As for people on both sides of the Atlantic making the same error...I do
not
discount the fact that there are deficiencies of logic that know no
geographical boundaries.

And, when they do not specify (because either will do - as long as the
photos support the subject matter) you assume (keep in mind that I was
never
asked - I was simply attacked based on childish assumptions) whatever you
wish instead of asking simple, logical questions to verify your
assumptions
before acting foolish and attacking somebody for something that was only
in
your head.

You are a bloody nutjob. You insist on supporting assumptions (you are
aware of what assumptions are, aren't you?) that are not supported by my
plainly written posts.
You cannot be reasoned with when you continue to insist that something was
"meant" when nothing in the original post supports your argument.
The argument that "A" is meant because "anti-A" was not said is both
illogical and unsupportable.
Using your reasoning, I can assume you are a terrorist and a child
molestor.
You never said you were, but I am assuming it based on your logic of
assuming facts not in evidence.

There was nothing posted either way in my post. The spin that some of the
people here placed on my original post was entirely in their heads.
(Bouncing around lonely in all likelihood...)

I give what I get.

I will agree with you as soon as I am shown where I requested ANYTING for
free.

Oh.....really? So, there'll be no change then?

I, like most people, am not likely to respond well to false accusations.
You should get used to that. You will see it frequently throughout your
life. When people are pissed on, they get testy.
