As an unbiased outsider who read the comments in question from both
of you, it's just a misunderstanding - perhaps a wanted one, but a
misunderstanding non the less. The notbob guy never said the red
beans were kidney beans. He did call kidney beans red beans though,
and they are red, so from that the misunderstanding grew. So, unless
you guys actually enjoy arguing with each other - and from the tone of
your exchange I suspect you do - in the meantime please accept my
unbiased outside opinion on this matter which is that both of you are
guilty of reading too fast (I'm guilty of that too), while already
concocting in your responses in your head - but I'm going to drop
those charges as I believe there is room for growth from both of you.
Now get the hell out of this court and don't let me see either one of
you in here again.
