Actually perhaps you WRITE things the wrong way.  Also, as for not ever
saying a bad word against me that is false.  I quote the following:
-"Like I tried to point out before but you got defensive about it "
-"That is just outright prejudice and very ignorant. "
"You cannot take the truth you wimp."
" You do not have a clue about anything obviously. So let me just quote
you "stupid, stupid, stupid" "
-"Stop being such a blockhead. "

Now, that is only a few of them.  So to say you never said a bad word
is either a lie or you have a very short memory span.
