Axe to grind know it alls

Tim, I don't think you realize what you wrote was mean.  Enough so that the person has carried it around until now.

George,

     Mean to  ishkabibi?  How was that mean, I meant it humorously?  Do you know him and he told you this?

Thanks,
   Tim

OK Tim, I see you really thought it was funny, and maybe I have misunderstood the situation.  But if he wasn't ticked off why would he make his post under a thread called "Axe To grind know it alls"?  

Hello George,

     Yes, I really (as in actually) thought it was funny.  But I don't think it was really (as in very) funny. I now understand that you assumed he was ticked off at me because he titled his thread "Axe to grind know it alls".
     But his original post gave no specific examples and named no specific user names.  I had no reason to believe he was referring to me as one of his so called "Axe to grind know it alls".
    Only much later in the thread did he give a specific example of what he was referring to.  It was a reply posted on another thread he started that he titled "Sucking the romance out of the music".
   My post was in response to this specific example he cited in which a member told him to put on some music and be romantic with himself. I just posted that the reply to his cited example was relevant and funny.  I still think it was a relevant and funny reply which lacked any evidence of a particular axe to grind.  I believe most members would agree with my assessment.
     I had and still have no intention of being mean to ishkabibi.  I'm simply calling them as I see or hear them and funny is funny.

Thanks,
  Tim
