@divegeester saidColloquialism is not your strong point, is it?
Why do you “imagine what you said happened” On what basis, other then your “imagination” are you making that claim?
Anything to do with the tone of your buddy suzianne’s comment by any chance or just pure “imagination”?
@very-rusty saidI assure you that it is a direct reaction only to your personality.
The misfits surround their Misfit Queen which she named herself. If you say something to her or even defend yourself against something she has said to you they try ganging up on you.
I've had the fun of doing so with them. Most can't keep up with my typing. 😉

@very-rusty saidIt appears that you are now a disciple of divegeester now as well.
I strongly disagree with you Pete, the way something is said can also give off a tone to it. I been bantering for years and know that to be very true. Also being a Clan member of the Misfits would mean you are bias when it comes to what is said. You didn't like my repsonse so big deal, perhaps yours wasn't quite desired either, just live with it.

That explains a lot.
@very-rusty saidUnqualified opinion is just like that.
LOL@ Suzie Q, you have such a wonder personality yourself in your own mind!!! 🙂

Everyone has one.
@petewxyz saidIt’s fascinating how much of your crap is always Very Rusty’s fault.
Entirely your imagination. It was a reaction to the tone of Rusty's reply to my original comment (and the fact that it completely missed my point imo). Read from there if you want it to make sense in context. The strength of the comment makes me sound overly certain about my speculation, but it is actually just a strong response to Rusty's irritating reaction. Posts have no tone of voice.
from a BBC World News article:
John Bangs, the former head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said banter had become a "convenient word to cover up bullying and harassment".
"It's becoming a popular word which could cover up a whole host of more problematic meanings," he said.
"You might call it a cover word, to deflect any investigation into what you're doing if you're a kid who wants to get involved in something naughty."

@divegeester saidNot sure I ever claimed to be reacting to Rusty before that post. So whose crap is this about?

Fire away, but don't expect more responses, life is too short.
@very-rusty saidGoogle "banter" yourself and you'll find considerable discussion on reputable lexicography sites such as Merriam-Webster about the way that the friendly connotations have given way to a less pleasant meaning since many in the online community claim it's "only banter" when called out for sniping and personal remarks. I simply chose a short comment to make my point. Sorry if I thought a short comment was all that would be needed.
