Because it's the way you've responded to my posts. Because I usually know what you're going to say and am usually right. Because even when I do not post to you personally, there are certain times when I think "oh, plaw will probably have something to say about THAT". And am usually right. (In all fairness though, there are certain others on the BB that I anticipate certain responses from, especially in General Discussion ... and am usually right about them, too. Including within this thread.)

And because most of all, when I made the 'cow' remark as a footnote to all the OTHER things I disliked about Hillary Clinton, I thought 'watch somebody latch onto that and disregard the rest of the post'.

And I was right.

That's the difference between pushing buttons and a mere reply to a question or comment. You push a button anticipating a certain response or action, whether it's a washing machine or a person. Not my problem if certain BB-ers come back with almost exactly the reaction I expect, and almost every time.

One thing I did expect and didn't get was for you to be mature enough to walk away from this silly tete-tete of ours and get on with the thread (which is still an interesting one). I kept figuring you'd think 'she WON'T push my buttons I'll just give her nothing further to respond to'. I kept thinking, 'He's NOT going to allow me to go on with this dopey stuff..."

What did you do...you stooped to my level every single time.

And how did it all start? Because I joked that I agreed with someone who says Hillary is a cow.

Yes, there certainly IS a difference. And I am certifiably insane. Congratulations for running around in circles with a lunatic.

And thanks for the last word.
