@aral You messed up. Can you let it go now?

@amywamy999 I don’t believe that I did. Can you tell me how I messed up by responding to the points I made instead of a general accusation? -
@aral You used an inappropriate analogy to try & convey a point. Maybe this was for dramatic effect, I don't know, but it was inappropriate. -
@amywamy999 That is your opinion and I respect that. However, I do not agree that it was inappropriate. -
@aral don't understand your analogy. People get it, they just think it's out of order. -
@amywamy999 Again, fair enough. They are entitled to their opinion. I do not believe that it is out of order. -
@aral Don't expect people to believe that having their information stolen is the same as being abused. Its clearly not. -
@amywamy999 That is exactly what the analogy does _not_ do and I expressly state that in my post. Did you actually read my post? - 2 more replies

@aral (And please don't block me. I happen to agree with you. I am, as they say, just sayin') -
@foomandoonian You’re more than welcome to disagree with me (& thanks for your feedback) :) Why would I block you for that? -
@aral I've been blocked by a few folk for no worse. I kinda miss Dave Winer, but I'm sure I was only blocked for making a great point. ;) -
@foomandoonian I tend to block people I don’t need to interact with. e.g, recent examples have been people who use salutations like jizzrag. -
@aral Haha! I may be an argumentative type but I stay away from the insults. Still, some people don't react well to simple contradiction.

@aral Analogy protip 2: Analogies suck. The thing that is most like the thing you are trying to describe is the thing itself. Focus on that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
