Thanx - I guess it was just a two-way thing. You were insulted by me "lecturing" you (I din't intend to, but...), and I felt insulted by your comeback. My apologies, as well.
Well, the truth hurts, but I won't beat around the bush. Yes, in my hazy little HP supplement world, Jessica's a daughter of yours. I also said she "took after her mother", which meant you. I just find your excessive wordiness annoying, and that's how I purged my feelings - in a subtle little way I wondered whether you'd pick up or not. My profuse apologies for anything I don't know or understand - if you really talk that way irl or if your character's supposed to be that way, I have no idea. And it's not like I can't understand big words, but it just isn't the norm, and animal instincts tell me to fear change and new things...
