You say, Can you give me an example of when and how I have directly "pushed" you?

Hello? If you had read my post carefully, you would see that I stated clearly that I personally have nothing against you. You have not pushed me. If you had pushed me, I would have something against you. As it stands, I was simply trying to explain why you have your critics.

If not, why don't you let those who think I have offended them or pushed them speak for themselves.

Fine, last time I try to play the peacemaker. I leave you in the hands of those who are offended by you.

I had imagined you had learned something over the personal and very public quarrel you had with your own daughter. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that that experience had taught you, that if you were capable of offending your own daughter (whom you dearly love) that you would also have had an "Aha!" moment to realize that your very assertive style has ALSO offended other SGs.

You really ought to "seek peace and pursue it" Jim. But at any rate, your quarrel is not with me, and I will no longer "interfere" by trying to understand you.
