Do you only comment if you don't understand something?

Again, one can be obnoxious and offensive in a civil manner.
I find you obnoxious and offensive.

:>.Well, Sheila, I replied noting that

Seemingly your reading ability IRT English is questionable since you 
did not recognize "in challenge" as English  And when I made a post 
about "compulsory heterosexuality", you sent more email asking me to
explain what _complusive_ heterosexuality means. Again, your reading
ability is questionable.

Again, I suggest you use a dictionary instead of making a diddleshit post
asking me to explain what in challenge means because you don't recognize
it as English. When Professor Steiger posted that it would be nice if I
and other women posters had at least a modicum of intelligence, I didn't
know the meaning of modicum. It took only a few seconds to look up the
meaning via an "on-line" dictionary -- less time than making a post and
I got immediate feedback. I also have several hard copy dictionaries.
If you don't have one, I suggest you get one and use it!

What part don't you understand?

:>If you replied, I've not seen  the post. If you didn't reply,

Good. I took your adivce a few months ago and didn't reply to your 
insulting and/or stupid emails. I find you obnoxious, offensive and
rather dull.
