What you posted didn't "value her input" in any way whatsoever. You slammed
her personally, and did so in the most ungentlemanly manner it has been my
unfortunate chance to read in recent memory.
Geez, go ahead and *disagree* with anyone, any time you like. That wasn't a
disagreement it was a personal insult. It was sarcastic and demeaning, it
was rude, it was boorish and socially inept. How do you disagree with people
in person??? Start a bar fight????
You owe her an apology, and unless you wish to be ignored and plonked by
99.5% of the list, I'd tender a gently worded sincere PUBLIC apology PDQ,
and make it clear you mean it!!!!!!
<guess>You will be astonished to find it will likely as not be
accepted</guess> and you will also find something else out....although you
are no gentleman, Carrie is indeed a "lady" in the most ancient, honorable
and classic definition of the word.
