I was tired...I apologize for not being exact. It is both...
There's snarky and there is down right rude...aka you...
Alison was just pointing it out...and there is nothing rude about it.
As opposed to that choice of emoticon which is frowning at me like I'm some moron who doesn't know the difference.
Personally, I didn't see anything rude in Alison's post...and the smilie she used was just highlighting the point of "no". We all use that smilie.
The rest of it...in terms of you thinking she was "frowning at me like I'm some moron who doesn't know the difference. Like I'm denigrating the lesser park of Disneyland."....well.....perhaps you might need to think about why it is you think like that about yourself.
I don't think like that about myself. I know I'm a very intelligent and gifted person. That emo is not "no" It is "sad"....as in I'm a sad person for not knowing the difference.
Sometimes, life is about just letting go and moving on. It's not always about being right. That's the Taurean trait coming through.
