I took some time just now to review the entire thread. Nothing of what I said about disappointment was about anything you wrote in any of those postings. > I restored the context, and > you said you didn't mean what you had said. Again, no. I didn't mean what you thought I had said.

I think most native speakers of English would read the statement "If it walks like a duck..." as an indirect way of calling me a liar. In polite society I think most people would take being called a liar as an insult.
