I found the answer NO books??? to be RUDE and did not think she or he needed to answer me in that way. It was not necessary. What if I was a new MT? Don't you think an answer like that would upset someone? I guess not. No one is perfect.
I perceived it the way that I did and you obviously perceived it differently. The poster was not talking to you, so of course, you would see it differently.
I find it strange though that YOU were the only one to respond to my post. You say you are not the OP, but you seem upset with my response. Calling me rude, telling me to toughen up my skin, etc and telling me how I should have responded. Where do you get off telling me what I can or cannot say?? I find that rude.
I said what I had to say. The poster made me feel like an IDIOT. I am not going to thank someone for making me feel stupid. I do not have to be treated this way on this board or any other board.
And I do not see any SMILEY ICON in the subject line.????
