I guess the screen name is truncated on the iPhone. It merely says “So many books….” I will have to log in on a computer to see what comes next!

Your first comment was fine. In fact, I conceded you made a good point, and I explained why I used an ellipsis. But your second comment, which you claim wasn’t intended to be rude, sure felt that way. It was the written version of “(shrug), whatever. You’re dismissed, because you used a pseudonym.”

It seems others read it that way, too. And given your penchant to complain about those who use fake screen names, it’s easily understandable.

Anyway, no hard feelings on my side. It’s all good (but I’m still not going to use my real name).

I feel attacked, so I want to explain. You called out a grammatical mistake. Somebody else called out one in your screen name, and I noticed another one. Felt like it was all in light-hearted fun, until people started attacking ME for being rude. I don’t think it’s my place to tell you what fake name you use here. I do, however, think people are far nastier to other people when they use pseudonyms. If you felt my response was rude, I apologize. I didn’t intend it that way. I imagine it would have been much ruder for me to insist you change your name.

Yeah, it’s so sweet that we Northerners will almost forget it’s not covered with mini-marshmallows!! This stuff would give Heisenberg a run for his money on the street.

Wait — that’s NOT his/her real name?
