You see Gab, you confuse he hellout of me anyway, but what are you saying here, speak plainly agian for me would you?
The way I'm reading it, and let me know if I have it wrong, is that you have said that I am bullying BB, I honestly don't know which of my posts you get this perception from and have asked you to point this out to me, your response 'Pointing out to a dyslexic mind doesn't make much sense, Lee' could be seen by me to be you insulting me. Now I'm not propered to belive that Gabs, but I would like clarification of what you meant be it? The rest seems to indicate you think me guilty of some act of mixing points? Again I can't see this, and would ask you to point out where you belive I have done so?
