[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1159314, member: 17767"] Long ago, I participated in a thread where I was referencing the metatarsal bones of a cow. I also referrenced the distal phalanges. I remember milkmaid making a comment that I took to be disciplinary in nature. She offered that farmers don't know those terms and offered terms as I remember being the coffin bone for the phalange that occupies the hoof. In that instance, the more anatomical name was not to be used in sympathy to the farmer. I thought today she took a contrary turn by her statement about farmers not knowing which orifice was involved. I reacted. As CP said and I will acknowledge, "I screwed up". I don't say that to patronize CP. I think he and I are finished and that is fine with both of us. I would have been more guarded if I had known her nature. I had formed a vision of her as a grouchy old woman. Now I suppose that is going to make someone else mad. I apologize to milkmaid. I don't know what else to do. If she is anything philosophically like me; I don't accept sympathy, apologies, weakness, cry babies and negative people well. But that is all I know to do. I reacted poorly to a set of images I had in my head. I thought she was poking me again at a time I did not want to be poked. [/QUOTE]
