Writerly Arrogance

[T.Allen.Smith]

I understood and agree with everything you said in your previous post. I consider my reply to you an "addition to" what you posted, not a correction.

You made your points well and clear. These forum posts have a way of adding together different angles of the same topic.

There was certainly no offense taken as you spoke from your experience as an artist, which is always relevant. I certainly didn't feel attacked in any way or defensive of these forums. No apology is necessary.

Now, see, that's what I'm talking about, TAS.

It's that generous and openhearted spirit, which you have just shown me, that makes this sight so enjoyable.

I thank you, and I'm so relieved to hear that I hadn't offended you, as I feared I had.

Having been married to the same woman for 46 years, I know how easy it is to say something in a way that comes out wrong.

And, to all of you...if I ever do say something hurtful or offensive, I want you to know I am always open to you expressing your feelings on the issue. Causing pain is never my intention.

So, thanks again, TAS.
