does that matter to me? Or does it invalidate what I said?
I was perplexed because I didn't understand why that seemed to be directed at me.
I can agree that maybe my comment wasn't completely relevant, but the conversation was already headed that direction. And I still feel like your first reply was the best answer and up until I'd gotten to your reply, that was pretty much what I was going to say so I had nothing left but to recommend, know your state and local laws.
So if you quote me, I'm probably going to respond if I can't see exactly what you are getting at, or if I disagree. As I said, if you'd just put out the comment without quoting anyone, it would have stood on it's own.
