It was evident from the OP that you were doing the pride/shame duality. And now you've tripled down on it.

Isn't pride a deadly sin?

I wonder if Trump's mother, Melania, takes pride in her toddler's Twitter postings.

It's a yes or no question. No need for discussion. Weak dodge away from your attempt to guilt trip us though.

BTW, doesn't your replacing the original content of a post with Emily Litella contradict a claim you made in post 13?

I don't care if it is a yes or no question or not. Discuss it yourself if you like.

If you feel I am trying to "guilt trip" you there is nothing I can do about that.

As far as post 13, I plead guilty.

Feel better now?

While I did enjoy referencing 13 in the context of your Twainism, it didn't make me feel any better. But thanks for asking.

As far as pride/shame and tripping on guilt goes, I'm not going down that rabbit hole with you, Sister.

my parent would be proud of the way I have conducted my self on this forum, and my Grandfather had threatened to haunt me if I ever voted for a member of the GOP, wonder what he would have thought about the orange menace?

Did your mom ever tell you, 'if you can't say something nice, shut yer yap'?

I think nailer misinterpreted my intentions in the OP.

That is very easy to do with the lack of body language, facial expression, etc.

No, she didn't.

There's nothing mean intended in the post you quoted. That's why I used the emoticons.
