Abortion not allowed

[Esquilax]

Evidently. Your male friends and fiancee. Yes I see it's obviously a gender thing. And you're a writer who doesn't know how language works.

I'm well aware of how language works, which is why when I mentioned calling my friends that, I used what we in the business call the "past tense," to indicate that it occurred in the past. I then expanded on the point by observing that I no longer call them that, though some habits die hard.

Excuse me for doubting your intentions for what you actually say.

Excuse me for not caring one whit what you think about my intentions, especially after you've lied about that exact thing in this thread before. You don't "doubt," Frodo, you willfully and uncharitably misinterpret, even when the person making the initial statements corrects you.

I'm sure your apology is sincere though. /me goes looking for the apology but finds none

And you won't find an apology, because people apologize for wrongdoing. I certainly don't have to apologize for the perceived wrongdoing of an imperious liar.
