    To label another member in such a way isn't kind.

    To put words in my mouth was not only unkind, it was rude.

    That's your perception of the situation - it certainly wasn't mine. Particularly as there was a :) in BucksLady's reply.



    I think to suggest another forum member is ''oversensitive'' is ironically ''insensitive''.

    Could we all agree that both atush and Bucks Lady are nice people and this has all gone a bit awry and get back on track.
