Does that offend you SC?First off, I will respond to any thread I feel like in the open forum. If you want to ask only certain people something, PM those people.
In response to your question: no it does not offend me. It annoys me. Like that question. You ask a question, people say "no," and you ask them if you have offended them. You asked me if you could call my girlfriend. I said no, we had 15 minutes of conversation of you trying to wheedle a way where you could talk to my girlfriend. The answer was and continues to be no.
You do not respect anyone's right to say no. You are not owed a reason why people wouldn't want to receive a call from you. "No" is enough.
I like you Matt. That is why I said you could call me, and gave you my number. I can choose when to talk to you if you call me (like when you tried to call me again at 11:30 at night) and I know that any conversation we have is going to be me practicing boundary control. That is fine with me. I can handle that. But to act like people are being unfair when they don't want you to call them is childish and beneath you.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
