Re: Messed up AC today!
Posted by Luisa on 5/19/08

    As I said before, I understood your point. I don't agree with you. I advise
    you to go back and read all of the posts by "me" on the board. If you still
    find them to be "light-hearted" I must say I find that surprising. We have
    very different senses of humor and, I would suspect,very different teaching
    styles. I don't think it's appropriate to call someone "stupid" under the
    guise of a joke. I found the term "honey" condescending as was your comment
    that I did not understand your post.

    We shall agree to disagree. Thanks for your well wishes. All the best to you
    as well.
