With the utmost respect Lycan, I don't think Hamster was trying to "score points" with anyone. Rather, I think Hamster's aim was to try to synthesize and understand your point. Clearly, Hamster differentiates from your point. Thus, I believe her post on page four wasn't a quip at you as much as it was to point out what she felt was a point that needed to be addressed. Ideally, had you two reached a consensus on AK's point, you would both be able to provide constructive points to AK in regards to his dilemma. Hamster, am I incorrect there?

Additionally, given the connotation given to "butthurt" and the high amount of LGBT posters here, I would recommend a different word choice.

Additionally (speaking to Hamster), it may be in, on occasion, your best interest and the interest of others to just let some things go. Your attention to detail, while impressive, can occasionally prove problematic in that, on occasion, you can pick up details that aren't there, or aren't meant to be there. lol I myself have fallen "victim" to that on occasion.
Thanks, Harley, all points taken. I have received similar feedback regarding attention to detail in performance reviews once, so you are in good company reiterating that. Thanks also for making us aware of the connotation of the LGBT-unfriendly term - I will erase the newly acquired word from my database. There are limits to vocabulary expansion. You are clearly quite attuned to sensitive connotations, because when I made a brief search online, I did not pick up on the distasteful part of it.

Back on track for AK482 suggesting a classic route (Betty Dodson) for - not quite "resolving" the issue, but "getting closer to resolving it and becoming more prepared to resolve".
Thanks for this!
