I understand what you are trying to say, Key. And I applaud you for stating your postion a lot nicer than I did. You are right when you say you can't always judge the tone of a message from a post. And while I try to give people the benefit of the doubt in regards to that, the tone of kiowas' post seemed pretty clear to me. It appeared to say, *Thanks for your help, now buzz off.* I felt I needed to respond to that since kiowas was replying to my post where I was asking him to keep us updated on what happens with this particular incident, not for tons of info on him, personally. Even Jesus didn't always excuse bad behavior. I was just being honest in my reply. But kiowas has a right to his life and certainly doesn't have to tell us anything if he doesn't want to. And although I wanted to reply to you, I'm trying to avoid criticizing him further, because that's not what this board is all about. I said what I had to say, and I'll let it go at that. If I took kiowas' post wrong, he can always reply and straighten me out. Dakota |
